You got played, Dude.

Stay in your bubble, dude. Immigration is a big problem and the public responded. Just because you don't agree doesn't mean the problem doesn't exist.

Trump’s plan to lower the costs of semiconductors is two pronged. One, we slap a big tax on all foreign chips. Two, we kill all subsidies to domestic chip producers contained in the CHIPS Act. Prices will be cut by 50%, possibly as soon as next week. Just like your car insurance and eggs!

do you stupid fucks have any idea or empathy for those who will be severally adversely affected by "pausing" all federal aid programs? Illegal immigrants walking your streets will be the least of your problems

[Mike]

Don't get played by the right wing propaganda, guys!

Yes. It's poorly thought out and executed. I don't think much will be determined to be legal, however. I also haven't seen anyone here cheerleading for it. They already walked it back to Monday.

More right wing propaganda! Don't believe their lies lest you get PLAYED.

RFK: "I was a heroin user for 14 years"

Ya look it, man. Jesus it's hard listening to and looking at this guy. How do people find him inspirational?

Correct! I always congratulate the arsonist for putting out the fire.

I have no idea. The only thing I find remotely pleasant about him is his wife.

1. If "Mericans" commit crimes they go to prison (well...before BLM and Soros anyway)
2. Illegal immigrants are by definition committing a crime...they should be deported and told to immigrate the proper way.
3. Illegal immigrants who have committed crimes should go to prison and face deportation.

Not sure what is so hard about this. CGVT and the Progs seem to have more disdain for "Mericans" than illegal immigrants.

Tell you what CGVT...go cross any other international border without the proper paperwork and see how far you get. Please. I'm begging you.

We are the only country in the world (of note) that allows this shit. Sorry, USED to allow it.

IDK, the biggest cost of running any business is personnel. You want to cut costs? Work force reduction will do that fast. The company doing that doesn't care if past employees can't make their car or mortgage payments. What is the size of the hole the federal government has dug itself into by spending trillions more than it takes in as revenue? Companies that do that sort of think quickly become insolvent. The US federal government is or should be insolvent. The difference between running the government and running a business is that the government can just sell more bonds and print more money to keep itself afloat. Businesses can't do that. Government shouldn't be able to do that either. Fiscal conservatives have been trying, unsuccessfully it appears, to stop the bleeding for a while.

I don't think anyone thinks deficit spending at the level that is being spent is just fine. But nevermind. Citizens have become numb to deficit spending. Congress, who is in charge of spending through budget authorizations, is out of control, having nothing to stop them from funding their favorite projects to win votes for re-election when that time comes.

The long term costs of doing that year in and year out is going to come home to roost. Trump's move, painful as it might seem to government employees who "resign," the plan saves the government about 3 Billion/year. That's a nice chunk of change applied to reduce spending and in turn, the federal deficit - something Trump promised to do. He's doing it.
