    It’s actually a $1.7 Trillion discretionary budget. So even if they took $500 or $700 Billion (they won’t get close), there would still be $1trillion they’d have to take from Social Security and Medicare. Effectively cutting those programs in half (actually cutting them nearly 70% to reach to full $2 trillion). I’m sure all those MAGA voters in the villages and all the retirees will just take their immediate 70% haircut “for the good of the country”. :emoji_joy:

    I’ve got my popcorn ready. But somehow I doubt it even gets to 10% (and I bet those Villages people would revolt even over 10%).

    The "Elon is an idiot" narrative continues despite his continued ascent as the world's richest person and the fact that he is a self-taught rocket scientist, physicist and engineer. "The Party of Science" has officially become "The Party of Butthurt."

    I think it's funny that the "working class" has Elon Musk and Donald Trump looking out for them. I am looking forward to my new tax bill. It should really help out those folks.
