ya'll are literally being gaslit, lol

Imagine if you made $100k/year and had $140k in debt. Both you and your spouse decide to start paying down your debt and you come in bragging that you saved a few dollars. She would literally laugh in your face and rightfully so.

It would literally be a waste of both you and her time to scour your finances for a dollar here and a dollar there.

You need to look at your highest expenses and go from there.
Are you telling us that you must pay off the 140K all in one big bite? No, so you reduce the debt gradually. I would work on the debt that is costing me the highest interest rate first, whether highest or lowest.
 
In all seriousness, don’t we give contractors security clearances for federal work quite often?

You are making an incredibly weak argument. You need to accept that what’s happening is a great thing for all of us. We have leadership who is putting us and our children FIRST.
We do but that’s an entirely different situation and you know it. No need to be disingenuous
 
Dude got into Harvard with a sub 1300 SAT score...

Pride of the Ivy League AND the D party.
Hey now, who needs a good score when your dad is an FBI agent and the DNC chose you to propel yourself and a gun control agenda off the backs of dead classmates you weren’t even friends with.

Think about how truly awful this POS is.
 
Here's a good ponder point for the leftists here.

If USAID is .7% of the federal budget, and it's a drop in the bucket, and no big deal, won't help the budget, etc?

Why are you idiots acting like the Apocalypse is upon us?

I'm really looking forward to when they start in with the real funding, how maniacal you Village Idiots will respond.

Going to be Glorious!
 
I’m still waiting on you to explain this joke to me. You keep bringing it up.

Because every poster here knows you're PLATNMDRGN sock account? 🙄

And he got banned, so now you post as Sammysdad. Even though there was overlap. You got caught code switching multiple times, forgetting which account you were signed into, answering posts for the other one. 🤣
 
Oh, I forgot to tell you. NO WRITE OFFs. Sorry churches - which I go to - donations should not be tax deductible.

Do you give more than the standard deduction?

I guess I go to church with a bunch of poors.

Outside of a bequeath from an estate, our biggest givers donate about half of that.
 
Irrelevant, and considering I was brought up by a single mother living on one income plus inconsistent child support, I know full well what it takes to "live within your means".

.....and considering you ignored the question before tells me all I need to know there, Bernie. #sharethewealth
Considering how different life was 40+ years ago, I wish you were a little more understanding of the plight of the lower class now.
Really? Are you attempting to wrestle the "stupidest poster on this forum award" away from Sambo this year? I guess that because I have stopped feeding him so I don't get any of his nauseating lunacy any longer.
Hey, aren't you the poster that went to St. X and owns a family business. First of all congrats, but no offense, what do you know about the bottom class? All I am advocating for are safety nets. You guys are demonizing ideas on how to help these folks.
“Your” ideas would just make them poorer.
The only thing I have suggested is taxing unrealized gains when said gains are used in loans. How is that going to affect anyone but the hyper rich?
Grew up very poor and by some people's standards I might still be considered "poor."
And more than anything, Poor habits make people poor.

Grow up. Wealth is not a zero-sum game.
You don’t need a lot of money for my lifestyle. I find joy in a lot of things that are free. The people that I want to see get the most help are the ones so stressed they are unsure how they will make ends meet. There’s a reason the bottom 50% in this country live about 8-12 years less than those that have.

The feigned perch of righteousness has wheels, height adjustment, caveats and double-standards.

We're losing pennies/pound in avocados but saving that money won't help pay your debt down. Get it?

Keep your head on a swivel. They like to pivot.
 
I am opposed to a U.S. sovereign wealth fund. The federal government’s returns should come through tax policy and a healthy economy, not investments in companies.
Glad to see someone else post this. There is a reason why the government was designed to be separate from the private sector. The way they talk about this wealth fund screams UBI and government slush fund. We are getting rid of this kind of thing, not trying to make new ones.

To everyone saying Trump wouldn't do that; well, it isn't Trump that concerns me. Elon and his buddies aren't doing all this work for free. They have motivations that I can only speculate about right now.

Plus, Trump isn't going to be president forever. Eventually the dems will have control of the fund.

Yes, my wife works for a contractor and has a secret security clearance.

Diversity is pretty cool as long as one side goes along with breaking immigration law, I suppose. Co-exist, or else.

Yet some wonder why we want them gone. Don't wait until they start killing more Americans. Remove all of those there who are obstructing this woman's freedom of movement.

Country is gonna need to borrow a lot more $$$ if Trump trashes the economy with stupid tariffs.
 
Trump didn't get Jack Sh** done. It's all BS smoke and mirrors.
Mexico already had a deal with Biden to do the exact same thing without the threat of tariffs.
Canada already planned on their border strengthening while Biden was still President.
What a damn joke.
Look at the dates on these previous deals. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Trump the Chump!! MAGA morons believe anything on X.

"According to White House press secretary Jen Psaki, Mexico will maintain a deployment of about 10,000 troops, while Guatemala has surged 1,500 police and military personnel to its southern border and Honduras deployed 7,000 police and military to its border...."

"The Government of Canada will increase support to law enforcement agencies in detecting, intercepting and addressing fentanyl and precursor chemicals by adding artificial intelligence and imaging tools that will further help detect illegal drugs before they enter Canada."

Have you ever been to a Costco or Sam's club between the 1st and tenth of the month?

I can assure you, poor people are better off now. Maybe not health wise, based on what I see in those overstuffed carts. Which also explains their lower lifespan, if that fact is even accurate.

Rfk would have stroke seeing what I see in those shopping carts, and the cows pushing them usually weigh over 300 pounds each.

And we're all paying for it.

DOGE

Article from Mexico is from 2021. Did it ever happen? Just curious.

no you'd do it over time but small amounts are not going to do anything. If I owed 140k me cutting a few pennies or dollars isn't going to anything at all. It's just a waste of resources.

Yeah, that's the Dave Ramsey method and even he would say it's a waste of resources to focus on a few dollars when you can focus on cutting bigger expenses. Like say you had 1000 $2 expenses for a total of $2,000 in debt, versus a handful of $500 dollar debts for $2,500. The latter is 25% more money erased through 200x less work. That's efficiency.

Some things shouldn't be cut though, like USAID. The amount of soft power that org gives us for only a 40b/year investment. With us gutting that, China can just swoop in and get that soft power we just had.

I mean do you see what's going on atm. Employees are blocked from going into the USAID building. They received emails saying to not come to work. Musk and a bunch of 19 to 24 year old's are doing who knows what and we're letting them get away with it.

I've tried and tried, and as a person with an IQ over 100, I can't for the life of me understand what these idiot leftists thought process is.

It's like an inmate with a 75 IQ telling his attorney he don't know nuffin! And, By God, He KNOWS the law. 🤣
 

Oh, you mean that last ditch effort the month prior to the election when they were desperate to change the optics amd realities of the prior 3.9 years, where it was a free-for-all?

Village Idiot.
