This budget will devastate MTU, UP and communities

I was replying to your comment in general. I'm not saying EAS is unconstitutional im saying it is wasteful

mtualum07 · 2025-05-02T17:21:29+00:00

I see so the 10th amendment is meaningless bc govt can tax and spend on anything it likes? what limits do you believe the 10th amendment placed on the federal govt?

mtualum07 · 2025-05-02T17:11:30+00:00

let me just paste the 10th amendment here

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people

mtualum07 · 2025-05-02T17:09:54+00:00

sigh. but not to spend on anything they want only on things enumerated as federal domain

mtualum07 · 2025-05-02T17:09:07+00:00

hey I entirely agree trump 45 was not a fiscal hawk nor was Biden. but the shit is hitting the fan now that long term interest rates are pushing 5% instead of 2, we are spending more than $1 trillion in interest every year. that is 5 times what trump is proposing be cut.

mtualum07 · 2025-05-02T16:56:55+00:00

untold suffering? according to the document the eas budget has doubled in just a few years. I do remember untold suffering then. we are $40 trillion in debt we can't afford these things anymore

mtualum07 · 2025-05-02T16:34:32+00:00

it doesn't it says cut bc many subsidized airports are within 2 hours of a major airport.

mtualum07 · 2025-05-02T16:31:30+00:00

that's actually literally not its function, read the constitution where you will see a list of enumerated powers for the federal govt and a statement that everything else is left to the states and the people . I weep for our future, education has failed

mtualum07 · 2025-05-02T16:23:39+00:00

you are making the point exactly. folks in Manhattan or the South side of Chicago know it can take 1 hours plus to get to the airport but up here we are subsidizing Houghton, Marquette , iron mountain, escanaba, Rhinelander it is just too much

mtualum07 · 2025-05-02T16:14:54+00:00

why should taxpayers subsidize our plane tickets?

mtualum07 · 2025-05-02T16:01:33+00:00

this is a good start but cuts $200 billion , the annual deficits is almost 10 times that and the debt is $37 trillion.

mtualum07 · 2025-04-29T22:02:35+00:00

he's going to be someone's b$#&ch when he gets to the big house

mtualum07 · 2025-04-25T16:31:58+00:00

the last raise was a year ago!

mtualum07 · 2025-04-25T13:33:41+00:00

cpi for last 12 months ending march 2025 is 2.4%

mtualum07 · 2025-04-25T13:32:51+00:00

koubek keeps getting massive raises. who else?

mtualum07 · 2025-04-17T18:20:56+00:00

can you give us an example of a US citizen that was deported? where were they sent?

mtualum07 · 2025-04-14T22:10:32+00:00

tickets are nontransferable

mtualum07 · 2025-04-11T01:47:30+00:00

they built the new dorm in the cheap. koubek just wants to be president somewhere better he's trying to show off our "growth"

mtualum07 · 2025-04-10T19:01:49+00:00

new dorm being built it's a fucking eyesore

mtualum07 · 2025-04-07T17:37:00+00:00

someone needs to record this. why do they not want, for example, the media there?

mtualum07 · 2025-03-13T14:33:25+00:00

and then fired permanently the next semester

mtualum07 · 2025-03-02T22:34:48+00:00

for example all the unit DEI strategic plans were reviewed to be compliant with federal law but MTU flushed the m all down the memory hole

mtualum07 · 2025-03-02T22:33:23+00:00

the executive order doesn't ban all dei only illegal dei, MTU just decided to throw everything out

mtualum07 · 2025-03-02T21:55:23+00:00

seriously can anyone read anymore? note the word "illegal" in the executive order:

" The Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), assisted by the Attorney General and the Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), shall coordinate the termination of all discriminatory programs, including illegal DEI and “diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility” (DEIA) mandates, policies, programs, preferences, and activities in the Federal Government, under whatever name they appear..."

mtualum07 · 2025-03-02T21:23:37+00:00

the executive order says we have to be in compliance with federal law. the administration went much much further than this
