A great patriot helping two other patriots. What else you got? Guessing not a comment on usaid financing al-queda and isis?
usaid should get the same treatment for funding those organizations as our military and intelligence agencies did

the us govt giving those groups money and training has been going on for decades

Well, I don't know anything about hacked, but it wouldn't, or doesn't, take a genius to ask why someone receiving benefits from dept of agriculture, responsibly for SNAP, is giving benefits to someone filing a tax return with $100k of taxable income (Just picked a number out of the air), all you have to do is crosscheck data.

And, I admit that I don't know, but if you're empowered to deal with issues like this, is it not legal to "hack" your own systems?
There are already Federal income interfaces that states use when validating different types of income when determining SNAP benefits.

You're out of your league on this topic, teach. Hope you had fun on your cruise though!

For the one millionth time, I don’t care what someone tweets. It’s not compelling. Like at all.

Again, I am not white knighting for USAID. I am simply saying what you’re saying is absurd.

I had a fabulous time other than the nasty smelling seaweed in Key West. The food, shows, pools, Bahamas, etc. were all top notch. If anything, a lot of it was a little too bougie for my taste, but I enjoyed everything all the same. ☺️

No but something like it that is much more drastic will be needed sooner than later.

you will not be digging out a $40 trillion dollar hole just with tax increases.

government will need to embrace AI and start cutting the hell out of the bureaucracy.

Does anyone on this site truthfully believe that anything that pertains to government, beside the military, is a success. We wouldn't need DOGE if they were. I am 72 years old and been paying taxes for a long time and I feel that pretty much every penny I sent was better served flushing it down the toilet. And before one of the lefty's start talking about SS or Medicare, that is MY money I put in and would have been worth a lot more if I was able to keep it rather than send it to them. SS is the largest Ponzi scheme ever concocted.

What I'm stating is true. Feel free to listen to Mike Benz go through it all. There is literally hundreds of hours of content he's put out breaking down the waste and abuse of USAOD specifically (that dates back prior to its dismantling under trump btw)

I've given you the tools and resources, teach. It's up to you to do the homework or not.

Your lack of reading comprehension is not my problem.

You nailed this part:

Thank you for proving me correct :)
no, I did read what you linked....I just don't agree with your conclusions...

Wasn't the Hutchinson woman (don't mean to disparage, just don't remember her first name) a great whistleblower? Testified nin front of Congress...only thing is, she wasn't accurate....but let's just accept what someone else proposes "might" happen and accept that as fact...

But, that's Ok, I appreciate that you didn't call me names..that's a victory for both of us :)

I see that Trump recently claimed he had nothing to do with it. That is usually a sign of complete failure.

- They saved a fraction of what they intended
- They failed to send anyone the promised checks
- They have had to hire back most of the people they fired.
- They stole millions of Americans' personal data.
- They caused the deaths of thousands of children.

No wonder Trump wants no part of it.

Do you even watch the news? Every day another article is out describing how the US federal government is getting ripped off.

Any time there is a pile of money to be had, people will be attracted. There are usually three outcomes of any federal policy involving money.

1.) some will comply
2.) most will exploit it
3.) the rest will find a way around it.

Government is not the solution. Especially with democrats and their thirst for money.
