They've opposed the CFPB from its inception.

I find it incredible how some Americans need constant protection from their own stupidity.

Do not take a loan if you cannot afford it. What kind of an idiot needs a government agency to protect them from doing something so stupid?

The CFPB is just another taxpayer-funded jobs program for Registered Democrats.

"There's no fraud or waste! NOW STOP EXPOSING THE FRAUD AND WASTE! :Fucking Whaaaa!: " -Democrats
Exposing fraud and waste and getting rid of programs completely because they trigger your hate reflex are two completely different things.

Of course fraud and waste are bad. Even in the defense, pharma, medical, and tech industries. But Musk/Trump are only going after the ones that bug them or get in the way of their grifting free for all.

Red states take in more tax dollars and generate fewer dollars for the Treasury than blue states.

Unassailable fact.
Red states TAKE the money contributed by blue states. And all the states that voted for Trump take way more than they give. They are going to be up shit's creek if Trump does all the cuts he threatens.

Instead of wasting taxpayers' money, now you can just makes your checks out directly to Trump and Musk. No middleman.

It may cost you more, but hey, it's worth it to see your heroes become trillionaires, isn't it?

That's true. The former is happening; the latter is not.

And you're defending a system that buttfucks the American taxpayer sans lube or reacharound, because you're a programmed NPC who is helpless to do otherwise.

Um, so what Elon uncovered at ASAid somehow ISN'T a grift?

Talk about projection!

So what? 99.9% of the waste corruption and fraud in the Federal government is going into the pockets of Registered Democrats. That is an unassailable fact too.
