I'm insinuating that ALL of Congress has no intention of upsetting the corupt apple cart that they are all in, are just letting Trumps tenure play out to keep him in the media (and idiots like you), focus and not on them.

LOL. Yeah, that's what happened.

Everyone's gotta get a haircut, we need to raise taxes, we need pro growth policy and investments, less corruption and waste.  Basically the opposite of what is happening now.

Only way the budget gets balanced is by serious spending and entitlement cuts to the military, Medicare/Medicaid, and Social Security, AND major tax hikes, like uncapping payroll tax contributions and closing tax loopholes.

Good luck getting any Congress or President to sign off on that.

The J. Edgar Hoover Building, the FBI's long-time headquarters in Washington D.C., is being permanently closed as the agency relocates its workforce to the Ronald Reagan Building, a move announced by Director Kash Patel in late 2025 to save billions and consolidate operations into a modern, existing facility, ending years of debate over the deteriorating structure.  

 

Good start?

It's actually not saving money, just avoids construction of a new building, but sure, any way to spend less money.

We need changes to the tax system to get a higher effective tax rate for the highest earners that receive their comp via equity paid out via long term capital gains.

If you have a point make it and stop with the childish questions.  I'm not answering anymore.
