The waste fraud and abuse are coming from inside the house.

“The American people will no longer tolerate the blatant waste, fraud and abuse of their hard-earned tax dollars — no state should allow it either,”

Excuse me? If anything, the 2024 election made it crystal clear that the American people will, in fact, tolerate the blatant waste, fraud, and abuse of our hard-earned tax dollars. 77 million people actually voted for it.

Trump and the Republicans want to kill poor people.

Waste and fraud… If only someone hadn’t started a war with Iran and then paid them $300B three months later to end it, gaining precisely nothing…

How do empires die?

Gradually then suddenly.

The US is in the latter stage.

This stunt actually has nothing to do with "fraud" in government spending, but as someone with experience in government procurement, contracting is where the waste is. The government actually doesn't do too badly when we keep the work in-house. It's these multimillion dollar contracts to some private company that are where the waste, fraud, and abuse are. Go fucking audit SpaceX. Revisit those contracts. Bet we can save billions every year on just one companies stupid fucking defense contracts. Then go after the rest of these contractors. Threaten to bring the work back in house and see how they react. Follow through and actually bring the work back in house, build the public sector engineering and manufacturing expertise, and see where we are.

They want you so desperate to cling to employment that you will no longer care about working conditions or fair wages or be willing to endanger said employment by being politically active.

What he wants:

• desperate people who work for scraps
• riots, so he can call in the military and call off the election

What he (hopefully) gets:

• a revolution

Seriously, why aren't billionaire villas burning? Why is Mar-a-Lagos still standing? I'm surprised how much the American people are willing to endure.

It’s like they are testing limits. They keep doing crazier shit week after week then say well no one is doing anything about it so let’s keep going.

This is next distraction away from his complete failure in Iran and his green, moldy swimming pool. He's giving $300 billion to Iran in his total surrender, what's the total amount of assistance to be withheld in funding here?

"Lets do something fast and stupid so they stop talking about me starting and losing a war."

president’s nationwide campaign against “fraud” in government spending.

Projection much, huh?

Good do it. Let the states that still have a sense of sanity group up and implement a multistate unemployment assistance strategy. Seriously, perhaps its time blue states encourage the disempowerment of the federal government and transfer those programs to mutually aligned state initiatives. Leave out all the welfare red states and redirect that transfer of wealth from blue states to red states, back to their own ppl. Americas system of statehood and states rights is something dems should probably start proposing making more use of. If feds under Trump don't want social programs then build multistate programs that serve that function, leaving out the Maga central states altogether.

the "fraud" starts and ends at the oval office. investigate that s.o.b. first.

Have to imagine this will disproportionately hurt red states and then they'll blame it on Obama or Biden or something. Really hoping some state will withhold federal taxes but I know our leaders are too spineless for that :[

pls no, this would make the crime rate skyrocket

He's gotta do something to pay Iran 300b.

Are we at the beheading part of history yet?

The new distraction from the Epstein files is here!

I don’t know why this is a surprise to anyone. Trump is famous for not paying contractors and workers. He waits it out until they sue and his expensive lawyers beep the plaintiffs dry or settle for some fraction of the contract price.

So Trump is tanking the economy and burning through cash so bad he has to take money from people without jobs.

Jokes on them, it's basically impossible to get unemployment here to start with.

Check me if I’m wrong but the only thing he can cut is the administration funding. The actual benefits are funded by a type of insurance companies pay into. Trump can’t take that away.
All this will do is make processing claims a bitch.

He’s such a dick.

WTAF? We all pay into this shit.

An actual traitor president and it looks like we're just gonna ride it out with our fingers crossed.
