Here's something you need to come to grips with.

In Trump's first term, Trump trusted and appointed some folks that were historically a part of the establishment. They turned on him with the rest of the swamp that he was trying to drain. He will not do that again. If you don't get used to a lot of outsiders being pulled in, you will have a saturated pillow for quite some time.

Why does Trump need to endorse anyone in Ohio? How 'bout just leave it up to Ohioans? Furthermore, why endorse someone 2 yrs in advance? A lot can happen in that time

You propose that the .gov just take what they need?

Well, that comes down to the People i.e. budget.... they are already doing it today, and have been your whole life. There is no reason to have transitional system when its not required. The IRS is just the Department of Education on steroids.

I guess they also agree with the grade school approach to doing it. Not a problem cleaning out the government of garbage but the approach should be done in an adult manner. Individual 2nd grade essay requests is just plain childish.
Federal Govt has not grown in 4 years its policies are screwed up change them. ID the problem vs the symptoms. Accountability.

Asking for status updates at work is actually 'adulting', and builds accountability.

It's hilarious. The people that think the US Federal gov't should be a major corporate employer think it's childish to treat it like a major corporate employer. You want to treat the gov't like a corporate employer? You got it. When a major corporation gets major upper executive leadership changes, it's not uncommon for them to go through and fire/layoff VAST parts of management and the workforce, then rehire according to the current leadership vision. I saw it happen at a major Fortune company not long ago. I wasn't cut, but I left voluntarily for another company before the cuts really ramped up.

That is taking what they need/want.

If that is the case, they are already taking what they want. Congress can increase the budget to $100T if it wants, that is a budget issue not we don't have money issues.

The only way the government runs out of money is by Congress not authorizing spending.

Why would you setup an agency to collect what clearly doesn't exist? 🤷‍♂️

Because he can. I suspect, if you were honest, your only real gripes here are that it's Trump, and he's popular enough for it to work.

I just had a second grade essay meeting, otherwise known as a weekly staff meeting to get updates on last week and projections for this week.

Then I gave them all a juice box and told them to take a nap.

I have a 1x1 with my boss later this week. I'm going to tell him to get bent and stop being childish. See you guys on the welfare line.

Take the fed govt back to what the founding fathers intended.

We ran the govt on half of what we did 10 years ago (and we had 2 wars then) and Obama spent like a drunken sailor...

That is a spending issue i.e. budget, you were talking about revenue. The way the current system works, the government doesn't need to tax as the item being tax doesn't exist, its a fiction.

Reducing spending greatly would make sense, since they wouldn't have to create the additional fictional items which the People think exist but don't.

Why would anyone setup an agency to collect what DOES NOT exist?

Yeah, we understand how it works. You're idea is dumb.

Now, I agree that we do not need an IRS and the federal government can raise the revenue it needs through tariffs and fees like the constitution lays out. But just printing money while collecting no revenue is just a recipe for runaway inflation.

That would be the tax (just like it is today that you pay on top of your 1040) and it would be uniform and not involve partisanship as you suggested, and wouldn't require administration. They have been doing it your whole life to a large degree. The IRS is doing something that clearly isn't needed, they put fictional (don't exist) items from one account to the account.... as are a great deal of overhead at the business and personal level i.e. accountants. Waste.

It wouldnt be partisan. Such BS, Evita...

If you gave Dems the printing press, there would be a UBI....

Trump has a tremendous amount of power. He knows it and he uses it. Without his endorsement JD Vance would not have won a Senate seat, not to mention his VP position. Bernie Moreno would not have won his Senate seat.

Presidents rarely endorse this far out. They usually endorse during the primaries.

That is a small gripe, and has little or nothing to do with your complaint that he should stay out of it and "leave it to Ohioans".

As has been mentioned, presidents have been endorsing candidates forever. At the end of the day, you're just telling us that you're either a party hack or a never-Trumper. Little more or less.

Did you bitch when previous presidents used their "power" in endorsing candidates?

That is a budget issue not a revenue issue. (You implied the federal government needs revenue from taxes, and that is simply not true in any context) Nothing even needs to change under law, Congress would still set a budget and can abuse the budget... they already do... your whole life.
