    Your dude wants to literally abolish the Department of Education, and your contribution is calling us fat.

    Say one thing about the right, they sure know their electorate.

      The department of education is mostly just a pass through agency. Standards are set by the states. It doesn’t take 4000 employees to divy up funding.

        Default respond to any cost saving by the left is “nooooo”. This makes them highly irresponsible. Glad they are not in charge anymore in the US.

        Now change the EU. We’re still f#cked.

          The budget Deficit has increased under Republicans and decreased under Democrats consistently for decades.

          How you can still think Republicans save you money is beyond insane. No child left behind really did a number on the populace.

              Is like to point out that most of Obama’s increase in budget was pushed through under Bush (because budgets are passed the prior year). And he brought it down from that starting point over his two terms. Trump immediately jacked it back up from what he inherited, and Biden decreased it again.

                You can make excuses for every president it’s always the guy before them, but the numbers don’t show a decline in deficit for Democrat presidents.

                  Oh yeah, the party of fiscal responsibility who is now trying to pass a progressive 4,5 billions tax cut for the wealthiest part of society. Who knows when these missing funds for the government will show up in its administrative books???

                  You must be so wise in the way of the finances, please (not) teach us master

                    You should probably go back and check your facts. I don’t see anything about a proposed 4.5 billion progressive tax cut.

            On both side they’ve failed horribly. I am not a republican, not even American. The main thing I like about DT’s presidency is DOGE. That is a huge game changer. Love everything about it. 👍

            First time in years that I think common sense is coming back in the world. 🤷‍♂️

              Not a single iota of common sense exists in this administration. They’re all crooks and conmen. It’s astonishing a noncitizen has fallen for such an obvious grift while not being the target of their propoganda. That takes an extra special kind of gullible

          “the left” has no default response to any costs saving.

          “Noooooooo” as a reply comes only when a destruction of the modern state is acted masking it as “cost saving”.

          It’s like a doctor prescribing suicide to solve a patient illness. It works, the illness is gone, but the patient is not feeling well afterwards.

          But this is too much of a complex reasoning for a libertarian to understand, I get that. Oh well, back to you play-doh eating contest you go

            Sorry, I didn’t realize that funding musicals in Ireland was core to the functioning of the American government. My bad!

              It’s called soft power. Basically an investment in presenting the best part of your culture to others hoping that it will attract people to your ideals and idea of society to ease collaboration with other peoples.

              But you do understand the reasoning behind such an investment with your superior intellect, I’m sure.

              And I’m also sure that you do understand that where an investment is missing others will provide that investment. Promoting their culture in lieu of others.

              I’m putting /s explicitly because I’m not sure you’d get my sarcasm, I don’t think you could understand these subtle reasonings
