“Things he can’t actually do for $800?”
OTOH, lets say he could.
Taking a bunch of money from one elite college and distributing it to dozens (hundreds?) of working class schools all over the country?
I thought he hated socialism…
The new budget added $150 billion in military spending to the budget, after generals were literally begging congress last year to stop buying so many tanks.
For refrence the TOTAL amount spent on public schools in the US is $38 billion
Yes but how will Lima, Ohio exist if we don’t keep building tanks?!
Easy, you let the yogurt take over. ;)
You start building swarm-enabled FPV drones with AI targeting, screw ethics.
You will anyway, I mean, for the cost of one tank you can build such an amount of these to take out a dozen.
Build trains?
Oh yeah.
I’m SURRRRE that he’ll give grants to trade schools.
That’s SOOOOOO belieeeeevable.
This is HORRIBLE! I DONT want MY Tax Dollars going to OTHER People’s EDUCATION!
Well there are about 8.5K trade schools, so they would only get $353K each; which is less than they are losing thanks to Trump’s “big beautiful bill” gutting the trade school funds to help teach things like how to install solar panels and repair things like heat pumps
That’s $3B that’s gonna disappear into someone’s pocket.
The money will be going to Republican owned private for-profit trade schools that will be nothing more than diploma mills cranking out unqualified “graduates”.
BAH GAWD KING, THAT’S THE CORPSE OF ITT TECH RISING FROM THE DEAD!
I’m cool with this. Let’s devalue the trades by having an over-abundance of blue collar workers while simultaneously increasing demand for white collar jobs by reducing the supply of educated workers.
I get my toilet unclogged for even cheaper, and I get more money ten years from now when demand has risen.
I’d prefer to just have educated workers instead of glorifying back-breaking manual labor that the employees hate, but ill take a win where I can lol
BRB, gonna create a “trade school” and buy trump meme coin. We’ll gonna need more funding though. After trump’s cut, 2 billion ain’t enough.
He doesn’t care who it helps. As long as it hurts his political enemy in the moment. He’ll forget he was mad by lunch. Dude is sundowning hard.
There’s a difference between having a liberal bias and simply not having the GOP’s agenda
I mean, his promises kinda are socialism, just wrapped into rebel flag racist and qanon crap. Including “returning industries back from China” parts, those are not ideal clean socialism so to say, but they match USSR. And the anti-diversity parts - as Soviet-socialist in emotion as it gets. Just aimed at minorities “unjustly getting special treatment”.
Let him. Also why would Harvard need federal grants.
It baffles me that Trump thinks it’s a good idea to mess with the school that most lawyers come from.
There’s the real agenda. Trade schools don’t teach critical thinking.
Why was the aristocrat university getting welfare checks in the first place?
