Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Lets see how long it takes them to turn US Treasury Bonds from their AAA+++ (or whatever) status down to D.
"Lost"... yeah, "lost" it in their bank account.
But it made Elon money and broke shit, so it served it's unstated purpose.
STUPID Libtards thought DOGE would NOT be Efficient! They lost $500BILLION in ONLY a couple months! THATS efficiency!
Again. This is bad journalism. It’s not lost, it’s “lost.”
i don't understand your point. the article reports that the IRS is being disrupted by DOGE, and as a result, IRS agents are not able to do their jobs properly, which results in less tax money being received
No taxation without representation
So now DOGE has removed all these costs, will Americans not have to pay any taxes anymore? That's the conservative claim right? That taxes paid for all this stuff and Liberals were taxing everyone super high for it...
...so now taxes drop to zero for EVERYONE? Right?
Best I can do is drop the taxes on the rich. 👉👈🥺
oh, they'll still have to raise taxes on the lower half of earners, strip essential services bare--if they continue to exist at all, and pile on trillions to the national debt for that.
adding debt is 'free money' to them. not like they gotta pay it back..
I enjoyed the “we gotta lower the national debt for our kids” which quickly converted into “we gotta raise the national debt and we’re going to go into more debt” all in the same month.
They are planning on replacing income tax with a sales tax via tariffs. I wish I were kidding.

Why would you say "half" when you could say "500"?
500 Billion Dollars.
Doesn't half a trillion sound like more than 500 billion? Even though 500 billion is already a lot?

A trillion is larger than a billion, so half a trillion is a more rage bait headline.
Humans can’t fathom the vast distances of space. How are we going to fathom a trillion dollars?

IN A MONTH.
4 years of months left to go.
Maybe next time people can get off their fat fucking asses and vote. Or, if you did vote, maybe vote more intelligently next go around.
If we’re even allowed to vote ever again.
It'll be allowed, but they've just got to make sure only the "right people" get counted.
Ok, fine, libertarians, you won. I don’t have to pay my taxes now, right?
Libertarians will deny Trump is one of them, but Trump/DOGE isthe most relevant they have ever been
Thats the fun thing with fascist governments, before you'd get a fine and asked to pay back on a payment plan, and maaaybe get jail time if you reaally went out of your way to not pay your taxes year after year.
Now they can just come get ya in the middle of the night and throw you in jail for any number of reasons, not paying your taxes, being one of them. Oh and then maybe get deported because they took your ID's and passport and when your family members throw a stink and demand you released because you're a born and raised US citizen, oops, they can't find you in the system.
They're very efficient at destroying the country.
He also lost nearly a trillion dollars for Tesla. Tells the Tesla employees to keep their stock, hinting at how great things are and how much better they will be soon, and then the entire c-suite sells off around a hundred million in stock...
