How do we tackle our $40 trillion deficit? With my Six Penny Plan. We make even across-the-board cuts and eliminate six cents from every dollar the federal government spends. After five years, the budget would be balanced.
It can be done. Washington just has to have the willpower to do it.
“Locked out” and it’s just….admissions criteria selecting the best performing students…. 😂 😂 You’re telling on yourself.

These guys: Don't blame me for what my ancestors did during slavery and segregation, I had nothing to do with it!
Also these guys: My ancestors built this institution, so I deserve special privileges because of it!
The blatant self-serving double standard is so comical, lmao.
No. We should support a meritocracy but it is not good governance to require Americans whose forbears and tax money helped build these institutions to compete with the whole world for a place in them.
Absolutely not. This thinking is where the justifiable anger is coming from. America’s public universities do not belong to the whole world.

Wait, why are we supposed to be upset that some kids of Indian ethnicity were cheering the UT football team on Saturday? WTF?

If Washington really wanted to tackle affordability, it would rein in the reckless spending that drives inflation. My Six Penny Plan cuts six cents from every federal dollar spent, balancing the budget in five years and making life more affordable for everyone.
Now do incomes….
Literally everything is more expensive in blue states than in red states.
Everything.
What person in their right mind would trust Democrats if their goal is to bring down prices?
Obama promised us that with Obamacare we would save three thousand dollars a year. We're now spending thirty eight hundred dollars a year more than we were before!
This may come as shocking news to you, but Democrats lie.
We should increase property taxes on 65+ and cut SS in half.
My neighbor finished paying off her house in 2024.
She bought it in 1994 for $78,000. Thirty years of payments at $593 a month.
She's 74 now. Social Security pays her $1,910 a month. That's $22,920 a year.
The place two doors down sold for $615,000 last spring, so the county reassessed hers to match.
Her tax bill this year: $8,100. That's $675 a month.
She paid $593 a month to buy the house.
She pays $675 a month to keep it.
Thirty years of payments ended and the bill went up.
The deed says she owns it. The county bills her like she's renting.

The Right is now calling the illegal tariff revenue “profit”. Genuinely what the fuck are republicans good for if this is their economic outlook?
I own some stock. When the company makes a profit, I share in that profit by receiving a dividend check.
American citizens own stock in America. When it makes a profit from tariffs or the natural resources that belong to all of us, why shouldn't we share in that profit?
It took a businessman president to see things this way. It would never have occurred to a typical politician.

The U.S. government runs persistent deficits of $1.8-2.1 trillion annually with no net profits. Tariffs generate ~$195-300 billion yearly but act as taxes on U.S. importers and consumers; resource royalties total ~$14.6 billion and are already allocated.

1) tariffs are paid by Americans so this is merely redistribution of wealth
2) we can’t outbid Democratic socialists
3) we should have taken Vance more literally when he denigrated Milton Friedman and praised Huey Long
Baier: $5000 for every adult citizen, that's about $1.3 trillion. The critics will say the president is bribing voters and he's bankrupting the country.
Vance: Tariffs have generated a lot of revenues. The president is saying, if you keep us in power, then you will share in some of the benefit of this incredible wealth that we are creating
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The cost of sending $5000 to every adult US citizen is estimated at 1.3 trillion dollars. US tariff revenue was approximately 195 billion dollars in fiscal year 2025.

The claim that federal budget is so overrun with surplus cash that Washington can afford to spend $1.3 trillion on "rebates" is so detached from reality that I refuse to waste my time walking through the math.
If that makes sense to you, you are beyond help.
