So we can’t have nice things
Just run the fucking country into the ground, why don’t ya?
You get the future you invest in.
It’ll get lost in between the broadband grants and the Treasury, too.
like a drop of water in an ocean
Wish the money we sent to Argentina was used for deficit reduction, or maybe federally legalize marijuana and use the revenue for deficit reduction, or maybe we should reverse the massive corp tax rate cuts from 2017 to help with deficit reduction. Nope.
Republicans : we need to reduce the deficit
Reasonable people : So you’re going to tax the rich right?
Republicans : Hah no, we are going to take away services for the poor.
Where do they think the Argentina bailout money, the ballroom renovation money, tax cuts were going to come from?
This is good for spacex
Time for the states to step up: tax data centers and the extremely wealthy to fund basic services. Put pressure on federal electeds to transfer more revenue from the federal government to the states.
Honestly, this feels like a step backward. In a world where everything is online, cuttingbroadband funding is just asking for more problems
Just another “fuck you” to his rural supporters. Good.
nothings to small to save if they dont like it, and no price is to high for the things they do like
Hmmm invest in our people to give some (let’s face it not all doing anything more then spacing out to clips) or be less than 1% assuming it doesn’t grow at oh 1 trillion a year as predicted.
Rural voters once again voting against themselves. You voted for this
This fits with the Republican agenda to convince more young people to leave rural areas and move to the cities.
Just this month, my Spectrum bill went up 20%. $50-$60 for 100mb/10mb. HAHA RURAL
I know that Trump isn’t really concerned with legality, but this can’t go unchallenged? Congress has allocated that grant money and the president doesn’t get to REallocate it, right?
We’re going to reduce the deficit by cutting programs and services for everyday Americans just so we can run up the deficit again.
Nothing but lag and chaos. So we get very slow internet
What a stupid fucking use of money lmao how do people think the GOP is good for the economy
i.e., Yet more tax cuts for the ultra-fucking-weakthy.
Punish Americans!
Not a fan of this administration.
But let’s be honest. We have paid them hundreds of billions of dollars for rural broadband and they never built any of it.
Tax money shouldn’t be used to better society, it should be used to reduce the deficit for massive tax cuts!!!
More Trump voters losing internet access is a good thing
