    Meh, if what he is doing is so bad, and enough people think that, then in four years vote in a dem who can change it all back.

      I get what you’re saying but at the same time, it is much easier to tear things down then build them up. If you fire everyone that manages social security for example, it will be very difficult/costly to train up all new people. This isn’t some policy that can just be reversed and that’s the end of it. I’ll reiterate, I truly think think the damage being done will lower the standard of living for Americans for generations to come and that really saddens me.

        I’m sure they can be trained pretty quickly. Just like any job that has to hire new people.

        And I disagree.

          You don’t think cutting social security, Medicare, Medicaid, veterans benefits and other social safety nets won’t harm Americans? How exactly do you think it will make things better or stay the same?

          Firing 100k-200k federal jobs will have trickle down effects like Reagan could only dream of.

          How is selling government property going to help anyone? We already have an over abundance of office space, now we are going to dump more sqft into the market? What will that do to prices of commercial property?

          How will anything doge is doing HELP you?
