On Tuesday, February 25th, Republicans passed a budget resolution calling for $4.5 trillion in tax cuts and $2 trillion in spending reductions over the next decade.

Notice:

1. The "fiscally-minded" GOP doesn't care about the deficit or the debt, as they continue to push us farther into red ink.

2. Spending cuts are going to come from reductions in benefits and services to average citizens, so the elderly, sick and poor are going to suffer so that Musk and fellow billionaires can continue to enjoy low taxes.

3. Republicans are going to pretend like massive layoffs of federal workers is reaping so much in savings, but in reality, it's going to swell unemployment, damage the middle class, and in the end not result in any real savings.

The lies are obvious and in plain sight!

“I don’t know that a specific edict is going to come down from on high that they need to stop or anything, but a message I believe has been clearly sent that this narrative should end very soon,” the official said. “Probably the best way for that to happen is no more town halls. Elon Musk’s work still has the administration’s support, period.”
IOW, "Fuck your voters".

Oh, and BTW, #Dodgy #DOGE did indeed shitcan all of the technicians (14) who are working (through USFW under contract to states), to control invasive #SeaLampreys in the Great Lakes. The program costs $14million annually and protects a fishery worth over $7 billion/year and 75,000 jobs.
Sea lampreys made Lake Trout extinct in every lake aside from Lake Superior. This would have been a resource worth tens of billions if not for their introduction.

a couple of pathological liars claim that gov't doesn't have money to pay civil servants so they need to be fired by peeps with no authority, no expertise, and no experience in the field.

meanwhile these pathological liars claim that gov't has enough money to give $$$ Trillions to billionaire aristocrats.

The #DODGY #MAGA narrative is "government" workers are somehow inferior. The reality is, they are, in total, the most dedicated, educated, competent people in any field. They may or may not be the top "experts", but as per totality of skill and effectiveness, they are the top shelf. Especially at the highest levels.

Let me paraphrase Joe Rogan "Elon Musk is a super genius. Laws inhibit his ability to fix things. So laws must be ignored."

What on earth makes that moron think that Musk has my best interest at heart?

Rogan believes that Elon really cares about the people? Based on what?
