The Purge

[TankTop5]

Subsidies and cuts should be able to coexist- the whole point (I hope) of DOGE is to eliminate the frivolous spending- if you have seen some of the grants and the money handed out, I would hope EVERYONE'S response would be 'WTF ARE THEY DOING?". Several websites are available to see this and if you're old enough, you may remember WI Senator William Proxmire, who had a 'Golden Fleese Award' for stupid government spending. If this waste is stopped, it can be used for something better and eventually, the government debt can be serviced.

Unfortunately, stupid government spending to one politician is constituent service or Congressional District benefit to another! The Congress had implemented no Pork Barrel policy for several years then they reversed themselves.

Any for profit entity that receives cash subsidies, grants or other forms of government aid should be required to pay it back with non tax deductible interest when they become profitable entity. That's fair deal for tax payers. If it is a non cash transaction such as land grant, then the entity should pay back equivalent to the developed value of the land.

I figure if I do a kamikaze leap from a cliff, with a grenade, it will still make more sense than trying to reason with the unreasonable. Please write on my stone Didn't know him. Had few friends, and he hated Republicans. But he sure went out with a BANG! Albeit suicide, but died with style.

Amazon cancels Rings of Power season 3 after DOGE eliminates USAID grant for funding.

You can’t make this crap up. USAID is for foreign assistance, I’m sure this is just the tip of the iceberg but it is blatant misappropriation of taxpayer money.

Google search:

No, there is no evidence or credible information to suggest that USAID (the United States Agency for International Development) is involved in "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" Season 3 or any other aspect of the show.

The claim in the tweet you cited is false and appears to be a satirical or fabricated statement. It's important to be critical of information found online and verify it from reputable source
