Ernst points out the Marines audits have been correct for 2 years. Hegseth says time for the whole DOD, which has failed several audits in a row. That is going to be some work.
One person could do it, dipshit.
Guess that's beyond your level of comprehension though, someone actually being competent.

so sad. bless her heart

If you don’t even have a baseline understanding of the arguments against district courts issuing nationwide injunctions on federal government actions, and the recent discussions at SCOTUS, I’m not going to teach you.

Republicans Aim To Send Ranked-Choice Voting Into Extinction
Republican legislators have introduced measures aimed at prohibiting ranked-choice voting in numerous states across the country.

Federal elections should be standardized. That’s just common sense.Republicans Aim To Send Ranked-Choice Voting Into Extinction

Been there and done did that, damn near poked my eye out with an arrow, and got bow string burns all across my forehead! Got a plan for the next time....
Monopolies are a massive issue right now, not just in the US but in the whole world. 10-12 companies own everything consumer goods related, and three investment groups own them. You can find the pretty graphs that outline who owns what via google search. I'm honestly now sure that is fixable barring a worldwide economic collapse.Actually, I’m well aware of how diversified their portfolios are. It could be paranoia, but I think my concerns are just. For starters, future monopolies will be easier to create with this consolidation of wealth, especially since the courts haven’t had the teeth to bust them in recent time.
Something affecting the middle class now is housing. Starter homes are going for 200k plus in Stanford and Lancaster. There’s an LLC based out of Toronto that owns 70k starter homes in the US.
Middle class was responsible for 62% of income (which I realize is different that assets) in 1970. Upper class was 29%.
Middle class now is 43% and upper class is 48%. Is the upper 10% just that much more productive now?
Middle class used to have twice the wealth as the 1% thirty years ago. Now the top 1% own more than all of middle class combined.
So I appreciate anyone that can answer this, but why are republicans not concerned about the trend? Why can’t democrats and republicans work together to strengthen our middle class again? Is DOGE alone enough to balance this out? What else would you guys recommend?
The top 1% of American earners now own more wealth than the entire middle class

As far as the middle class goes, that died when the manufacturing base was outsourced. That will likely never recover. In fact AI will probably be the killshot for the middle class. After that it is UBI all the way to the end.
Sorry to be a downer but history pretty much shows how this ends.
When in history did a country export its manufacturing base and develop AI?
I'm going to go 85% Democrats and 15% RINOS.
Absolutely. They don't care as long as daddy govt pays the bills

I'm not a Republican, but that's nonsensical "reasoning." The middle class did not have "twice" the wealth thirty years ago: they were significantly poorer.
Everyone was.
You cannot tax wealth to prosperity. Don't tell me you find "reasoning" like the above as raising interesting points.
If you asked me to show a video of the average female voter talking politics, this would be in my top five.
Twice the wealth in proportion to the top 1% 30 years ago. This is all proportional and you can do the same with salaries, prices of houses, price of college, etc. The middle class income equivalent now used to be able to afford a lot more things prior to the 90’s. I just wish we would work together to fix this.
I honestly didn't have a clue.
I knew about the toppling govts and influencing elections, the stirring up of strife and disenfranchisement, and the propping up of media/propaganda all over, but had no clue about the freak show side of things.
I hope the truth about how Fb and the other social media companies got started is in there as well, so that charade can be over. You don't just come up with a Fb social network sized set of servers and everything else that comes with it without a HUGE boost from govt. If you have a revenue source, sure, but none of those did from their inception.
Another fkn idiot. You voted for it when you joined the players association dipsht! Where do they dig up these clams? How the fk do you not know that? C.B.A. moeRon
No, I understood what you meant. You still don't understand that it's nonsense.
They could afford a lot less in and prior to the 90s. We should not work together. You will make us poorer.
Trumps not hurt by the delay in the buyouts. These people have already resigned to get the buyout. Their desks are cleared out and they're access is gone.
The judge doing this did this to hurt the people accepting the buyout. Trump isn't going to be hurt, but I'm sure he's not happy these people have to wait to receive their money.
That's why they can take as long as 18min to check out just one person. Card after card after card...
Whether it was USAID or others, it's definitely coming
"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly gifted US President Donald Trump with a golden pager and a regular one, a reference to the clandestine operation that decimated the Hezbollah terror group.
“That was a great operation,” Trump responded, according to Channel 12 news.
In return, Trump gave Netanyahu a photo of the two of them from the visit, with the dedication “To Bibi, a great leader.”
In September, thousands of pagers used by Hezbollah operatives across Lebanon suddenly exploded, killing and injuring dozens. A day later, hundreds of walkie-talkies also blew up, killing and injuring scores more."
Another RETURN TO COMMON SENSE moment!
guys are so gullible. Doesn't he realize that grabbing his junk was their objective all along? The gals are famous so he just lets you.
No no no. Rank choice is a great idea.
Signed Dion.
A large middle class wasn't a thing until the industrial revolution. Until then our society much more closely resembled Rome. Now those jobs are gone and they are not coming back in any significant number. AI will just eat up more current middle class jobs.
Rome is the closest thing in history to our republic. Rome didn't have a middle class per se. Lawyers, merchants, philosophers, doctors, etc., were considered equites (middle class). The reason they had a tiny middle class is because all the wealth (money and land) was concentrated in the hands of a few (Senators and landowners). They also imported slaves to do the jobs that would have been paid middle class wages, teachers, artisans, factory labor etc..
The only time Rome had "government workers" was when Augustus expanded government which caused the closest thing Rome had to office jobs. That expanded the equate class a bit.
AI can be equated to slave labor in that it works for free and takes away middle class paying jobs like office jobs. Rome didn't outsource their factories they just used slaves for free labor. The Roman plebs couldn't find work so they had to depend upon the rich for handouts. Bread and Circuses.
Will things go exactly like they did in Rome? No, probably not. Could it look very similar? Yes, it can.
Jesus wouldn’t talk to you. He is ashamed that you have embarrassed him.
Actually it could give a few thousand deadbeats the opportunity to take it. Govt employees are lazy and slow so this helps the perpetually late.
You must be Muslim cause you sure don't know Jesus.
USAID food programs say hi.

Why do you hope Trump fails? Wouldn't a failed Trump presidency be bad for the country and for you? I don't have a crystal ball so I can't predict how all these things will turn out. But openly cheering for Trump, who you presumably voted for, to fail is just insane.
Sometimes you make a lot of sense. Other times, your hatred of Trump overwhelms your good sense. Just my $0.02. You do you.
This is the easiest win of all time bc democrats are that insane and pander to their lunatic base. Literally everyone agrees dudes shouldn't play womens sports except ppl like Sam who will do what he's told
I guess I don’t understand what is nonsense and I am trying to discern it.
Was the middle class always a mirage? You can look at spending power and inflation calculators and clearly salaries stretched farther 30-60 years ago. There’s obviously some things that have gotten cheaper, like technology, but everything else has stayed pretty similar
Jesus is a cool dude. I don’t think there’s any walk of life he wouldn’t stop and connect with.
People were not wealthier in the 70s or 90s than they are now, and it's not even close. It was not easier for middle class average Joe in the 1970s to have a family, live a good life and the American dream, then than it is now.
It's amazing to me that a chart or some tldr youtube video can convince you of that. It's absurd. I don't think you are actually trying to discern why. You believe the rich are rich because they are hoarding it from you, the poor, or the middle class; that the middle class would have life easier if you could just take from them and redistribute to everyone else. It's nonsense. The opposite would happen.
