Why would you want to fire everyone at the Department of Energy and take all of their money? I think they do some important shit.
Read what I was responding to: it was the Department of Education.
No delegated power given the federal for any what they do among the several States. That it is considered âimportantâ is not an amendment to the Constitution to make it lawful.
Also, I said nothing about taking money the employees have already got. Just ending the department and firing the lot.

Agree that. Any system that ensures the funding reaches the right recipients is fine by me. The trouble is that when there are so many millions of dollars/pounds sterling swilling around, itâs so easy to âloseâ a few of them; so your suggestion of materiel and not cash has merit.
Heâs pretending to be smart since you didnât abbreviate it as DoEd.
I avoid that abbreviation because some bureaucrat might look ad âEdâ and think: âHey, we could have federal departments that regulate people by name! This could get me a promotion!â
Boomtards think this id the greatest economy in world history.
But canât make a single payment on the debt.
The economy is doing well, tax revenues continue to increase.
We donât have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem.
Solve that problem and we can begin whittling down the debt.
I regard the US government as almost identical to Weimar Germany. Instead of WW1 our artificial punitive debts are for colonialism, capitalism and western supremacy in general. We are a decaying state of degeneracy whose debts will never be paid - and should never be paid. They were never legitimate to begin with. Ideally they will collapse this clown government and resign it to the dustbin of history.
If âreal 'Muricansâ like yourself (CONservatives) actually cared about the US they wouldnât be defending Americaâs antagonistic foreign policy and overseas Empire of 800+ foreign military bases which is bleeding the country, literally and figuratively.
Well done The Donald for slashing overseas/foreign aid. I wish our government would follow suit because most of the zillions we give to corrupt tin-pot countries ends up in private Swiss bank accounts.
Some of them donât have the faintest idea of the bigger picture, and they prove it on here day after day.

Is it? Not according to a Youtube documentary about the dire straits the American middle classes are in right now, and which is worsening by the day. Not to mention a staggering national debt.
This âclown governmentâ is smarter than you think - much smarter! Think yourself lucky that you have a conviction politician in the White House; he might be a bit gauche but at least he isnât an establishment president.
The UK spends a pittance on foreign aid.
What I said is perfectly accurate and the US middle class is doing better than it has in 25 years.

You are a clueless boob.
I canât be bothered to correct you any longer; itâs like talking to a child. Itâs enough that you believe the nonsense NASA churns out day after day, but to naively believe government statistics in these days of fake news and alternative facts is on another level.
This budget is ridiculous. The US has the most powerful economy in the history of the world, and yet we still donât have universal healthcare, universal education, or affordable housing solutions. Production goes up while wages remain stagnant. Our infrastructure is falling apart. Weâre doing nothing about climate change. However, weâve got a record level stock market (that most Americans donât benefit from) and robber-baron-level inequality.

I think the real takeaway is that at the end of the clip, the subjects of the psychological experiment choose to eat the rich.
This is just a pop-psychology experiment done on morning American television but there is honestly a lot of content there to be parsed. Good find.
So much BS. We donât want UHC, weâve had universal education from K-12 for a century, and âaffordable housingâ is nothing but welfare the removes much of the motivation for working hard and bettering yourself.
Real income is at an all time high.
Everyone who wisely invests with their retirement accounts benefits from the rising stock market.
Inequity? We have the highest levels of equality of opportunity in the world, the outcomes are up to us as individuals and parents.
You canât correct me because you canât refute the facts. All you âeducateâ us on is your own ignorance and conspiracy nut BS.
