DC and surrounding counties would go into a depression if Trump did this.
When was the last time we had a monthly surplus?
Clinton supposedly ran some surpluses, but then I heard later it was more due to juggling of books than tightening of belts.
As the Milei experiment proves itself, it is assured that the example will spread, and be raged at by the many, high-paid extraneous in government.
Awesome. Reminds me of the success of Pinochet’s economic reforms back in the day, but of course without some of the accompanying unpleasantness.
Economic or mental.
Oh yeah, both.
Last 2 years of the Clintoon admin. was “budget friendly”/balanced due to “The Contract With America”, Newt Gingrich, GOP, etc.. (Welfare reform & tax cuts):

The wrong Argentine got elected pope in 2013. We should have had this guy.
You mean common sense actually works for government!
That means for decades the American public has been lied to on an epic scale. Fiscal responsibility can save a nation! What do you think will happen in DC if it’s initiated here in the USA?
Good for Argentina, they have a chance now to get out of poverty and give there children a future. Perhaps people will pay attention here.
Oh I dunno. I think Pinochet's program of giving free helicopter rides to Commies was awesome!
“Argentinian President Javier Milei’s figurative chainsawing of the government bureaucracy...”
He must be the next generation of Chainsaw Al. Who is Chainsaw Al, you ask?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_J._Dunlap
Albert John Dunlap (July 26, 1937 – January 25, 2019) was an American corporate executive. He was known at the peak of his career as a professional turnaround management specialist and downsizer. The mass layoffs at his companies earned him the nicknames “Chainsaw Al” and “Rambo in Pinstripes”, after he posed for a photo wearing an ammo belt across his chest.
We could do it too, if the DS weren’t hell bent on destroying this country.
Maybe we should emigrate to Argentina.....
Some departments that need to be completely abolished are the TSA, DHS, DoE, to name a few. Many, or the rest, need to be completely overhauled.
Could never do that here now far too many people on the dole, the grift is too lucrative. If DJT cuts that off, the riots would be titanic.
When you say DoE, do you mean Education or Energy? Or preferably both?
From what I saw, you ar ecorrect.
There is a .gov website that shows the debt and annual deficit every year since like 1950...and if you look at the Clinto years....each year we still were running a deficit and adding to the debt. It got close to balanced...but not quite.
But...on the flip side, in was actually Gringrich’s budget..that I believe Clinton vetod a couple times before he signed it...that got the budget that close to balanced.
You are correct.
Why not both?
Book a trip to Argentina and boost their economy!
