Closing 120 of it's 600 offices:
It's the same 2 or 3 people. When enough ppl get tired of their drivel and put them on ignore, they create a new account so they can get more attention again. Unfortunately we have some posters on here who still fall for it every time and feed their insanity.Leftists on here are like a hydra. One leaves and then two take their place. These people have to be recruited or something. Is it to drive activity and traffic through this thread?
You NEVER commented on the size of the debt until Trump became President. Also, I corrected your misstatement on Clinton because you're uninformed. As far as being insecure, did you just pluck that word out of a hat like Kamala? Because I'm simply LAUGHING at you. And I couldn't care less about your stupid loaded question, because neither do you.You are an insecure dude. I have never commented one way or the other about the debt. You have zero idea of how I feel or don’t feel about the debt. I bring it up because it is the hot topic these days on the board. I brought up Clinton to illustrate how long it has been to balance a budget. 25+ years Let that sink in. We have had two republicans and two democrats since that and they haven’t been able to accomplish it. It’s a tough thing to do. That is the point. Finally I noticed you didn’t bother to answer the question
If we install the Fairtax, the IRS won't be needed. And if Trump switches to tariffs, the IRS won't be needed.If we’re going to have a federal tax system in the US, we need a functioning IRS.
Hopefully DOGE can modernize their computer systems and eliminate some of the bullshit.
IRS has made great strides within the past year getting functional online access set up for taxpayers. If they can freeze out the lobbyists like intuit, no reason most people should be able to file their return by going to the IRS website and clicking approve.
Winner Winner.I think we’re about to go to a different type of economy, there’s a reason they’re going to Ft Knox.
Clearly some major problems with some names on that list.
Preach! Exactly how it should be. Ridiculous that we make people jump through all the hoops.If we’re going to have a federal tax system in the US, we need a functioning IRS.

Same here, but it has to happen.Winner Winner.
I have to admit that I am nervous about it.
Yep it's never gonna happen.
I think he will reduce the debt, but unsure by how much. Hell, if he doesn’t, the interest alone will be like the third highest expenditure in 5 years. Has there been any expected goals created?hahahahaha look who suddenly gives a hot sht about the national debt.
Clinton only did it because the REPUBLICAN CONGRESS led by NEWT GINGRICH passed a balanced budget amendment AND they allowed a one time conversion of everyone's 401ks to Roth IRAs that year. The resulting windfall was a surplus and Clinton danced in the endzone like he invented the damn thing.
He’s LAUGHING at you Joe! LAUGHING!You NEVER commented on the size of the debt until Trump became President. Also, I corrected your misstatement on Clinton because you're uninformed.

Didn’t they do something dumb like sell their parking meter revenue for a lump some advance payment too.Democrats in charge, this is what they do.
HOLY SH*T, Chicago is being led by Democrats on a suicide mission! Chicago City Council just approved Mayor Brandon Johnson's $830 million infrastructure bond deal.
Under the approved plan, the city will defer principal payments for the first 19 years, making only interest payments during this period. This backloaded repayment schedule means that the total cost to taxpayers is projected to reach approximately $2 billion by the time the debt is fully repaid.
This is a terrible deal for Chicago taxpayers. Kicking the can down the road like that, with no payments for two years and then interest-only for nearly two decades, is just setting up future administrations—and Chicago residents—for a financial disaster. The city already has a mountain of debt, and this just adds to it without addressing the underlying issues.
It’s the same reckless spending mentality that got Chicago into trouble in the first place. Instead of reforming pensions, cutting waste, or prioritizing essential services, they keep borrowing and pushing the bill further down the line. Meanwhile, the residents who actually pay taxes get stuck with higher costs and fewer services.
Chicago needs DOGE!
Chicago has spent over $600 MILLION on illegal migrants, contributing to the city’s nearly $1 billion projected budget deficit for 2025.
Too. Many. Words.Thought Obama ended up doing an OK job ultimately. Voted for him the 2nd time.
Main thing that has pushed me left is empathy for others.
-I don't hate illegal immigrants, i think it should be managed differently but the criminal victimizing was a big red flag for me.
-The continued pursuit of LGB ppl, if they want to love each other it doesn't bother me, I'm not gonna hate on them for it.
-Based off exeperience traveling globally, I think America should revamp its medical system into something different, I don't know if single payer is the answer but the current exploitive system aint it, and if thats passed we should rework unemployment coverage to lower levels.
-Trumps leadership style is the antithesis of my belief of what govt officials should behave and lead. Was a big Rubio guy on his run, liked Nikki Haley in this primary.
My biggest belief is that the middle class is getting purposely eroded,
The corporate class wealth is booming while workers are punished and spending power is devalued. The SC ruling that opened the flood gates for unchecked money into politics has created a toxic environment that coupled with social media proliferation has people dehumanizing their fellow country men in ways similar to how we approached propaganda against Germany and Japan in WW2. If you dehumanize them then you don't have empathy towards them.
-Corruption and Oligarchs influence has gotten worse and worse, blue side doesn't make real moves because they wanted the corporate donor money, red side gets stirred up over cultural identity politics and used as carrots to keep them distracted from corruption and wealthfare expansion.
Until a party represents the people first attack corrupt insider trading, lobbyist buying votes on bills against their constituents, or find a way to address the infosphere of people that only believe things from their sides view points we're going to slide towards more and more of the 1% ruling everything.
Don't you mean Sweet mountain angel baby?Is Blackish Mamba a relative of Mountain Mamba? They both are spot on in their game.
Probably not true. I saw it but decided not to post it.
If it sounds crazy it is.
Yep it's never gonna happen.
I was paying close attention to Bondi when she was asked about it and all she said was "It's on my desk right now" which is a NON ANSWER.
Oh hell yeah!I would be willing to bet the Jan 6 "pipe bomb" story will be investigated next. Bongino talked about that a bunch of times on his podcast.
Been there, done that. He is another Platnidumb with his meaningless posting of articles that are false and or disinformation. He/she/it is just another liar pushing an agenda. TDS is the watchword with him/her/whatever.Ah, so the new TROLL "Farmy" comes on here like a passive aggressive little beyotch, whines about everybody being a meanie head, calls everybody names, and then LAUGHS when he's called out for it.
Welcome to ignore, turd.
1000% this. We will NEVER know the extent of the blackmail info Epstein had on folks. The swamp is simply too powerful and too corrupt to let all info be known and, unfortunately, they are doing exactly what many of us expected they would do despite Trump’s desire/direction to release the info.Clearly some major problems with some names on that list.
Unfortunately a lot of that info has probably been shredded and burned and any digital machine to ever touch it has been dropped in the middle of an active volcano on some tiny Pacific island.They're not investigating sht. Time to send military lawyers and MPs in to collect the information. Tired of the fkery.
So your answer is keep spending and take more ppls money?That's the problem Bill. This administration and Pubs are adding to the debt.... Not bringing it down.
They are cutting taxes and still spending.
These DOGE cuts and other promises of cuts are smoke and mirrors and bandaids for a brain bleed.
The only real way to tackle our debt is thru some painful cuts AND some targeted taxes on those in the highest income brackets.
Thanks Obama.yall ever notice how everyone's first reaction is to be aggressive and a jerk about different opinions on here.
yall need to chill on being buttheads, the social media bots have conditioned you to just respond with anger to everything.
