3.14 & more: US Government Financial Analysis
The FAA’s 2025 budget (includes ATCs) is ~$19.8B and 85-90% ($17B) already comes from aviation taxes (7.5% ticket tax, $4.50 segment fee, cargo & fuel taxes). The ~$2-3B gap could be closed with ~$5-7 per ticket — meaning the FAA could be fully funded w/o a dime of income tax.
Senior citizens who own their primary homes shouldn't have to pay property taxes. It's time to stop forcing our senior citizens out of their lifelong homes, it's un-American!
Harvard sits on $53 billion tax-free while Uncle Sam (who's $37 trillion in debt) keeps writing them checks. Meanwhile, schools like University of Austin, Hillsdale, and College of the Ozarks charge LESS and take $0 in federal funding. The kicker? The more money Harvard gets,…
The US government: - $5 trillion per year in revenue - $7 trillion per year in spending - $2 trillion budget deficit - $38 trillion govt debt - $1.4 trillion per year in interest payments - 25% of all govt revenue goes to interest Democrats want more money spent to reopen govt.
Would it not be a better system to just have government funding continue indefinitely unless Congress passes changes? Why do essential services require CRs to pass. This system is a flaw and a big threat to our country.
Congress should not be getting paid during a shutdown even retroactively. If they actually cared about the US federal workers, they would pass a resolution to withhold pay or at least donate their paychecks.
This is what I voted for! D.O.G.E. has finished its clean-up of Social Security & they have remove a whopping 12.3 MILLION scammers from the Social Security system. If each fraudulent person was making just $1800/mo, then D.O.G.E. just saved Americans $22,140,000,000 A MONTH.
Obamacare started in 2014. Health insurance became more unaffordable. It got so bad, in 2021 Biden and Dems passed temporary subsidies with an expiration date of Dec 31, 2025, to hide the real cost of Obamacare insurance. Obamacare is broken and more subsidies won't fix it.
The whole world is $337 TRILLION in debt. To whom exactly?
You do realize you have had 22 years in the Senate to come up with a better healthcare plan, don’t you? If you aren’t interested in doing your job anymore I would like to do it. 🙋♀️
If the Affordable Care Act is so “affordable”… why is it that every time I turn around it needs to be bailed out?
Bill Gates: $106B | Microsoft: $3.9T Jeff Bezos: $232.5B | Amazon: $2.3T Larry Page: $204.2B | Google: $2.84T Mark Zuckerberg: $243.5B | Meta: $1.8T Can someone please explain why on earth we’re paying the power & water bills for their data centers?
It isn't just illegal immigration. There are serious problems with LEGAL immigration, too. Programs like the H-1B visa aren't being used to attract the "best and brightest." They're being used to replace American workers with imported foreign labor.
$37 TRILLION in debt. $2 TRILLION in annual deficits. This is the greatest threat to our nation, and it didn’t happen overnight. Washington spent us into oblivion while career politicians looked the other way. As a father of three, I have skin in this game. The decisions we…
The debate in Washington isn’t “shutdown vs. keep it open.” It’s about how much debt we are willing to tolerate. Both parties keep spending like there’s no tomorrow. I’ll keep fighting for the only real solution: a balanced budget through my Penny Plan. @BloombergTV
Imagine walking into a “negotiation” where one side demands: - $1.5 trillion in more spending, - Free health care for illegal immigrants, - And welfare for people who won’t work. Now imagine being told you’re the problem for saying no.
If the Affordable Care Act is so “affordable”… why is it that every time I turn around it needs to be bailed out?
The Commerce Department should just acknowledge the flawed census and correct it on its own. No need to go through litigation if both sides agree that states like Florida got shortchanged. Fix it.
/1🚨LANDMARK LAWSUIT🚨 AFL is fighting for a fair and lawful Census — alleging that the 2020 Census used FLAWED statistical methods that FABRICATED population counts and STOLE representation from the American people.
Washington’s spending levels are unsustainable. I offered my Six Penny Plan to cut 6 cents from every dollar the government spends so we could balance the budget in 5 years, yet Democrats and some Republicans rejected this plan. Which of these plans would you support?
The total cost of Schumer's Shutdown shenanigans has reached $2.4 billion. For the sixth straight workday, taxpayers will foot a $400 million bill to pay 750,000 "non-essential" federal employees to NOT WORK.
Should Washington focus on reining in spending and balancing the budget?
