Elections DOGE is formed

Oh a year round patriotism spree in the exact year trump will be trying hard to extend his term.

But only if “they” want him to *wink*

Superficially it seems like waste but most of the time when we see these types of programs they're measuring something specific. In this case, my guess is that they're studying the impact of a particular type of steroid on aggression or something similar.

Is that waste? Really depends on why the study was commissioned.

That's the problem with these headline style approaches. Without the proper details, it's nigh impossible to judge what's being assessed.

$3 million to put hamsters on steroids on watch them cage fight?

lol… UFC wants its cut

Perfect video on how most govt employees are useless and incompetent

And it’s not far off. I’ve worked around govt employees for most of my career as a general contractor

Less government spending and more fiscal responsibility is definitely something we can all agree upon.

I wonder what’s going to happen when Trump charges secret service 300% above civilian rates to rent rooms and golf carts at his Hotels again. Elon gonna say anything?

I'm interested in what happens if they decide to try and audit the CIA

Probably not. Elon's going to be overbilling the US for Starlink by then.

Name a product that's price was risen and the store announces exactly why its price was risen.

Then compare those two or three examples you're about to post to the tens of thousands of price increases for products across a year.

As a tech bro, I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

You're still ducking. They routinely explain why they raised prices during earnings calls and investorr days. So again, please point me to these examples where and increase in high earner income tax increased prices of goods and services.

And 'President Kamala' would have continued the Trump tax cuts or there'd be a big downturn in the economy, as there always is when taxes for the rich rise.

She and the party proposed rolling back several of those tax cuts that didn't hep middle income and lower folks much. And christ you are dumb. Can you point me to which economic downturns occured after taxes on the rich rose?

They update their website once a week.
Wow... such a great example of quality work by a federal department.

What's the problem with updating it once a week? I see you keep moving goalposts because you didn't pay attention in your high school civics class.

This isn't a 'But the Republicans did it worse' issue while the Democrats are still criticizing their own leadership for not spending enough money on bullshit like sex changes for illegals and prisoners.

And who are these Democrats?

I've listened to investor calls and the execs routinely give the same canned and non-specific answers that are just meant to satisfy stock owners who's highest priority is the stock price goes up.

And everybody knows those calls are public and execs don't give answers leading to negative headlines that cause the stock price to plummet.

So while you leftists pretend that taxes and inflation have no bearing on the costs of everyday goods and housing, the last five years are proof they have a major effect.

Come on dude, just one example. You can't even find that?

So while you leftists pretend that taxes and inflation have no bearing on the costs of everyday goods and housing, the last five years are proof they have a major effect.

So taxes were cut and then the costs of everday goods and housing rose? That seems to prove the opposite of what you claim.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

So again, please point me

Naw, you can do that yourself.

Nothing wrong with admitting that you don't know what you're talking about. At least your intellectual flailing about is entertaining.

Who's admitting they don't know what they're talking about?

Basically you're admitting you have no idea why prices rise over the years & decades.

You have no idea why homes in the 1950s were so cheap.

Because supply of homes had not kept up with population growth is the number 1 reason. You're welcome.

If only you realized that the tax rate on high income used to be much higher. You keep owning yourself.

So cheap, and with a top income tax bracket rate of 91%. Sounds like we need to increase that top income tax bracket rate.

I'm a bit concerned about what they're going to cut. Fox News did a segment recently complaining about things like butterfly research lmao. Like of all things they could find isn't that one pretty important? Am I the only one that feels like this country has become really anti-science over the past few years?

They're going to focus on shit like that because it makes for good headlines, when in reality cutting from an insanely bloated agency like the DoD would be the best use of their efforts. We all know that isn't going to happen.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

And...... what are the other reasons?

And why are home builders not building enough homes? Laziness?

And what about everyday goods? Why have they multiplied in costs over the decades?

 

[avenue94]

And...... what are the other reasons?

You tell me.

And why are home builders not building enough homes? Laziness?

08 soured a lot of appetites, it takes forever to get permits to build, and existing homeowners tend to try and reduce the supply of housing and inflate the value of their good. Surely they taught you this in the civics and econ classes you weren't paying attention in.

And what about everyday goods? Why have they multiplied in costs over the decades?

Some have, some haven't, you'd have to be specific.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

You tell me.

Thank you for admitting ignorance on the subject.

Since you don't like things to be explained to you I'll just leave this graph for you to look at and figure it out for yourself.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

Some have, some haven't, you'd have to be specific.

Name one product that is the same price today, in US dollars, and readily available, than it was in the 1950s.

 

[Poon Goon]

Naw, you can do that yourself.

It really comes off as teenagers starting a "cool" new club. Give it a fun name, make some funny pictures, get a twitter handle, and start a podcast. Extremely hard to take it seriously and unless you are a moron it's pretty fucking embarrassing.
