Yes everybody knows most federal workers are left and are part of the civil service unions

Not where I worked… I would say 60% conservative or conservative lean. Don’t know of anyone that I worked with for 25+ years who was in a union.

You are right only 25% of Fed govt employees are unionized. Should make it super duper easy for DODGE then.

I just read that 42, 000 Social Security benefits workers are represented by a union.

While a fall out is very much possible between Musk and Trump, they’d likely laugh their butts off internally at this. The fall out is more likely because both have egos bigger than planet Earth and it’ll be a surprise if it doesn’t come to a head.

I do think there’s a better chance than many want to think that Elon’s finally bit off more than he can chew and really the only way I think I’m wrong here is if the Supreme Court tosses the Impoundment Act. If that doesn’t occur then I cannot see anything being accomplished involving cutting spending and really, in this hypothetical world, it’ll be a royal pain in the butt to get much done at all in reconciliation.

If 240+ seats had occurred with more senate seats, then maybe you’re looking at it being more likely that serious spending cuts happen.

It’s not race baiting , why does it bother you when a racist is called out?

Problem is the many on the left have diluted the word down to means something the left doesn't agree with...same with fascist, misogynist, etc.

The excess spending will never end

Our politicians on the state and federal level run on reduction of govt spending and then deliver bigger government. Americans are begining to keep the receiepts and don't want this anymore. I hope its not too late.

There is only one area they can really cut and that would hurt many of us. Thankfully Congress knows this.

What do you want to see cut back or cut out?

The rich do not need any help. Congress is doing just fine with this new plan.

both

The whole reason Musk is the person heading a department to cut goverment spending, is because he doesn't need or want you to like him. He's not running for reelection or asking for support from constituents. He doesn't care what you think and that's exactly the type of person for that job. Appeasing people like we have done the past four years does nothing but pile on more problems. Goverment workers have been babied for too long.

 

[JHS]

both

I meant what specific items, for example Social Security.

The new spending bill allows spending on vaccine mandates, vaccine passports, spending on expansion of government powers and spending on gain of function research. All this type of crap needs to go. Thought we learned our lessons but I guess not.
