    The second guy - from the VA. If you read the whole article he was set to retire in 2027 and had filed the paperwork. Now he’s out before he put in his 20.

      When you sit this many people in the street, you're going to have some sad stories.

      There's no way around it.

        But maybe publicizing a few will tamper down the glee with which the maga right has greeted these individual job losses. At the end of the day all these people did was apply for a decent job.

        Agreeing with the cuts is one thing, celebrating the tragedies the individuals are going through (let me know if you’d like receipts, but I’m sure everyone here has seen it) quite another.

          Somebody has do it. You know it. I know it. It's not gonna be pretty and it's going to hurt.

          Yet, if we do nothing, you'll be the first to point fingers.

          Time to cut the baby in half. Make a decision.

            Every dollar we cut is a dollar that doesn’t go to increase the debt, and we have a long, long way to go.

              Absolutely.

              We got here through massive political pandering and MMT.

                  It’s a little easier to point to the GOP’s deliberate decision to take us off our debt reduction glide path 24 years ago with forever wars and tax cuts.

                    Well, sure seems like we've been printing money out of thin air to satisfy debt.

                            Let's not leave out the small, insignificant fact that the United States was the only major economy left unscathed by WW2.

                                  When Bill and Newt put the country on a debt reduction glide path in the 90s, the debt totalled ~5.5T.

                                  The GOP, likely without a single democratic vote, will add ~4T in the coming 24-30 months.

                                  DOGE is part side show, part ideological purge.

                                  Watch what they do not what they say.

                                      @Axtremus If the culture shifts, it could easily affect the decisions of private companies. As we saw with the anti-profitable DEI employees that sprung up everywhere.

                                      Education is extremely important.

                                        I will give President Trump credit IF he continues this path, even when public "sentiment" turns against him on this.

                                        Rare for a president to take a long term view on a subject.

                                          In this case, the wife overstayed her original visa.
