but how is this going to lower the cost of eggs???
It won’t. It will make them go up. The CDC has been forbidden to release any reports until they scrubbed of DEI and with bird flu raging, critical info is being held back that might slow or mitigate the impacts on poultry flocks. That is if we’re lucky and this stays contained to just birds.
This is just like 2017 when the CDC’s pandemic response unit was dismantled and all of the plans were thrown into the trash. In 2020 it became deadly obvious why it’s good for the country to spend money on things like that.
Just this short mention of the many projects and programs all worried about their free handouts shows how big of a waste in spending we actually have, and this is only the tip of the iceberg. If we all saw the full list of approved funding, even the leftest of the left might be concerned. Looks like congress has agreed to fund everything and everybody but you and me.
The rightest of the right would be worried if they wiped out the farm subsidies that farmers have come to rely on, especially in the ear of tariffs. I’m going to guess you’re just not aware of the government fund in that helps you. What seems like pork to us is a wise investment to someone else.
If you want to defund things, do it via Congress. Draw up a budget, clearly express what you want to get rid of, and do it that way.
“But Congress is the problem!”
No they’re not. They keep getting re-elected by us, the voters, at a record clip. We have the chance to change things every two years and we choose not to. We are easily fooled, myself included.
I remember the cuts in 2017 by our prescient leader. Remember when 45 made the first cuts, specifically the Pandemic preparedness funds were cut and that department was dismantled? No, well it was. It had deadly consequences in 2020.
The true purpose of these freezes is to transfer money from the 99% to the 1% by way of tax cuts. MAGAt’s are so brainwashed that they don’t understand that they are the PRIMARY beneficiary of many of these federally funded programs. In 2021, a QUARTER of this state’s funding came from the federal government. When will MAGAt’s stop drinking the Kool-Aid and stand up for themselves against the billionaire oligarchs ushered in with the Trump administration?
$36,221,726,999,288 total national debt. “That’s $106,137 for every single person in America.” Peter G. Peterson Foundation, National Debt Clock.
Yep and a good portion of the debt racked up under 45. Just when we have a chance to reign some of it in, by letting the windfall tax cuts for the top 1% kick back in here in 2025, the idiot in chief is falling all over himself to keep the kick back payments, sorry, I meant to say tax cuts, in place.
