I worked over 36 years and and I don't have any kids and I couldn't get help and i have to work until I die. I had to take money from my pension to keep up with my bills. And now I have to work until 67 for the chump change ss and Medicaid or Medicare is bull crap when people are allowed to stay below the 18,000 poverty level and get government subsidies so lady walk in my shoes.

I worked many of shift for several of them. They don’t care if they lose their job, they just find one paying less and get federal help.

      Cut at a quarter of all federal bureaucrats. Starting at the top and get someone honest and that does their job. And lower their wages and limit use of government jets and waste. Coach is good, maybe first class to be more secretive unless it’s too secret or a must. Cut all new building and replacing names on buildings , building parks and statues for nonsense unless the person pays for it with their own money . Make pelosi and all ppl doing insider trading pay back all money and profits plus the fine and jail time for using insider info for self profit. Which is o know at least 6 months in jail. Cut all federal money from cities and states that defund police and changed consequences laws for crimes and downgrading them. These fines keep money supporting the states and government and jail time for crimes actually is less expensive than the damage done by crimes. And representative Moore is wrong. You can take a minimum wage job in a nursing hone , get 6 weeks training for free to be a certified tech or Medication aide and make much more. Their are some factory jobs that pay above minimum wage but are unacceptable to some bc of the smell of chickens, and waste . I did what I had to do to make as much as I could. And was working over 70 hours a week most of my life from the time I was 13 babysitting. Still going to school during the week then making $75 every weekend . Took minimum wage retail jobs working 70 hours a week or I had 2 jobs which is worse than all the overtime at one job.

    Okay, I've invested my time to watch the Committee and as an analyst here's the problem:
    A. The GOP needs to follow regular order, Chairman Smith. This beneficial discussion should've happened long ago.
    B. Explicit details of where the 22% discretionary budget cuts will be applied are not defined. Therefore, this Bill is not defined.
    C. From a business perspective, cuts in revenue are a non-starter.
    Resolution Analysis:
    1. Re-instate Spending Caps (by defining them and the basis for definition, not just making up a number).
    2. Define explicit details of where discretionary budget cuts will be applied BEFORE presentation.
    3. Explore Mandatory spending opportunities. For instance, Medicare (Part D) prescriptions drug provisions in IRA will save $286 Billion in the coming decade. A much larger savings opportunity is Medicare Part B. Example, HMOs require patients to see their GP for a referral to their maintenance cardiologist. Doubling physician visits (and cost). No longer necessary in the age of computer patient files. You get the idea.

The only budget they will discuss is a clean raise if the deficit . And everything the democrats are complaining about now they have done nothing about. And like Biden’s omnibus bill which lets him move money around how he wants. It may be that they want the same privilege to move it around to places that work best. Like the FBI employees. They may want to spread that across all of the intelligence communities to lessen the blow for each agency. Idk. You are right and Biden shouldn’t have done it the way he did.

      Companies that are responsibly run can reap record profits. That is not on anyone's back. Meta (FB) often has cleared 30% profit margin. They charge their clients 30% more than it costs to run the company, but nobody claims FB got rich on the backs of FB users.
      In Q4 2021, the average net margin for oil and gas production was 31.3% according to CSIMarket. That was up from 3.2% in Q3, -1.4% in Q2 and -22% in Q1, for a 12-month trailing average of 4.7%.
      Now, pharmaceutical companies were able to reap record profits due to the push by Fauci and the Biden Administration, using government to force vaccination and using taxpayer money to purchase the vaccine at whatever price the pharmaceutical companies would like.
      Why are pharmaceutical companies and oil companies reaping record profits in the backs of the average American? Because Democrats.

    Imagine if our respective representatives’ positions in office were contingent on reading and understanding a Bill front to back. Then imagine each practical application of that Bill be required to be presented to a randomized but representative quorum of 30-50 non official/non chemically dependent citizens of that respective representative’s district. Finally, a majority of supporting votes be required for that representative to be permitted to support each Bill.
    Imagine a similar process for the electoral college. Rep’s should have to explain and justify their reasoning for supportive or opposing votes. *If the People are truly to be in power* , it should go beyond “hey I think this person would make the best decision for my area so I vote for them” because politicians say whatever they have to, then do whatever they want and think there’s no recourse because they made it and now there’s nothing the peasants can do until the next election cycle. By then, favors have been done, promises have been made, futures are secured with or without retaining the next public service position. Just my opinion. We can’t trust constituents to hold each other accountable unless they know we will. It used to be the media that informed us. Name one independent, nonpartisan news company with a WH Press badge so I can subscribe to them. All independent reports I’ve seen are sourced from the outlets with the actual access. So their articles are a nonpartisan take on a partisan sourced story. You can add refreshing takes to a copy of a copy of an idea, but you don’t get the full story no matter how nuanced or traditional the interpretation is. As long as you don’t know up from down, you can’t feel strongly enough to demand correct action. It’s a thick fog allowing others to act with impunity, because we want to trust people based on the trust and reverence commanded by that Office and it’s duties, in which each person takes an oath to execute faithfully. I wonder how many Reps, past and present, truly believe(d) in those words. We’re only human, but if kids can die or lose who they were in the name of our way of life, we have to believe in our civic responsibility and duty to do our part in its betterment. Everyone’s so concerned about their idea of “better” that nothing is better about our way of life, sure there’s an abundance of entertainment, but you “..can’t live on caviar alone.”

Then the housing economy crisis got worse.And to think I used to get 64 and pandemic ( could eat healthy) was 175. That below proverty line needs to chy to proverty line.
