    In the US, but basically it is a global phenomenon, government spending is out of control and unsustainable - Argentina showed us the way.
    Wish we had DOGE in the EU. We need less unproductive bureaucrats not more.

      Maybe, and I say maybe, before starting to dismantle core-agencies needed for the maintenance and management of a state, one should look into the meddling between private and public interests. Like, how much of our money is being used to sustain dead-end projects such as Ai development or fossil fuel? Do we want to also look into the military spending and the paths grants provided to this end follow?

      If Argentina has taught us anything is that leaving citizens without services makes the lives of those same citizens even worse. The results of no hospital, schools, or state management agencies will be shown in some years, can’t wait to see libertarians trying to spin that situation in a positive way

          Oh yes, cut spending by eliminating agencies needed by the people to have a decent life in a developed society and present the resulting savings as a victory.

          It’s like a company manager firing most of its employees and selling it’s machines presenting the administrative books at the next shareholders meeting. Much profits, wow! And then the year after the company goes bankrupt and foreclose, who can say why this has happened??? Must have been the invisible hand free market!!! Fs fs, on god

              Yeah buddy, sure. I’m certain without rules and laws all companies would act in the best interests of the consumers, not selling dangerous or poisonous goods at all!! And they would never think about creating cartels to fix the prices of their products. This could never happen!!

              God, you’re thick as a brick but less useful. Basically a rock with the capacity to write dumb things on the internet

                  Wrong facts but facts nevertheless.

                  Please tell me how the absence of laws and agencies mandated to overview the adherence to said laws by big industrial realities could improve the quality of live for common citizens who are already power-deprived in front of big corporations thanks to the lack in founding of state agencies in return for the campaign contributions all parties rack in from their wealthy donors with each election cycle

                  Pro-difficulty: use your words instead of linking to a badly argued YouTube video

                    Because Thomas Sowell can tell it so much better with countless historic examples than I can and btw - it is not a ‘youtube video’ - it is a link to a rumble video with the complete audiobook. It just shows you how an economy works and the effects (negative and positive) of governments. One of the best books ever written on this subject. Highly recommended for everyone - left or right.
