What do we think about Elons claim of clearing 2t off the budget?

I have maga mates who think he's serious and they say he's going to do it by slashing public servant numbers. Even if he sacks every civilian federal employee, that's only 300b gone.

Defence won't get cut, which means that around 40% of health and welfare spending would need to be cut to make up 2t.

I'm not worried because it's Elon, he's not actually going to review the budget, but if they cut 2t it would make the 2008 recession look like nothing.

Just hyperbole, won’t happen, can’t happen. They will find savings, I mean who couldn’t but to find that amount is just crap.

I think it's a good idea.

Why not get capable people doing important jobs?

He’s a smart guy and will do some good but he’s on for a shock if he thinks you can run a government the way he runs his companies.

You mean into the ground? He's in good company with that!

The left has a massive issue with identity politics. No one cares, yet they've been sucked into it and it's hard for them to find a way out.

Your average person just doesn't give a shit about race, gender identity etc. The sooner the left realise this and move the hell away from these issues the better.

The thing that's so funny about this US election is Trump has spent four years saying he was robbed and cheated, then starts a riot, then on the night starts saying that he's being cheated in Pennsylvania. Then as soon as he starts winning that state and the election it's like "um actually yeah this election is all good, thanks guys".

The fact that the democrats couldn't beat a guy that just constantly lies and pretty much threatened to try and start a civil war if he lost the election just shows how our of touch they are with regular people.

And the sad thing is that Labor look very similar here. Completely out of touch with people.

Were the dems really running on a platform of gender identity issues? I don't really recall them bringing it up.

I heard a lot about what the right said the left were going to do about those issues, but it really didn't seem to come up much from what I saw.

What the left need to do is find a way to break the narrative that conservatives are better at managing the economy. We have decades of evidence going back to the 70s in the US, UK and Australia that indicates this is just not the case.
