Please don't say cut waste or spending significantly as, lets be honest, there is no stomach for it. DOGE and the Trump administration swept in (Trump for the second time) and guess what? The deficit continues to go up and all the hype about waste and inefficiencies did not pan out.

Are we ever going to get serious or are we going to continue to blame "the other", advocate for our needs while calling the needs of others waste and continue down the unsustainable path we are on? Sadly, I don't see meaningful conversations let along change anywhere on the horizon.
Why are people so convinced they need the government to take care of them? Towns and cities need police, fire infrastructure, but there are a lot of things that are not necessities.
