Economics 101 - Not Politics

[Bigkahuna57]

@Skier59, et al,
With regard to your comment about governement civil servants being concerned for their jobs is absolutely true. They should be very concerned, because arguably 70% are unecessary, or redundant and they generate a multiplier effect and inflate the annual federal budget. The falicy of a minimum standard to qualify for working in the federal government as "the best and brightest" will be on full display very soon and be a key contributor to reduce the federal deficit. Economics 101 - interest payments are a burden on any economy. Who doesn't understand that credit card debt is a burden on a family budget? Full disclosure of the shear volume of excess spending and waste will finally reveal the true amount of wasteful federal spending to the American public. The existance of these unecessary bureaucarcies cloud the vision of what's important. Less waste and more focus on funding/solving the medical issues of mankind would be a big step in the right direction. IMO.

Here are some examples - and it only took 1 hour to find them. Unfortunately, these are examples of what has already happened and the funding spent.  The purpose for these Economics 101 examples are to illustrate the real goals. The goal is to prevent them from reoccuring or generating similar acts of stupidity. If the voting public only knew what was being spent, they wouldn't vote for those that are proposing to spend it.

The level of waste based on the useless need for what each agency actually produces is astounding. I'll fiinish with the comment that the cost of the Bureau of Labor Statistics can be eleminated with a room full of Master Degree Mathamatics interns, instead of funding this agency for $750M.  The BLS is responsible for calculating the CPI from which the annual Social Security COLA is based. No one believes that the inflation index was only 3.4% in 2023 or 2.6% in 2024. And to further embarras these "official" statistics, the core CPI calculation does not include the cost(s) of food or energy. Yet consumers still must pay for both.. Again Economics 101.

The amount of "low-hanging fruit throughout the orchard of the US federal government budget will take many years to complete. And it won't be difficult to find. 

Thank you for bringing up the issue and offering the opportunity to point out the possibilities of a brighter future with less debt, based on excessive federal wasteful spending. Which may also contribute to greater funding availability for our fight to beat cancer with TLT.

You're right BK and I think too many of his ski runs end up with him going headfirst into a tree. He also brought up the cabinet qualifications but A. it's the game they play to criticize every single appointment and B. it doesn't take much to look up the qualifications of the Biden cabinet - which no one here talked about for 4 years. I think most people on both sides would like to

Where do the TRILLION$ in tRump (and Bush) tax giveaways (that studies have shown did not 'trickle down' in any way) figure into your efficiencies? Your logical and sincere statement of economic facts is a thinly-veiled pitch to hand over complete control of every aspect of society to billionaires and wealthy corporations. For-profit healthcare has repeatedly been found to offer lower

hogwash the deush, totally hogwash! Govenment handouts have proven to be a means to create dependants on those handouts, we have so many examples of that here in Canada with ruling Libs. Plus the FDA needs to be HUGELY shaken up, to get bigPharma influences out. Can't wait, have my popcorn ready to watch the show post Jan.20...

This will be my last comment on this because you need an education. The Pentagon just failed their 7th straight audit! They can't account for all of their $824 billion budget and that's ONE department. So listen to your left wing 'commentators' who try to diminsh anyone trying to do the right thing all you want but there was a commission in the 80's looking at this and while it

@thadeush et al, Just b/c you make an inflamitory statement that fits your argument doesn't mean it's the whole truth. Trying to make an argument requires all of the details otherwise it's just not. You're statement is far from the entire truth as I, my entire family and a huge % of America enjoyed the benefits of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Might I add, they were very

Maybe you guys should contact members of congress mention the health care savings they could accomplish with tlt tech

I forgot don't bite the hand that feeds you

[gojotv!]

Whole truth? You very pointedly excluded the tax cut rate for less wealthy Americans... Hmmm. I smell that familiat odour of Trumpie disinformation... https://www.policygenius.com/taxes/who-benefited-most-from-the-tax-cuts-and-jobs-act/
