The government shuts down. Another spectacular MAGA failure.

Tell us you don't know anything about accounting without saying "I don't know anything about accounting."

The list of things he knows nothing about is like the universe, ever expanding.

I don't want Federal money going to the states; just let the states collect it in the first place. And yes, you're right; no money should be going to people who were here illegally.

And no taxpayer money should go to Planned Parenthood.

Then let's not pretend your beef is with the fungibility of money. It's that you don't want the funding to exist in the first place.

It’s crazy that decent, intelligent individuals know the MAGAts’ ideologies / positions better than the MAGAts know their ideologies / positions themselves - and we have to explain their ideologies / positions to them and / or draw their ideologies / positions out of them…



We. Told. Them. So.

This is a statement that indicates that you are not a person to be taken seriously. I mean, c'mon, most of us already knew that but THIS is downright insane. Do you know what you would even do to the red states? LOL. Buffoon.

Accounting is simply lines on paper. The FACT is that money is fungible, and once it's distributed, even with restrictions, there is no way to trace where that particular dollar is going. The organizations know it. So do the accountants. My dad was an accountant. I took an accounting course.

I think you e effectively destroyed any argument you may have made here.

The IS just have billions to Argentina and according to you some or all of that money could be used for health care. Yet you don’t seem upset about non-Americans getting US tax payer dollars for health care.

 

[SkyBubble]

Argentina is not relevant to this discusssion.

And again, you deliberately misinterpret what I've said to fit your narrow little ideology. Our tax dollars should not be funding healthcare for foreign countries. We're deeply in debt on our own spending without subsidizing foreigners. That is one of the objections people have raised to handing Zelensky a blank check. We've helped pay their pensions and pay for their bureaucracy.

Money goes to DC; they take a chunk. They send a chunk to the states. The state would have more money if they just collected it directly.

I would do this for every state, red or blue. Unlike you, I don't determine policy on who is affected. Tribalist buffoon.

 

[PintlerMan]

Just checking in to see how you dumbocrats posting stuff that ages like very old milk, how can a group of people be so dumb? Bunch of losers. Long Live the King!!!!!

 

[MajorRewrite]

The Republicans in control of everything in DC still haven’t figured out how to keep the lights on.

Keep looking for the light switch Crooked Donnie, Anonymous Dolt Thune and Tiny Mikey Johnson!

Hey. This is such a great idea. Why haven’t the states figured out how to do that now? Wanna know why? Cos it’s not a great idea. It’s shit you pulled from yer ass.

It's teh way things used to be done before we instituted "revenue sharing" and it worked. If you get the Feddies out of the way, the states and localities can do more, which is how our government is supposed to work.

California, with the world's 4th largest economy, required the aid of the federal government after a fire. There's a bond stated in the constitution between the states and the fed. You are, like all magats, against that. I wish you would just be honest and say you want and end to the IRS or a return to the gold standard or the you're for the Fair Tax bullshit.

To be fair, he more or less has said that between the lines.
