Trump Approval Rating

I'll take this one for my conservative friends!

MSM source? ✅
Author with clear TDS? ✅
Part of witch hunt by dems against Trump? ✅

Then proceed to link 8 Twitter posts by alt right Russian bots as to why trumps approval rating is actually 99.99% favorable and the .01% dissenting are mentally ill.

Did I do that right for yall, Maga bois?

Trump is out over his skies on some things. He's also going so fast a lot is being missed. They should slow down a little and exude a more thoughtful approach to shrinking government. The broadsword approach will alienate some folks but if it all works they will come back. I don't think most people understand the relationship between our debt and the inflation we are experiencing. It's a lot of factors that go into the inflation problems but one of them is most assuredly government debt. And that is definitely a significant factor in why we have interest rates around 7%.

His plan is to go as fast as possible so there’s too much to handle all at once if you oppose it.

Also cutting programs and agencies to then have a tax budget that will add 4.5 trillion doesn’t make much sense. That won’t solve inflation.

He doesn't have a tax budget that will add $4.5T. The left loves to make those kinds of statements but they never pan out. Government is far too large. Cut it by 80% and then we can look into things.

80%? Do you understand what that would entail? The only way to eliminate 80% is completely eliminate Medicare and Social Security.

I’m not sure how you are denying the tax cuts the house has passed with his full support. There are republicans in the senate who are building a budget without those tax cuts so it’s not a “left” thing.

Cutting government by 80 percent? I’m not sure you understand what that even means. The government spent 6.75 trillion dollars in 2024. So you think our government and society can function on only 1.35 trillion.

Social Security was 1.4 trillion in 2024. DoD was 800 billion. Medicare was 900 billion. Medicaid was 600 billion.

So where is this 80% coming from?

Exactly. We do not have a revenue problem. We have a massive spending problem. There are two ways this gets solved and neither deals with more taxation. That is completely out of control as well.

I am talking about the people in the government. We can't hurt people by removing promised programs. I would never advocate such a thing.

Though imagine we'd gone with W. Bush"s plan to privatize SS. The money contributed would have nearly quadrupled by now. And presto, no more shortage problem. The story of SS is the greatest theft in history and a perfect example of why the government should be responsible for as little as possible. They are all thieves.

Ehhhh if Bush got what he wanted, SS solvency might not have survived the 2008 financial crisis. Also it empowers corporations over citizens to tie our retirement completely with shareholders value. It further incentives the federal government to subsidize companies over people and makes businesses dependent on our taxes. It's a bad road to go down. But corporations would just love all our tax money I'm sure.

Well the alternative has been for government to steal all the money. They've stolen it for generations and there's no reckoning for that.

The fact is the money would be worth vastly more and it would have been protected from the predations of government stealing it. I can't see the downside to that. Every other form of retirement is in the market and they are all better than SS. Why stick with the lowest performing means?
