yup I agree.
As an accountant, I am all for finding ways to be more efficient with our spending - it is definitely a problem.1000% yes, cut spending. Our overly bloated government wastes billions upon billions by negligence alone, never mind the funding that goes to things that should never have been funded in the first place.
The federal government wastes at least $247 billion in taxpayer money each year. Here's how

Alright, now we get there and actually discuss something substantive!1000% yes, cut spending. Our overly bloated government wastes billions upon billions by negligence alone, never mind the funding that goes to things that should never have been funded in the first place.

My favorite talking points are "gas prices high" and "eggs cost too much" is a Bidenomics problem like this isn't the free market economy at work. I guess in this sense, people all for state run companies.
This is a discussion for the General US Politics thread.
Thanks for the moderation.
Yeah, I just feel strongly that the POTUS election in today's political climate is a binary choice on bigger picture issues - completely agnostic to anything policy-related.
IF there are millions of Republicans against Trump then he can't win, surely?
I think everyone wants to cut out government spending waste.1000% yes, cut spending. Our overly bloated government wastes billions upon billions by negligence alone, never mind the funding that goes to things that should never have been funded in the first place.

I can't shake the feeling that he might win. While saying "millions" might be an exaggeration, there is definitely a sizable number of Republicans who aren't aligned with the MAGA movement, that's why you've got Harris basically making plays to try and win over GOP voters.
I think anyone posting about US politics/economics on a Premier league football club sub forum is either a nerd or a troll! (or both)!
If a sizeable number of non-MAGA republicans do indeed vote for Harris, then this election isn't close
100% agree, Private ownership and competition are upheld as the key drivers of efficiency, innovation, and economic growth. Anything that challenges this model is often dismissed as "communism" because it conflicts with the deeply ingrained concept of the "American Dream."
Been meaning to ask you and @RAFUH who I think is in NC
Just like everything else about this election, it depends entirely where those people live. If they're more or less concentrated in the solidly blue states like CA and NY, and their switching sides only serves to pile on to what was already going to be Democratic landslides, then they don't make a ton of difference. If they're evenly dispersed, or located more heavily in the swing states, then Trump has a nearly impossible hill to climb without them.
