“You can’t earn your way out of stupidity.” -Dave Ramsey

Unfortunately our government outspends revenue like MC Hammer.

So your answer is ignore the revenue side and reduce spending whenever criminals fail to pay legally owed taxes. Seems like you need to better understand the concept of revenue and taxation.

I did not say that. Don’t attempt to put your words in my mouth.

That being said, we do have a government spending problem that can’t be solved with additional tax revenue. Both parties are guilty of overspending. I support reducing the size and scope of our federal government.

From Trump's speech on Saturday..


What is he talking about? I searched for news about immigrants arriving from the Congo last week and found nothing.

Let me help you with that Google search.

You being so concerned about people coming from the Congo says more about you than anyone else.

We need to get the people who are a net drain on society (ie you) to start making money the real way by working and earning a living.. and actually contributing to society.

By failing to address the fact $150B in taxes which go unpaid as a contributing factor to the ongoing deficit you are just being ignorant, or deliberately obtuse.

$150B isn’t even putting a dent in the budget deficit, which was approximately $2T in 2023. Choosing to ignore that massive difference in numbers makes you deliberately & utterly retarded.

That article is from last year. Trump said many immigrants from Congo arrived in the US on Friday of last week. Trump may have confused last week with last year.

The article was from late December. Just a hunch, but Trump likely knows more than you do about immigration.

The maggots in a pile of cow manure know more about immigration than he does.
