I think $10.5 Trillion is what Michelle spend on her last vacation.
“$10.5T”
Large as federal spending is, it’s not $10.5T per year.
I assume that means “over 10 years”, which is a common metric that perpetually irritates me because (A) it’s always back-loaded to when everyone will have forgotten about it and completely changed the plans, and (B) the President advocating the plan _will_ be gone from budgetary involvement no later than 8 years - so why is he talking about 10 years, as if his successor will consent to implementing the hardest part of his likely-opposition predecessor’s plan?
I’m interested in what Mr. President (whoever he may be) will do THIS year. If that’s cutting spending (not budget, but actual spending) by $1T (vs last year) I’ll be thrilled.
Oh yeah, welcome back from your five year sabbatical.
It’s about time, and I hope this is just a warm-up for the elimination of much larger and unnecessary agencies. Defunding PBS and Planned Parenthood would be absolutely wonderful.
Good. I taught English literature in the College of Arts and Sciences at NYU for 50 years. But there was certainly never the faintest chance that I would ever get a grant from those P.C. perverts. And every year things got worse.
I got on very well with my students, and taught as I wished, but it was always a dodgy game with the Powers that Be.
Fantastic!! How much federal tax money goes to NPR?? Slay dragons one at a time.........;)
Cut Cut Cut!!!
... If only California had an actor that could say that line.. but I don’t recall one ,, just some losers fighting climate change, and as big a wastrels as ever held office...
and now Trump.. perhaps setting the stage for the largest cuts ever..
Time for America’s political class to go on a series diet.. or risk dying as a pauper in a partisan ditch facedown with no political capital and a hugh pile of debt on top of them.
Place yur bets. The bar is Open. The smoke lamp is lit.
This is so awesome.
I am somewhat involved in the arts and taking that funding away from the leftist cronies would be huge.
A free market in the arts would be a massive breath of fresh air.
I PRAY!!!!
