The Administration actions are all to fund the $4.5 trillion tax cut.
* DOGE - Cut Expenses
* Tariff - Bring Revenue (another form of Tax, the victimized countries can't/don't influence USA politics); this is essentially Sales/VAT Tax without being said as Sales/VAT Tax.
* Cutting Aids - Cut Expenses
* Ukraine - Cut Expenses
They're looking for all avenue to fund $4.5 trillion tax cut for the Billionaires.
That is the main logic and reason behind all these moves, not the smoke and mirror they said to the media.
- hypeatei 2y agoThat's not the main reason either, actually. There is no way that you're going to find $4.5T in "waste, fraud, and abuse" unless you consider anything you don't like as that. What they're really doing is handicapping as much as possible to make government appear inept so that they can come in and privatize.
- hello_moto 2y agoThey don't really care if the end result is to make Govt inept for privatization. If that happened, good, otherwise, the Rich will still get their tax cut. No matter what, The Rich wins.
- dnissley 2y agoYeah all these cuts could be reasonable steps towards financial responsibility. Provided they put the savings towards funding future liabilities and paying off debt. Unfortunately that won't happen and we'll basically be in the same bad financial position as before, if not worse.
- kstrauser 2y ago> Provided they put the savings towards funding future liabilities and paying off debt. This is me laughing bitterly. We know darn well that's not what'll happen.
- xnx 2y agoThe goal is to rhetorically balance the "savings" from firing people with the additional giveaways to the rich to a low numeracy audience. The deficit and debt will continue to increase, but at least we will also get a recession.
- hello_moto 2y agoRecession is good for The Rich. They can scoop asset and suppress wage.
