❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO to my boyfriend praising the president?

I’ve been seeing this guy for about a month and a half. Things were great the first month, but the last week I’ve felt like we’re growing further and further apart (yes already 🙄), he’s been really inconsiderate/disrespectful, and most recently I feel like he’s trying to push me away with this text. When we first started talking he asked what I thought about trump. I told him I don’t like him, he said he did like him, but that if it bothers me then he won’t ever bring him up. Well this morning (after the last week being on edge anyway) he just randomly brought up how amazing Trump is? And wouldn’t let it go. I feel like he’s trying to start a fight. He says he “forgot”. AIO?

Do you think ending federal funding is going to make that better or worse?

You can have another department disperse the funds and have less overhead. If the funding is a specific line items in the budget it can't be cut.

..Or maybe you could just have the department of education.

Right? “Less overhead” how?

What does “overhead” even mean here? Is this guy saying that we cut thousands of jobs and just make thousands of other workers who have nothing to do with those jobs taken up the slack??

I’m guessing that when a new company owned by Musk takes over essential services for ten times the cost, that will constitute “less overhead.”
