You really need it explained to you why US businesses should be barred from engaging in bribery of foreign officials?

Do you not know that greasing the palms of some folks in 3rd world countries is business as usual and you don’t do business there without it? Glad we don’t stand for it doing business in the US, but we’re not the world’s government.

85% of social security payments being taxed for some is blatantly unfair.

I can get behind 50% being taxable since your employer (or yourself if self employed) got a deduction for it originally. But the limit should be 50%, not 85%.

Help me understand how I’m getting a social security deduction when I pay 15% self employment tax?

The plan is working perfectly. PT is doing what the American People wanted, uncovering all of the waste and fraus the swamp has loved on for years. It’s a tough job uncovering the hidden boondoggle the swamp has lived on. Most American will not spend the time to delve into the details to understand what is going on.

What they will understand is it is stoopid to spend .04 to make a penny. They do not like paper straws. They do not like open borders. These are easy to understand.

So, they now are OK with the overall Trump agenda because they know what he is doing will ultimately make their life better. This is proven by his ascending approval numbers.

It is a very smart strategy.

This section of this thread proves my point …..it is “beneath the presidency” BUT it has achieved his goal. I’ll bet 95% of you prefer a plastic straw over paper.

If he can EO a fix to paper straws, how about an EO to fix plastic gas cans so we can actually pour out the gas!

I predicted months ago that this experiment would be all about just identifying specific instances of problems in narrow ranges of spending, just to give the MAGA base more to resent, whilst avoiding critical details.

it's the mother's fault for having children they cannot take care of...this is what Dems have encouraged...

why should people who work hard to make ends meet to take care of their own family and children be punished in having to pay for other people's kids?

How do you feel about everyone being taxed to education other folk’s children?

I am being taxed to educate other people's children and I don't like, considering I am paying more in taxes, in many cases a lot more, than people who do have kids in schools. There is a need for education but the way people are being taxed for it is unfair. I have no kids, so why should I be taxed more than those who have multiple kids in schools? Public schools waste money and are failing. Dr Thomas Sowell a few weeks ago posted where 54% of US adults are at or below 6th grade level reading. Schools in blue cities have entire graduating classes at multiple schools at 7th grade level reading, science and math.

LG - we all know how your predictions turn out. Experience says wait just a bit and it will turn out the opposite of your prediction.
