Whataboutism isn't a valid defense against my original point, which was why are we hiring people when we are so deeply in debt.
For the record, I personally am completely against the tax cuts.
- theGnuMe 2y agoBecause the debt is a red herring.
- blindriver 2y agoThis sounds like a conspiracy theory. I thought that was relegated to MAGA but I guess both sides are just as vulnerable to it.
- theGnuMe 2y agoYou can continue to pontificate the blind but that is a failure to see reality as it is.
- blindriver 2y agoThis is exactly what MAGA says too.
- matwood 2y agoOk, given the size of the US budget and size of the US both population and land mass, the federal executive workforce is likely understaffed. The amount spent on the workforce is not excessive and is ~3% of the overall US budget. These cuts to the workforce are performative at best, or designed to destroy the federal government at worst. Given it's Musk and Trump, I think it's the later. And they are doing this under the guise of budget concerns, which is clearly bullshit when they still have a $4.5T tax cut on the table. So it's not whataboutism, it's was a quick way of highlighting how your post was incorrect.
