USAID was dismantled and moved to the U.S. State Department under Rubio. So it still exist except under a different name. Yet Trump is still running over 2 trillion dollar deficits in spending each year. He such a conservative. lol Why does Trump spend trillions more than we take in? And in doing so he creates more inflation which is a tax no one voted on?

0.39% of the Kentucky population is Jewish, isn’t that something. Lol House seat was bought in Kentucky last night by foreign actors. Isn’t that awesome! Smh

But but but it was Trumps endorsement. Lol

I couldn’t help it. 😁

Lol

Not try to spin nothing, Trump is out right lying in this clip and he knows it. What else does he lie about. I know it’s unimaginable that Trump would lie. lol I am sure the $30 million from outside interest that was poured into his opponent campaign had nothing to do with it either. Lol The most expensive house seat in American history was bought last night by outside interests. Congratulations! Heck even the Secretary of War Pete Hegspeth took a day off in the middle of a War with Iran to campaign for ole Ed. I have said before and I’ll say it again Special Interest, Lobbyists and the CIA run this country.

This is an out right lie and embarrassing. This pathetic president has changed and not for the better. Smh

Wrong they don’t vote line item issues you just named. They roll it all into a big bill with a bunch BS spending and privacy overreach then sell it to you as an awesome bill to vote for. Lol

No kidding, Paxton would have won regardless of his endorsement.

Trump is not a conservative, neither is the GOP Party.

Jalapeño and Cheese Sausage is pretty legit too.

I added something too , check this out . He’s getting community noted on x for lying about Massie. Imagine that. 😂 How honorable.

Oh there’s sausage in there but it’s Market Basket Sausage which is pretty good imo.

His voting record is what counts. Nuff said. You still can’t tell me why Trump wants him out because Trump has never said why he wants out besides Massie not voting for crap bills. Massie has always pushed for line item voting.

What a Honor! lol Trump is such a honorable individual!🤣

That’s it?! That’s the answer. Sounds like a follower of Trump answer. Lol

My original post was a copy and paste. I made that known. But the take home pay is not that far off. Neither I nor you know what state this individual is from but the additional things that we are taxed on are legitimate taxes. I made a guess of NC. I believe the reason of the post as I read it was we are taxed to the hilt and not much is left over after being taxed only to be taxed some more when you try to spend what’s left over. Some people are in better situations than others but a lot of Americans are struggling. I will not sit by and be a cheerleader for this administration if basic necessities keep rising in price. I am happy that you are in a good financial situation but I do have sympathy for people whose wages can’t keep up with the inflation we’ve had the last 5.5 years. You can you only stretch your pay so far before it just doesn’t stretch anymore. By the way we will be eating red beans and rice tonight. They’ve been cooking all day in the crockpot. 😎

Now do Lindsey Graham.

Can you answer why he would never debate Massie? I’ll wait.

Well you talk like we are living in Utopia and everything is Awesome!

Well I guess I could flip that question and say show me where all the taxes that are being charged are spent in a justifiable manner and are not be misused . Kinda of a vague open ended question that has countless variables. I would say a good start would be stop spending more than you take in , kinda like most families and businesses do. Don’t forget the tax that is not even voted on - Inflation - for spending more than you take in and devaluing the dollar.

I stand corrected we live in Utopia. Good grief. Smh The insurance I was referring too was health insurance. The numbers posted are not far off. I believe the whole point of the post was there was not much left to live on after being taxed into an oblivion. You are going to tell me that a country that spends 2 trillion more a year than it takes in is a good thing because it’s providing services?! 😂🤣😂 And that’s just at the federal level.

He would have won without Trumps endorsement. I guess Paxton’s check must have cleared Trumps bank just in time for an endorsement for the runoff. Lol

Here’s just quick random google search with him or her living in North Carolina since the post says they were charged crazy toll fees going to Florida. You’re off on your number . These numbers don’t include any money taken out for retirement and insurance. Let’s not forget the other taxes they can and will pay with their take home pay. If you’re going to defend the amount of taxes we pay as just and fair then this conversation is over . Lol A single individual in North Carolina making $50,000 per year will bring home an estimated $39,814 to $40,039 in net pay. This translates to roughly $3,318 to $3,337 per month. The remaining salary is allocated to standard deductions and taxes: Gross Salary: $50,000 Federal Taxes: ~$4,500 FICA (Social Security & Medicare): $3,825 State Income Tax: ~$1,470 The Breakdown 1. North Carolina State Taxes North Carolina has a flat income tax rate of \(3.99\%\). Because there are no local income taxes in the state, your state tax burden is straightforward. After applying North Carolina's standard deduction (about \(\$13,000\) for single filers), you can calculate your state income tax using the following formula: \((\$50,000-\$13,000)\times 0.0399=\$1,476.30\) 2. Federal Income Taxes For a single filer in the 2026 tax year, the standard deduction is \(\$16,100\). This leaves you with a taxable income of \(\$33,900\). [1] 10% Bracket: The first \(\$12,400\) is taxed at \(10\%\). 12% Bracket: The remaining \(\$21,500\) is taxed at \(12\%\). Total Federal Tax: \(\approx \$3,820\) [1] 3. FICA Taxes (Social Security & Medicare) These payroll deductions fund federal programs and apply to all wage earners at flat rates: [1, 2] Social Security (6.2%): \(\$50,000 \times 0.062 = \$3,100\) Medicare (1.45%): \(\$50,000 \times 0.0145 = \$725\)

Gallrein refusing to debate Massie speaks volumes. There are two words in a person's life that will open a lot of doors for them... PULL and PUSH.
