What’s left but to fire people and rip the government apart? I’m laughing because the biggest problem is our national debt. It’s $36 trillion and trillions in interest paid per year.

President Trump talked, all talk, about a flat tax. I had hope, but it probably won’t happen.

Declare corruption, wasteful spending and fraud. Play to the crowd, and people’s lives are destroyed.

All we have left is a paper with words on it called our Constitution. Politicians afraid for their jobs and lives if they don’t go along with Trump. Elon Musk isn’t even an elected official, and it seems he has more power than the president. I believe Musk gets to look at more classified information than he’s cleared for. Did Musk pay Trump’s huge civil suit settlement payments? Who owes who? Is it huge tax breaks for the needy rich and companies?

The national debt is just a huge number. It’s not going down, but up, up, up. Is it all based on fear, fear that our money is worthless?
