The federal reserve is in opposition to the growth of America.

Tariffs on foreign countries built America. Study history, and examine what the first president accomplished with them. Sadly, that history is not taught, mainly because of the soon to be dismantled department of education, and the deranged Trump hating media only wants their narrative heard.

Employers and investors have been incentivized for 35 years to move jobs and investment overseas. Glad to see them coming back to the USA.

Trump and Musk have no desire to help the people of the United States. They want only to help themselves even if it is at our expense.

Zaos Gonzolez

Actually, and factually, both Trump and Musk and the single most qualified persons on the planet to handle this. There are no other more qualified individuals.

The Constitution vests the power in the legislative branch to ensure decisions on war are made democratically, rather than by a single person.

It would take congress years to make a decision, and the amount of pork required would be phenomenal. Congress is dysfunctional.

Most congressmen are millionaires, but our nation is nearly $40 Trillion in debt.

Congress can't even pass a budget to fund the government.

Just maybe, some of the students could learn how to read, write, and learn a little bit about math. Their texting skills are already, just fine.

The fact that legislators would use this for political gain and schools would use this as a financial game (teaching to the tests so they get an A rating, which gives them more money, wash-rinse-repeat). is a no from me. Didn't they learn something from the failure of the No Child Left Behind?
