The only ones who truly benefit from the #WarMachine are #Corporations! And this is further proof! My uncle was in the US Army and when he was discharged, he could fix just about anything electro-mechanical! But nooooo... We can't have folks fixing stuff themselves -- just buy new ones and waste #taxpayer money!
Congress Quietly Kills Military “#RightToRepair,” Allowing #Corporations to Cash In on *Fixing* Broken Products
Both chambers included Pentagon budget provisions for a right to repair, but they died after defense industry meetings on Capitol Hill.
by Matt Sledge, December 9 2025
"The idea of a 'right to repair' — a requirement that companies facilitate consumers’ #repairs, #maintenance, and modification of products — is extremely popular, even winning broad, bipartisan support in Congress. That could not, however, save it from the #MilitaryIndustrial complex.
"#Lobbyists succeeded in killing part of the National Defense Authorization Act [#NDAA] that would have given service members the right to fix their equipment in the field without having to worry about military suppliers’ intellectual property.
"The decision to kill the popular proposal was made public Sunday after a closed-door conference of top congressional officials, including defense committee chairs, along with Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D.
"Those meetings were secret, but consumer advocates say they have a pretty good idea of what happened.
" 'It’s pretty clear that defense contractors opposed the right-to-repair provisions, and they pressed hard to have them stripped out of the final bill,' said Isaac Bowers, the federal legislative director at #USPIRG. 'All we can say is that #DefenseContractors have a lot of influence on Capitol Hill.'
"The idea had drawn bipartisan support in both the House and Senate, which each passed their own versions of the proposal.
"Under one version, co-sponsored by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Sen. Tim Sheehy, R-Mt., defense companies would have been required to supply the information needed for repairs — such as technical data, maintenance manuals, engineering drawings, and lists of replacement parts — as a condition of Pentagon contracts.
"The idea was that no service member would ever be left waiting on a contractor to fly in from Norway to repair a simple part — which once happened — or, in another real-life scenario, told by the manufacturer to buy a new CT scanner in a combat zone because one malfunctioned.
"Instead of worrying about voiding a warranty, military personnel in the field could use a 3D printer or elbow grease to fix a part.
" 'The military is a can-do operation,' Bowers said. 'Service members can and should be able to repair their own equipment, and this will save costs if they can do it upfront and on time and on their schedule.' "

#KashPatel’s heavy use of #taxpayer-funded resources during his first nine months on the job has contributed to growing questions inside the admin about whether it exceeds the bounds of standard practice. This includes an intense use of security to protect himself & his girlfriend.
He has also used a government jet for some of his recreational travel, such as a golf trip with buddies to a private resort in Scotland over the summer.
#Trump is blatantly unconstitutionally stealing $230 million in #taxpayer money, but his craven #Republicans in #Congress & the #SupremeCourt will probably let him get away with it (for now) because this corrupt Kleptocracy was always their goal. They sold out America for greed because they're too stupid to realize they're destroying the value of all those US dollars they're desperately stuffing in their pockets at Americans' expense.

The NYT reported yesterday that #Trump has filed paperwork claiming that the #DOJ owes him roughly $230M in #taxpayer funds—damages that he claims are due to him in compensation for the federal investigations into his conduct related to the #Jan6 #insurrection & his improper hoarding of #ClassifiedDocuments at Mar-a-Lago. The #corruption is so obvious that even Trump himself seemed to acknowledge it when questioned by journalists about the Times’s reporting.
But last week, she got a notice that #Trump had fired her, effective immediately. The reason? A vague line about the admin’s changing priorities, according to two people familiar with the matter [well that’s true. They want to commit #fraud & #waste & #abuse their offices].
Salehi was the latest casualty ofTrump’s mass purge of govt #watchdogs, the investigators assigned to agencies across the admin who act as the eyes & ears of #Congress & ensure #taxpayer dollars are not misused.
The average budget for #USAID from 2001 - 2024 was around $23 billion. Now,
#Trump going to give $40 BILLION of #American #taxpayer's money to #Argentina!
#MAGA, is this what you voted for? To spend MORE on international aid?

“If you’re the #President of Argentina, Trump gives you a $20 billion #bailout. If you’re an American whose health care premiums are about to double? Tough luck.” - https://www.commondreams.org/news/40-billion-bailout-argentina
The '#Bailout' of billions of #US #taxpayer money donated to Argentina....
does not serve to 'save' the Argentine economy...
it was obvious..
because the 'bailout' was not REALLY to 'save' the Argentine economy
but in fact US taxpayers' money went to 'bailout', the 'investments' made in Argentina by American billionaires who got their money back (from the US taxpayers bailout)
before the Argentine economy collapse.

After losing billions of dollars on #KeystoneXL and tank cars, Alberta is pursuing another pipeline | CBC News
After months of Premier Danielle Smith vowing to find a company willing to develop a new #oil export pipeline, the Alberta government itself is taking the plunge.
As a result, Smith is the third Alberta premier in a row to commit #taxpayer money in an attempt to help the industry export more oil out of the province.
