When you're shooting for a big change you've got to take some chances and make mistakes. "Break things and fix em fast".

I think the big waste, and fraud, will be medicare, medicare and DOD. My guess is DOD is the biggest and most shocking.

I don't think it matters what the percentages of the budget are, the people in the federal government are facilitating the waste, got to get rid of most of them.

I predict that DOD will be cut a minimum amount. The top 1% have a lot of $ in the military.

Yes but, by NOT making our our manufactured goods, that benefits the upper 1% and hurts the rest of us.We need the technology in case of a war.

Who needs charts! Remember the USFL. Six times bankrupt including a casino. Which direction you think were going?

[JMintzer]

Anyone who takes risks in business will have bankruptcies... It's not unusual at all.

Of course becoming as billionaire, several times over IS quite rare...

Anyone else enjoying the ride? Up and down, up and down...

The top 10% of Americans held 93% of all stocks, the highest level ever recorded.
Meanwhile, the bottom 50% of Americans held just 1% of all stocks in the third quarter of 2023.
The wealthiest 10% of Americans own 93% of stocks even with market participation at a record high
Something has to be done about the massive trade and goverment budget deficits. Do you have a better idea?
