We’re not even asking for that. Federal tax dollars pay for nothing. Their functions are to control inflation and behavior. We have the money to afford nationalized healthcare, and governments assistance programs are stabilizers for the economy. They generate more than they cost.

Right, and that opportunity cost is the real story. Every dollar steered to cronies is a clinic, a classroom, a bridge we chose not to build. Public money should serve the public, full stop. #ChangeTheNarrative
Corrupt transfer of millions to private companies is not just a loss of taxpayer dollars. It is an opportunity cost of all the useful things we should be doing with those dollars.

I can't tell if you're agreeing with me or arguing with me; but either way, I'm with you. Democrats need young, charismatic leaders front and center in their caucus. Time to move the tenured veterans to the back bench. They're still in the game, but they don't count.

To be fair, Mamdani's media presence is amazing. What makes it even better is that he delivers the results of his work himself, presenting it as "this is what I did for you." "We passed the largest climate change spending bill, the IRA Act" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Turns out a majority of Dem primary voters were smarter than the people outside MI telling them what they should do in the senate race. Win or lose on Tues, El-Sayed was the right choice. Whether you agree with him on everything or not, he isn’t a lying fraud pretending to be something he’s not.

So glad someone asked this question. And why did Kristi Noem overpay for five planes she bought with our taxpayer money from her friends during her last hour in office?
Q: If the administration has declared on waste and fraud, could you explain the $420 million overpayment for a prison in Appleton, MN, when they company offered it to the state for $75m?
BESSENT: I don't know anything about that. That's a waste of our time.

This one should anger everyone. $16 billion in public contracts flowing to one man who then bankrolls elections is corruption at full scale, and that money exists because we create it together for shared needs, not private empires. #ChangeTheNarrative
Elon Musk Made Off With $16 Billion of Taxpayer Money. He's also a federal contractors, and nearly all of his wealth comes straight from the federal treasury, which hasn't stopped him from making roughly $700 million in campaign contributions over the last three years. PS: it's illegal.

In theory, contractors are legally barred from political giving because that smacks of bribery. In practice, Musk gets a 2,200 percent return on his investment.
