Imagine that? Being asked to spend within your means.

Not one penny more. Let Fed.gov operate with the many $$ Trillions it collects in taxes.

Welp, I guess its time to tell Ukraine, 'sorry, but we're broke'.
Of course the caterwauling by Lindsey and the other DC critters on the war gravy train (and Ukraine money laundering machine) would be loud.
But, be that as it may, we have to make cuts - and the dollars sent to fund some war, not in our backyard, is an easy call.

Stop paying the Senators and Congresscritters first. Then everybody in the DoE, EPA, BATF, FBI, und-und-und. No deferral BS, just don’t pay them.

Gee, what happens when we’re all short on cash is we stop spending.

For fiscal year 2022, interest on the national debt amounted to 8% of federal spending.

It’s going to be about the same for 2023.

So why aren’t they tapping into that other 92% to prevent default on the debt?

The answer must be because it’s more important to spend millions of your money on invading illegal alien “migrants” and to pay for Ukraine’s war with Russia.

“The Biden administration and congressional Republicans are making progress in their negotiations over federal spending and raising the debt limit, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said, adding that she believes the talks could result in an agreement.

“I’m hopeful. I think the negotiations are very active. I’m told they have found some areas of agreement,” Ms. Yellen said in an interview Saturday at the end of a gathering of finance ministers from the Group of Seven advanced democracies in Japan.”
