| > Its not our Job to aid the world. Foreign aid is a huge money laundering scam by and large. We have major problems here on our own shores. Not that huge, not a scam either given America is so deeply hated on most of the world, America decided to fight and kill everyone who even thought about "communism" whatever that meant, USAID is its foreign marketing team. Seems like it doesn't want to market itself. that's fine, You also quoted medicare and snap there, I hope you're not one of those that think having well fed people and farmers is not part of a governments job. > Good. Maybe we can actually build some more nuclear plants instead of having to fight green energy bureaucracy. If you can't build a nuclear power plant safely, maybe you shouldn't build it at all. Also some firings were people who handle the nuclear weapons. > Circumstantial timing. The FAA has been having close calls before it was gutted. The government can do more with less. The plane crashes will stop when we return to meritocracy. It's so great that you mention doing more with less and a meritocracy in this instance given that, the washout rate for being an air traffic controller is incredibly high and there is a deficit of air traffic controllers. https://www.cnn.com/audio/podcasts/one-thing/episodes/8b310a... > The government can do more with less. Can it though? https://www.gq.com/story/no-irs-audits-for-the-rich > The cuts are depleting the staff members who help ensure that taxpayers pay what they owe. As of [2017], the IRS had 9,510 auditors. That’s down a third from 2010. The last time the IRS had fewer than 10,000 revenue agents was 1953, when the economy was a seventh of its current size. And the IRS is still shrinking. Almost a third of its remaining employees will be eligible to retire in the next year, and with morale plummeting, many of them will. > The plane crashes will stop when we return to meritocracy. Return to when? When was this true? |
Doesnt matter how huge, its a waste of money doing DEI programs in Burma.
>If you can't build a nuclear power plant safely
plenty of safe nuke plants running and they are building more for datacenters
>washout rate for being an air traffic controller is incredibly high
not really a problem of government spending unless you are saying they should pay more? not sure what youre getting at
>Can it though?
Yes it can I mean afterall we had no income tax during the industrial revolution
>Return to when? When was this true?
this was true when we hired people based on merit and not immutable characteristics.
