I think that chart is a great place to start and I admit the problem. But nominal dollars don’t prove that “the government is the biggest ever”. The spending number includes SS, Medicare, and Defense. You have to start breaking it down. Your problem is with people being healthy and living longer. Then tell us how cutting 200,000 workers with an avg salary of 100,000 is going to make that all better. It isn’t even a rounding error.

It’s a shotgun approach and I’m sure a ton of hard working great people are getting caught in the crossfire.

Probably should put this in another thread, since there's about four going on all talking about budget cuts. And most will be locked soon. It's a long read, but a deep dive into how to solve some of our problems. There's a lot of good stuff in here that while difficult to execute is stuff we could all likely agree on.
If you want a fun random side story, back in 2001 I had recently moved to Connecticut from Washington and was working at a restaurant in South Norwalk. I had re-enrolled in school to get an accounting degree. One Saturday in December a company decided to rent the whole restaurant out for a flat fee. It was some company called Bridgewater. I barely knew what a hedge fund was at the time, let alone who Ray was. The party was pretty chaotic, multiple HR violations, but at one point I ended up bringing two glasses of Bordeaux to Ray, and he chatted with me for a minute. I don't remember too much of the conversation other than him asking me about school. He was kind and seemed sincere and when I walked away my manager asked me what we talked about and if I knew who that was. I kind of shrug my shoulders and said "okay", it took me about 10 years to put it together.

Call up Ray and ask him what he thinks about grizzly bear hunting in Wyoming.Probably should put this in another thread, since there's about four going on all talking about budget cuts.

"Capt. Clark and Drewyer killed the largest brown bear this evening which we have yet seen. it was a most tremendious looking anamal, and extreemly hard to kill notwithstanding he had five balls through his lungs and five others in various parts he swam more than half the distance across the river to a sandbar & it was at least twenty minutes before he died; he did not attempt to attact, but fled and made the most tremendous roaring from the moment he was shot. We had no means of weighing this monster; Capt. Clark thought he would weigh 500 lbs. for my own part I think the estimate too small by 100 lbs. he measured 8 Feet 7½ Inches from the nose to the extremety of the hind feet, 5 F. 10½ Inch arround the breast, 1 F. 11 I. arround the middle of the arm, & 3 F. 11 I. arround the neck; his tallons which were five in number on each foot were 4⅜ Inches in length. he was in good order, we therefore divided him among the party and made them boil the oil and put it in a cask for future uce; the oil is as hard as hogs lard when cool, much more so than that of the black bear. this bear differs from the common black bear in several respects; it's tallons are much longer and more blont, it's tale shorter, it's hair which is of a redish or bey brown, is longer thicker and finer than that of the black bear; his liver lungs and heart are much larger even in proportion with his size; the heart particularly was as large as that of a large Ox. his maw was also ten times the size of black bear, and was filled with flesh and fish. his testicles were pendant from the belly and placed four inches assunder in seperate bags or pouches.— this animal also feeds on roots and almost every species of wild fruit."

Have you seen the House budget proposal, the Big Beautiful Bill that still has $4T in annual deficit spending? The chainsaw approach isn't actually paying down debt; it's just funding even more tax breaks for the ultra-rich and corporations, but I'm sure someday that trickle is going to finally reach a few hungry mouths down here in the real world.Probably should put this in another thread, since there's about four going on all talking about budget cuts. And most will be locked soon. It's a long read, but a deep dive into how to solve some of our problems.

Much concern personally because I have little faith in anything out of D.C. past couple years now. Silver lining, delisting of Great Lakes region wolves?

What were the new USFWS director's past stances on cutthroat trout conservation? There has been a lot of work on cutthroat trout genetics in the last couple of decades that has fundamentally changed our understanding of how many species/subspecies of cutthroat trout there are (4 species with 24 total subspecies, 2 of which are extinct). Some cutthroat trout species are doing okay-ish, but others are in rough shape (San Juan, green lineage Colorado River, Greenback, John Day and Upper Missouri Westslope cutthroats). If you read the conservation reports for these fish, you read a lot of mentions of things like "genetic rescue" when talking about tiny fragmented populations on the brink of disappearing from the landscape. It isn't good, and I am hoping the new director will take a sympathetic view.
