I love this idea that somehow we are saving money when making cuts to many life saving and necessary services. Like OK, so we cut funding to NOAA, NASA, Medicare, Medicaid, social security, the post office, the department of education, the IRS, the EPA the CDC and some how there's not going to be a big oh shit moment when we realize that those things were required for general maintenance of the country.
Like, I'm gunna cut a lot of cost by no longer changing my tires on my car and just driving in the rain with bald tires. There's simply no way that would end bad for me or anyone else in the vicinity of my automobile.
There's gonna be an oh shit moment for a lot of the supporters hopefully, but the actual people in power want the government to collapse. Their goal is to remake all aspects of the government as a private for profit business. The first steps in such a plan is obviously the destruction of public services like the Mail.
The goal here is not actually to save money for the US government, it's to make money from replacing the government with your own private businesses
No one is even benefiting from this alleged saving money. My taxes are higher than ever.
I just saved a ton of money each month by cancelling all of my health insurance!
To be fair insurance providers shirk obligations to pay for your treatment anyway. It's why Luigi is so damn popular.
Yeah, his blow-up with Rubio 100% confirms that he genuinely thinks that layoffs - not retirements, but actual firing someone - are a metric for success, and that every government contract can be canceled and the whole value of the contract is somehow recovered, which is amazingly idiotic.
They just need to make it down the block though.
