You claimed Musk lied and said an $8B contract was canceled and it turned out to be $8M. 

 

I asked you who contract was with and what it was for. You, as you so often do, posted a link to an article that neither supported your claim, nor answered my questions.

Why is anyone who makes a disparaging comment about Trump called a "leftist"?

If I was anti the party he nominally leads I could possible accept that. 

My complaint is about the person, not his so called politics. 

 

I am NOT  a "leftist" by any definition.

I just think Trump is a deranged megalomaniac!

Poor Americans would do better without it. 

 

That said, it would have to be phased out slowly, because people a lot of the people that have been depending on it their whole lives would be ruined. 

 

But the claims that Trump is going to eliminate Social Security are coming from lying. leftist fear mongers.

Why is it important that the "public" be able to fact-check his claims? 

Expand  

 

Because he is presenting the  job eliminations and contract cancelations as savings when they are not.  Some of the big contracts they say they canceled were canceled by the Biden admin or  were completed.

 

For people who understand contracts, they see through tanother part of the charade. Contracts have cancelation clauses. These include  compensatory requirements when a contract is canceled midterm. There are  labor law severance requirements that apply to many of the workers.A large number  of the people who were put into retirement  entered into bridging arrangements. All of this adds up to paying for services that won't be delivered, and salaries of workers who are not working. It is smoke and mirrors.

 

The reality is that almost all of the actual savings are derived from stopping foreign aid.

The Biden-Harris Administration is Stealing from Medicare

"The Biden-Harris administration and congressional Democrats touted the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act” (IRA) to seniors to lower inflation and health care costs. However, it has proven to accomplish the exact opposite, and now it’s up to lawmakers on Capitol Hill who wisely opposed the law in 2022 to address its failures and help end the raid on our nation’s seniors.

Nearly two years after its passage, the IRA has diverted nearly $260 billion from the projected Medicare “savings” to pay for special interest handouts like large tax credits for costly electric vehicles, enormous subsidies paid to big health insurer-PBM corporations, and funding health care programs for illegal immigrants."

It is amusing haw all the leftists that hate Trump try to pretend they are not leftists.

That is true for a lot of republicans, me being one of them. But you trumpettes can't seem to understand what a POS he is and the damage he's doing. When it affects you, youll be crying like babies.

 

Maybe the lack of moral character or compass runs thru all the trumpettes and thats why there is no ability to discern fact from fiction.
