I wouldn't blame anyone for applying for free money. That's just stupid. Go apply for all the welfare you possibly can, it's never wrong to receive it. I was able to get my kids in medi-cal during COVID because they changed the income limits and then wouldn't cancel any policy for years. They are stupid and crooks, but I will never get back more money than they take from me. Take every benefit you can because you already paid for it.
It's not hypocrisy to take grants and welfare while saying the programs shouldn't exist.
Trump should look at the top products that Canada and Mexico export and offer zero interest loans and short term subsidies to American startups who can produce them within 12 months. Use an that money DOGE is saving.
I have no illusions; mistakes will be made in this process. Advantages will be taken. Good people will be hurt. Bad people will profit. I think in the short term it will hurt the economy. But it's still a huge net win for America and the middle class. I've worked in government. They are mostly worthless. It's the most inefficient system ever created. Maybe 5% of the employees even care about their responsibilities. Most of the responsibilities shouldn't even exist. The system rewards failure with more money. It rewards incompetence and breeds corruption and graft. Good riddance to most of it even if some good people lost their jobs. You can't reform a system without collateral damage.
People are quick to cheer because everyone that 19 year old interviews probably needs to be fired anyway. I don't know the exact situation, but if I wanted to eliminate an entire division of people, like the entire department of education, why not hire a 19 yr old to do the interview and just tell him to fire everyone. There's probably some bullshit requirement for an exit interview. Or they want this kid to break some rules, then they can fire the kid after he's already done the damage.
It is ironic. One of the main problems with feminism is portraying women as a victim class in which patriarchy is considered the oppressor. This is the Marxism found in feminism. However, we know that women embracing their role in the family as nurturer and caregiver to children and becoming beneficiaries of the patriarchy is how to relieve them of their victim status. This means they truly are victims of Marxist feminism, they just think it's liberation.
By analogy, it's similar to Christians being free while placing themselves under the yoke of Christ. It's only in embracing his commands and fully relying on him while denying ourselves that we can know freedom. Satan's lie is that doing whatever you want is freedom.
Feminism does facilitate deadbeat guys to hook up with women absent the responsibility God requires of them. It degrades women and men to think they are benefiting from degeneracy.
You don't have to end property tax, just restructure it. Average home turn over is every 9 years. Just tax a house sale at 10% each time it's sold. People can roll the tax into their mortgage. But you can actually own your property, no strings attached. If real estate agents take 6% it's not a stretch to give the government 10%. More importantly, cut spending in local governments to reduce the taxes needed.
Releasing a list is dumb. Everyone crying to release the Epstein list has thought zero steps ahead. If the list is of pedophiles who committed crimes, or worse, then we don't want the list released. We want those people investigated and prosecuted. Epstein wasn't only a blackmailing human trafficker; he was a billionaire investor with financial clients.
Anyone on the list could just claim they had business dealings with Epstein.
Think about it. If there is a page in his black book that says: Bill Clinton, 4/13/2011 2:00pm appt. with 11 year old girl... why wouldn't that be investigated and why would you want that information released to the public if there is a current investigation?
If the black book is just a list of names and numbers, that isn't incriminating in the slightest. Everyone knows Epstein ran in elite circles with ex-presidents and even DJT. I'm sure all their names and numbers are in his black books for one reason or another.
Just releasing a list of names is not good. It will just cause greater divides and possibly be slander against innocent people.
Think about it: if you simply did one business transaction with Epstein and never had anything to do with anything illegal, and then your name gets released on this list... I would sue the federal government for millions for liable and defamatory practices.
What we need is a day of reckoning where dozens of people are all arrested simultaneously for their crimes.
