I have what I think is a better idea. It starts by separating spending from funding. Let these worthless excuses of the democratic process propose all the spending their little grubby hearts desire BUT make it that ONLY citizen taxpayers can fund. Every spending bill would need a yes vote from citizen taxpayers. A no or non vote would reduce the asked for funding by that percent. This would end pork, graft and corruption almost overnight. The American taxpayer would get the governance they were willing to pay for. The realities of fiscal responsibility would quickly become the budget that politicians would have to live inside. All those wealthy bureaucrats that drifted to the top of the food chain wildly spending money not their own would get the same reality check the dinosaurs got when that meteor struck the Yucatán 65 million years ago.
While that sounds nice, the process would take WAY too long. And, they’d have to release the bill for more than 24-48 hours for us to read it. They don’t want us to know what’s in the bill. Remember alcoholic Pelosi sad we needed to PASS the bill to know what’s in it? What a schmuck!
Social Security and Medicare are more than half the bill and that has already been funded by our weekly paychecks by us and our employers. Then the next big piece is the military.
Pre-COVID our spending bills were $5 TRILLION. Now the bills are over $7 TRILLION. The extra $2 TRILLION is unnecessary and wasteful. Our GDP currently is $5.1 TRILLION. I think we should be able to cut $2-3 TRILLION from a $7 TRILLION bill.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, we MUST get out every single illegal - PERIOD. Let them come back LEGALLY. This would help TREMENDOUSLY with our spending issues. Not just federal, but state, too.
NEXT, we get able bodied people to work. No more Medicaid to able bodied people. Work requirements NOW! They think Americans don’t want to work, bullshit. They’ve been paid not to work.
Do you know what more than 50% of Medicaid goes for? It’s not illegals, although they are a good chunk. It goes to people who set up trusts (MEDICAID ASSET PROTECTION TRUSTS or MAPS) with their money more than 5 years prior to them going to an assisted living or a nursing home. There is a 5 years prior look back for solvency to pay. Those trusts go to their family - generational wealth - and the tax payer foots the long term care stay. THIS NEEDS TO STOP! Let the person/family in long term care pay. Either age in place, buy long term care policies or pay.
We must get our house in order or we won’t be able to pay interest on our debt. It’s almost a TRILLION dollars a year now!
Unfortunately, while your idea is good, logistically it won’t work. ☹️
You are asking for congress to return power of the purse/ budgetary power to the people. Unlikely. Fortunately SCOTUS just gave much more spending discretion to the executive branch, and the Trump administration.
No,no, I want them ALL canned, right fucking now!! Send the bastards packing, install term limits, hold new elections. Watch the new day break, for everyone.
Get rid of them all. Follow the money and stop the dark money trail!! No trips for Congress unless the American people approve. Confiscate ill-gotten wealth!
Oops, fat thumbs. Elon is a smart businessman! His ideas are radical enough to make any politico type squirm a lot!
However:
If they can’t meet reasonable spending targets, they shouldn’t be eligible to get quick pensions, nor return to run again, for the next kick at the leadership can.
There has to be more accountability to governments all over this planet!!
We need to make this a reality. Republicans and Democrats have millions of your, the taxpayer's, dollars. We need to SHAKE UP their 'do nothing' attitudes! I am 100% for Elon Musk's plan. Are you with me?
I agree! The standard play book number one most used play is promise anything to get elected then pretend you did not. That way you do not have to do anything. They do it so well. I will no longer support they. I a.now an independent. One.momre thing I think we need a third party for conservatives and maybe the Demecrats will do the same. I do not how much would get done but it would be fun.to watch. One other thing. Make them live on their salaries. See how long they hang around then.
Every last one of them is a traitor to this country! They all sat back and watched as Obama Biden and Company, imported terrorist, murderers, rapist, gang members thieves, mentally ill people from prison abroad, and people in the military and watchlist into our country! That’s called treason! But we’re still just talking about it. Can’t get any justice. I’m disappointed in Trump.
The evil & destruction are rooted so deep you can't get rid of it
I have been a victim of targeting since 2020 because of political voted for Trump &
nothing changes the subject doesn't even up He(Trump) should knowh he was targeted also by the same FBI,CIA LOCAL GOVERNMET HACKING YOUR BANK ACCOUNT YOUR PHONE YOUR JOB YOUR LIFE & NOTHING IS DONE ABOUT IT
DOESNT EVEN GET MENTIONED WHY? I HAD SUCH HIGH HOPES THINKING TRUMP WAS GOING TO PUT A END TO THIS ABUSE FINALLY BUT SO FAR NOTHING ABSOLUTELY 0
Nothing new about the Congressional leaders being a big part of the problem. We have changed them many times in the last sixty years, and practically all them have been a big part of the problem for that whole time. How to get better ones? That won't happen until Congress and the slime who lobby them are gone. God help us all.
FIRE ALL OF THEM!! THEY! Are the fucking problem!!

It happens to be the only solution.
The only.
Sounds like a good plan. I would arrest those that committed treason and fraud right away first.
I whole Hartley agree with Elon and would love for President Trump to push for this. These snakes have held the people hostage
and milked them until they cry, and still no relief, while the snakes spend and feel their importance! America as a whole should get behind this!
Get rid of them all. Follow the money and stop the dark money trail!! No trips for Congress unless the American people approve. Confiscate ill-gotten wealth!
Right “Fl…, this time I do like the perspective, however difficult to put in play!

How do we get rid of them?? You think they’re actually going to pass legislation to kick themselves out?
We need to make this a reality. Republicans and Democrats have millions of your, the taxpayer's, dollars. We need to SHAKE UP their 'do nothing' attitudes! I am 100% for Elon Musk's plan. Are you with me?
Let’s try accountability for once.
Amazingly needs to be put into law practices asap

Yea good luck on any of that

Do what’s his plan? There’s no way to that under the constitution. All elections are local.
