    Elon's views...

    He's not wrong, for the most part. I'm not smart enough to know the solution, but cutting federal spending on government agencies seems like a drop in the bucket to tackle the bigger issue of growing crippling national debt, the looming social security crisis, etc...

    So let’s keep pouring buckets of water into the boat to sink it faster? The debt is one issue, Social Security another. Neither will get fixed so long as the we continue to let the easy fixes go unchecked… If we see the Government actually fix the spending problems, the people will be more likely to take on the challenges of the Ponzi schemes and debt crisis.

    I do expect Trump to remove the Social Security cap, which will help take care of Social Security for the time being. I do wonder if he is

      One thing Elon said that perked my ears, was the fact that agencies are going beyond what was specified by Congress.

      That one change could save a lot of money.

        Shapiro comments on Warren's comment.

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                              That sounds like fanfic. Why would Bongino leave being the heir apparent for Rush to take a government service role like that?

                              I could see him advising, but not leaving his budding media gig.

                                    A charitable reason is that TuCa thinks he can make a difference for the good in the position. A more cynical explanation is that TuCa recently started a company that sells nicotine pouches, which he's marketing with a political slant. His competitors are big contributors to Dem campaigns. I'm sure it's some of everything. But how much is he making on youtube and X anyway?

                                      Rumor - Bongino to run Secret Service.

                                      That sounds like fanfic. Why would Bongino leave being the heir apparent for Rush to take a government service role like that?

                                      I could see him advising, but not leaving his budding media gig.

                                      I thought the same about TuCa.

                                      Press Secretary is a complete different level of prestige and such. Tucker can go back to his podcast stuff later (or even continue?) But being Press Secretary is a move up for him. For Bongino, that's a downward move.

                                        Yeah. but Bongino bleeds Secret Service and he thinks it's in the dumper right now.

                                        I don't think he'll take the job, but one of his best friends runs Trump's detail. He's the guy that's been screaming for two years that they weren't giving him adequate assets to cover Trump.

                                        I think that Trump's detail guy is the favorite.

                                          Agreed. That's why I found the appointment of TuCa astonishing.

                                          Well, one of the reasons...

                                          If there is any constant with US Admins us that Press Secretaries come and go with the seasons. That FuCa is there for now - to handle the first “nasty” opening rounds of the bout.
