If President Musk really wanted to cut wasteful spending: -Universal healthcare saves $650B -Gun safety laws save $557B -Ending direct & indirect fossil fuel subsidies saves $650B -Funding the IRS saves $124B But he doesn’t. He just needed an excuse to hijack the government.

They could also stop incarcerating everyone they meet and they could house people instead of criminalizing them. HUGE savings.

Please explain how “gun safety laws” save $557 billion. Wish that was true but I’m calling shenanigans.

No no, he doesn’t want to save average American people money. That was never the goal. He wants to funnel money that would have been paid in taxes by rich people back into their pockets.. It’s like when a company buys out a store like toys r us to sell all its property to turn a quick buck.

And not deporting undocumented non-criminal immigrants saves 4.5-7.5+ of GDP loss due to lack of employees, loss of tax contributions, & social security contributions, and the cost of the deportation process. It will more importantly stop human beings from abuse, fear, and being dropped in Gitmo.

The reason Musk is wanting to “cut wasteful” spending is because if it’s not covering his and his friends’ tax breaks from 2017, it’s wasteful. He intends on using that money to pay for their lifestyles. He needs $4 TRILLION. Cutting Medicaid is getting him $2 Trillion. He’s stealing from the ppl! 😡

“Ending direct & indirect fossil fuel subsidies saves $650B”. That number does not represent government spending or savings from reform. It’s basically how much more in carbon & other taxes the IMF estimates U.S. CONSUMERS of fossil fuels should be paying in order to internalize externalities.

By 1933, Adolf Hitler was a well-known figure with widespread support. He did not seize power in Germany. Rather, a series of political and economic crises helped him rise to power legally. On January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany by German President Paul von Hindenburg.

What needs to be added to this and highlighted constantly is that Musk does what he does for his benefit and to the detriment of the residents of the country. There is a huge conflict between his interest and what is in the best interest of the American people. Musk is harming us.

Feds can add to Medicare or Gov's can use Medicaid waivers to give homecare to all in place of NH's. W 1,290,000 Americans in NHs it would save $160,000/ person/ yr over NH costs + $ for less meds & less hosp for infections & drug-ind illness or potentially $206 billion per yr
