>>Like the fact that the federal budget is higher than it has ever been in the past. So, you actually believe it is possible for a president to reduce the federal budget in less than a year after having taken office while the state of a California is OWNED by Democrats? You clearly NECER had any idea how DC works. You walked away from any opportunity ever to reduce the budget. Totally irresponsible.

It was a failure in that Musk's time is far better used as the leading creative genius and technical thinker in the nation, than in trying to undo the damage of a democrat presidents and Pelosi. He made a misjudgment and has focused on his business interests. The federal government is a lost cause. He priced that. I’ve always respected you as a smart guy but it seems to me you might have taken a bump on the head.

>> Like the fact that DOGE was an incredible failure. I'm not going to debate this with you, as it the long run isn't a few months. But tariffs are raising money on a net basis and have served to protect certain sectors that were under attack. It is far too early to know what effects tariffs will have ultimately on growth or deficit reduction objectives. There is certainly zero basis for calling the Trump Tariffs an "incredible failure". Your claimed list of evidence of failure is nonsense. We'll see how it plays out over a reasonable period of time. Doesn't matter. It is still not justification for support Kamala Harris or Joe Biden. You've lost your shit. Maybe the move to the Valley has made you a little crazy.
