    THAT is the fundamental flaw in the right's belief system. A
    government is NOT like a large corporation.

    Corporations charge money for products.
    Governments provide services paid for by everybody.


    Governments cannot get rid of
    debt by just declaring bankruptcy.

    Governments cannot just buy out
    competing countries.

    Presidents cannot fire objectionable
    governors and senators and judges.

    President are answerable to the public,
    not stockholders.

    Remember when Biden told that steelworket "I don't work
    for you"?

    You paid for Trump's lavish Superbowl

    I didn't pay for shit and I wouldn't have gone anyway.

    Well?

    Asked and answered.

    Is the country too safe? Are there not
    enough terror attacks? Should we just
    fire people until there IS an security

    Well?

    Not every employee is an asset. Not every employee is
    mission-critical.


    How would Trump know that?

    How would newbie Pulte know that?

    Neither have ANY knowledge of
    this agencies staffing and workload.

    THAT is the fundamental flaw in the right's belief system. A

    Corporations charge money for products.
    Governments provide services paid for by everybody.


    Governments cannot get rid of
    debt by just declaring bankruptcy.

    Governments cannot just buy out
    competing countries.

    Presidents cannot fire objectionable

    Why would *you* need to know?


    Know what?

    You deleted the entire thread.

    Is this a "Nobody" thing with you

    Huh?

    How would Trump - much less newbie Pulte -

    Well?

    Asked and answered.

    Is the country too safe? Are there not

    Well?

    Not every employee is an asset. Not every employee is mission-critical.

    How would Trump know that?

    Well?

    How would newbie Pulte know that?

    Neither have ANY knowledge of

    Now you're just repeating yourself. Quit while your embarrassment is minimal.

    And you keep dodging the question.

    It's been asked and answered. One more time for the slow student--

    "Pulte has been asking deputies and other directors for suggestions about cuts.

    Besides, you lied.
