Trickle-down economics will always fail unless three things are true.
A) there is no crime of corruption taking place with the money that has to trickle B) all the money the rich make has to trickle, it cannot be saved for later or used to buy shit that cannot be resold(like Gov bonds or island properties on the beach) C) money “earned” by the companies production must make its way back to the bottom, u cannot just take billions and give it to other rich people and expect them to do the trickle part. People must be paid for their labor or contributions to the up and trickle down of money.
Did u ever see the movie Fargo?
I wonder if we’re gonna get to the point where judges and governors have to raise their own armies to protect themselves from Trump and then start a little mini wars with each other… terrifying future I didn’t predict 
Why do we even have confirmation hearings?
That’s what I’m saying man. I’m sick of Russia and their interference. I hope someone fights back against Russia/Putin cause it’s clear that our President won’t.
Or maybe the Rabbies and Jewish-Community leaders are smart and realize that harsh/cruel treatment of other groups in the Middle East just opens Israel up to more violent attacks and further terrorist threats. I know this sounds like a hard pill to swallow, but if Trump really does force out all the Gazans, it will paint a bullseye on American interests in the Middle East for years. Including Israel.
Hearing that the “The gop nomination is totally qualified…” makes me think that there’s either a misprint or they’re up to something nefarious…
I’m actually waiting to see if they’re gonna release a DVD set of Sean Spicer press secretary conferences.

So, because we have a deficit the President can do whatever they want with our money? Cause thats what Trump/Musk seem to be doing.
The fact that we have a deficit is immaterial to me. Just cause we have debts doesn’t mean the Gov can keep the money AND cut the programs. Rules on the books for new taxes are in place for a reason, if they aren’t going to use the tax money for its intended purpose, give it back…or pull the Senate and House together to authorize the new spending. BTW, they would have to tell us where that new spending is, and I don’t think Trump wants to do that, I think he wants to just keep the money like it’s his own, and loan it out in exchange for favors down the road.
I agree with this statement, but even if an attorney general did approve the investigation what would happen if they found out Trump really did break the wall? They can’t teach him with the Republicans control in the house and the Senate wouldn’t convict even if the house did impeach.
Gotta find some way to pray that guy at the office without relying on the Senate or the Congress. 
Explain it to me then…
Someone who hates their job…cause they’ll end up being fired as soon as Trump finds out the investigation
I don’t want a tax cut. I wanna reimbursement because the truth is, we authorized our government to spend that money years ago. In some cases like USAID -we authorized the spending of that money decades ago.  if the United States government doesn’t want to spend that money anymore than there should’ve been legislature, but also they don’t get a free check to just spend it on whatever the fuck they want. They should have to pass new legislation before they spend any more taxpayer money on new projects. And since they haven’t passed any new legislation, they should give us our money back. 
if we set the precedence that the government can change, budget funding strategy like this, it would allow the government to raise billions of dollars for one purpose , and then suddenly take that billion dollars, and spend it on something that it wasn’t originally meant for.
Edit;; corrected word precedence. 
Wait a second, the federal government takes money back from New York City, but Trump and Musk are running around cutting every program in site and nobody is talking about refunding the taxpayers? Gtfo…
“Criticism of the agency”? piss off this is the USA. It practically tells us to enjoy our right to talk shit about gov in the first amendment
To me it’s not about being “rich” or a billionaire, it’s about staying “Rich” by exploiting others OR the law. Trump is a prime example of human trash that has millions(Or billions if you believe him) but he’s just about the poorest person I have ever heard of him you measure his integrity.
