" The #debt is growing because the country keeps #Borrowing to finance an increasingly large gap between #GovernmentSpending and #Revenue. (..) What’s the Solution? "

🤔 Judging by their actions, the solution of the #Trump - #Junta is to slash revenue drastically while raising expenditure to unprecedented levels.

(While their other "solution" is to declare bancruptcy [#MarAlLagoAccord] - because the daddy of the United States will of course bail the country out as he always did in the past. 🙄)

The #Trump White House & #Musk did not return multiple requests for comment.

In a statement to NPR on Monday, a #State Dept spox said the $400M figure was "an estimate," pointing out that it was in the early stages & was not yet a full contract, but rather a proposal "strictly to gather information."

The dept spox added: "the Department of State has no intention to move forward with the solicitation." [wink wink]

Here are some videos documenting Hele-On Bus Stops. ( Kailua-Kona, Ocean View ).

These stops provide no shelter from the Sun or rain, and no place for passengers to sit.

Also, government employees are required to burn a minimum amount of gasoline to keep gasoline consumption and prices high.

If American people could make the national budget together, hands-on, without conniving politicians to distract us and siphon money, would we still choose to send money abroad? To play goody two shoes? When we are not all fed, housed, educated? When healthcare is too expensive?

Charity begins at home. Sending aid abroad is a view held by the privileged class, who have no idea what hunger and poverty in America is like. They just like the glow of largesse and magnanimity from giving away "Other People's Money" ( to quote Margaret Thatcher *cringe* ) while ignoring homeless people here in America.

No. You want the slick bullshit of "foreign" people, acting all happy for the camera.

Warms your heart, makes you feel all superior, like YOU had anything to do with it.
Hey, it's the American people's money.
You are either astro-turfing for some party that siphons USAID money, or belong to a privileged class.

I am homeless. How about some aid for me?

I am a former Democrat voter, who was made homeless by the Biden administration in 2023, as a VA programmer with Federal clearance, who turned whistle-blower and called out egregious government waste.

This is my first-hand experience, not some slick commercial I saw in the media.

Your ad is pure propaganda! Like Musk, or hate him, he is right on this one.
