(Small addendum: the job of the federal reserve is to produce federal revenue, but not the way referenced here. Money printer go brrr and all that.)
The job of the government isn’t to “produce federal revenue” the job is meeting the needs of the people. Refuse to engage in a debate about the profitability of providing people’s needs through public resources.
Greene: Those are not real jobs producing federal revenue. Federal employees do not deserve their jobs. Federal employees do not deserve their paycheck

GOP: How is is cost effective to put 30k workers into a concentration camp that will cost taxpayers $70k per inmate per year?

That’s WORKERS contributing to the economy vs $70k outflow for EACH PERSON interned at the camps?

Isn’t that like $2.1 BILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR in cost? 🤔

I don't care about your duty.

"Well without it shareholders-"
