    Who are these people who will be hurt? A bunch of bureaucrats, they certainly weren't working for the common taxpayer.

    In other words you learned to live within your means.

    I understand that factor. But it's my responsibility to care about my family. I can't worry about everybody.

    Your lack of empathy is surprising.

    Its not about empathy but rather hes just an idiot. The CFPB has returned more money to every day Americans than any other agency in the government. The CFPB helped fix over 2 million credit scores for individual americans who were screwed by the credit agencies.

    The agency helped over 3 million people just in one year but the MAGA cult think they arent working for ordinary americans/



    If you have a responsibility to care for your family then dont you want to ensure your credit score doesnt get hurt by some fraudulent company? The vast majority of people think, "i pay my bills on time and are never late so i never need them" but this is a dumb understanding. The CFPB helps individuals who were mostly screwed by doing nothing of their fault. Its when a company forgets to send you a bill but messes up your credit score anyways. Its when a company doesnt even try to collect a bill but rather go straight to collection.

    I dont think people realize how evil the credit agencies truly are.

    That 3 million number is that high when the corporations know theres a cop on the block. Imagine what that number would be if corporations knew they could get away with murder? Imagine what homicide rates would be if we eliminated all police in the country. If the CFPB are helping 3 million citizens a year while the bad businesses knowing the cop is on the beat imagine what that number would be if they go away.

    I dont think Americans realize just how truly catastrophic this is going to be.

    I'm not a fan of a bloated government that's full of waste and fraud. I consider people who work for these agencies to be able agents of evil when they're not stealing from taxpayers.

    I don't expect others to take care of me.

    Please explain your last sentence, I haven't found this to be the case. I would say Elon runs a very tight business model. It's about time the federal government is being run like a business and Trump is doing exactly what he campaigned on doing. I find this quite refreshing and this is what the people voted for, he won the popular vote, and all the swing states on his agenda. I can't wait to see how this plays out.

    Listen, you seem like you can be reasoned with, like we can have a conversation.

    Elon hast given any evidence of fraud waste or abuse. That is the problem man. The very first claim by DOGE was that they found 50 million Dollars in condoms given to Gaza, which was false. The problem here is that you mostly always agree with what he's saying and you dont take any evidence to the contrary. How can we have a conversation this way?

    People voted for lower grocery prices and a better economy, which Trump has not accomplished and is actually making worse.

    That's a seriously f*cked up and disturbing viewpoint. You have engineers, veterans, scientists, geologists, psychologists, doctors, meteorologists, biologists, researchers, and all types of highly educated hard working decent people working in government agencies.

    You saying those people are all evil if they take a government job is a very ignorantly biased take on thousands of people who don't deserve that kind of disrespect.

    Yes, I agree it's disturbing that this has been going on for decades.


    I'm saying that people who work for the federal government have stolen trillions of dollars from us over the decades and they're about to get what's coming to them. I've got very little sympathy for what is currently happening to them. Burn it to the ground and rebuild it.

    EVERYONE has had bad experiences with government.

    I've also had some very, very good ones.

    You just haven't thought through what your mindset is trying to do. It's ****ing insane (literally, not sane)

    After the forensic accounting is done, laying off workers that aren't needed is just good business. What they did with U SAID was needed. It's not personal, it's just business.

    You don't like what's been happening this last month wait until Kash goes through the FBI and sees the shenanigans they've been up too. Can't wait to see the high ranking people there that are going to be let go. Make no mistake, Trump told us what he was going to do if he got elected and so far he's been a man of his word.
