So where are the so-called “savings”? The truth is, there are none. Despite the rhetoric, the government is spending more and borrowing faster than at any point in U.S. history, even as critical public services are gutted and oversight is weakened.

MAGA keeps saying Trump is “saving taxpayers money” and “paying down the national debt.” If that were true, why did the U.S. national debt just surpass $38 trillion, a record high in American history?

Thankfully, my successful lunges for food do not have the same result. I mean, I work out everyday, but I could never undo that kind of damage.

Didn't someone, somewhere, say something once about how innovation never happens with hard work - basically, it happens because of lazy people finding easier ways to do things? I'm definitely an innovator.
