Wow that is sure community building. I use USCCA for insurance and instruction. I canāt even respond to this but I do rely on SS and paid into it 130K which was matched by my employers 130K. This will go away for me if Trump does anything else but support it. Registered NPA.

Welcome to the fold Nancy and Lawrence
You are right where youāre suppose to be.
Nancy please fear not! President Donald John Trump is a PATRIOT!
He is dismantling the DEEP STATE and itās entities.
He is NOT going to take food out of poor peoples mouths or
take our Social Security away. Some of us DEPEND on that Check we paid into the system all our working lives. WE EARNED IT AND HE KNOWS IT.
If anything the checks will be larger! Once you cut of the Fraud, Waste and Abuse,
stop paying out checks to (9 month olds) and 150 year olds there will be plenty left over to be redistributed to the masses. The Checks are NOT a living dollar amount and our .gov knows this also. the āCOLAā is a joke! Especially under āHe who will not be namedā OVER SPENDING AND THEFT! Once the Millionaires in Congress and the Senate are dealt with (Nobody can amass $67 MILLION dollars āElizabeth Warren for example on a $300,000 salary) Trump/Musk will redistribute all that was stolen from us. And it wonāt be $5,000. The Deep State has been stealing from us for decades.
Rest Easy the Good Guys will prevail.

Trump is nothing more than the front man for Project 2025. When he signs Executive Orders the guy that hands them to him to sign explains the order! Much of what Elon Musk has supposedly found is total BS. The top 5 things he found have been debunked so they were taken down. The first claimed $8b. Reality it was $8m! It was corrected and taken down. The next 3 were $654m. Turns out they were the exact same charge (not paid 3xās) for the same thing. Again it was corrected and taken down. The 5th was a program that was discontinued during George W. Bushās term. This was corrected and taken down. Musk does not understand how the computer system is set up. Rather than learning he goes in and starts slashing things without even knowing what he is really cutting. Is there waste? Canāt imagine there isnāt some.
As a law abiding citizen I am absolutely against any violence such as destruction of personal or corporate property. You want to protest I say go ahead. Attempt to vandalize or destroy property then you face the courts. Hopefully the courts judge that person as committing a crime as well as render decisions for damages not only actual damage but 3xās for the damage caused!
The fact is in a budget that allows pork projects to be added you will always get a bloated budget. Pork Projects are simply items added to appease a Congressmanās desire for his district to get his vote. For example there was a bridge project added for Alaska added to a bill that had nothing to do with infrastructure. We also have to have Congress stop bickering about things that have nothing to do with the Debt/Budget and get to work solving this problem. After a budget is put together everyone has to get together and prioritize the line items then cut what we canāt afford. Keep in mind much of the funds going to schools are to help research diseases such as child cancer with the hopes of inking a cure.
The other side is income. This comes in the way of taxes. The top 5% pay a āBASEā of 21% which is ridiculous. These are the people who have the money to avail themselves of tax breaks that the rest of us cannot afford! Many of these people and corporations are paying less than 10%! Some none!!! Top economists agree that the old 34% was too high. They also agree 21% is to low. The common consensus is 28%.
I can easily address every one of your talking points. But I love the Critical Race Theory argument. Please name one school where this is taught? You canāt because it is not! Can we limit some of the costs of education and still accomplish educating our children. Absolutely! Some schools are teaching the basics as you say except they are doing it in many languages. Iām not talking about 3 or 4 but many times that. By stopping this the immigration problem can be helped as well. Back in the 1980ās my family helped to immigrate relatives to this country. Not only did they have to prove they had the ability to support themselves and get employment but my family had to agree to be financially responsible for them!!!
Regarding immigration President Trump just announce āThe Trump Gold Cardā. For $5m someone from out of the country can purchase the right to get inline for citizenship! US Citizenship is now for sale!!!
So to MAGA how are the tariffs working for you? Consumer confidence just hit the 2nd lowest point in 52 years! You arenāt the answer. Not even close. The Progressives are not the answer either. Only middle America, those that go to work every day and collect a pay check or own a small business can solve the debt problem. We do that by voting for people who are serious about the debt. Trump has said he doesnāt want a debt ceiling. In his last term the debt went up over $8 TRILLION!
WE THE PEOPLE THROUGH OUR VOTE ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO CAN SAVE OUR COUNTRY!

President Trump has, numerous times, denounced and distanced himself from Project 2025. What else do you expect him to do? Further, only the ultra-extreme lefties are still trying to make this a talking point.
No idea what insult youāre attempting to make here, but youāve failed horribly. The gentleman is Will Scharf, and his position is Staff Secretary. It is literally his job to manage the information & paperwork presented to and by the President. Every administration has had one, including Biden who had three during the course of his administration. You rarely saw Bidenās because Biden did little himself and nearly everything done during his administration was behind closed doors. In fact, there is sufficient evidence to question how many of Bidenās signatures are even legitimate. Ever hear of an autopen?
DOGE has made some errors. They, however, have corrected them and will continue to do so should errors be made in the future. Unlike prior administrations, they are not only actively trying to cut waste, fraud and abuse, they are doing so in a way that is more transparent than has ever been done. This isnāt something that anyone should be against.
Good on you. If this is truly how you feel, and I have no reason to believe that it is not, you represent what is a shrinking portion of the left. Congratulations, I suppose.
No. It is clear that you have never been in charge of any meaningful budget planning or implementation. You do not knowingly include waste, fraud, abuse, meaningless, unnecessary or garbage spending in a budget plan or actual budget. You do include expected expenses and allow for some discretionary spending as well as an allowance for unexpected or emergency expenses.
Have you ever earned a meaningful income from a poor or low to moderate income person? No, you havenāt. The wealthiest own and/or run businesses that employ hundreds to thousands. They create jobs. They invest in companies who employ millions. The money they spend employs millions.
I could keep going, but āfrom each according to his ability, to each according to his needā is seemingly how you feel things should be. Any idea whose ideology that is?
One school, is that all? Amateur ask. How about the entirety of the California Department of Education.
Yes, itās a brilliant idea. Earn money from individuals of the world with the means and desire for U.S. citizenship with what is essentially a no-cost asset that didnāt even exist prior to President Trumpās idea. You shouldnāt be so jealous, itās unbecoming.
Great! International trade is long overdue for a reset. The U.S. has been taken advantage of for far too long. Other nations charge us tariffs, add additional taxes/fees (VAT for example) and take other steps to make our products and services unaffordable, of poor value to cost or otherwise cost-prohibitive to even do business.
As an added bonus, the cheap Chinese garbage will now be more easily identifiable by their increased cost.
You got that right, though more accurately this should read: āThe democrats are not the answerā
Thanks for playing, have a great day!
