Ok so we're 36 Trillion dollars in debt. How much can we save if we cut out all foreign aid?

40-70 billion (annual)? That's if we cut every dime.

Sure, cut the silly shit, but that's not going to fix the debt.

As far as the countries that get aid, I'm sure China will be happy to step in and help them out.

Wasn't Trump v1 the guy who added something like 7trillion bucks to the debt?

Maybe he should just cancel himself and save us from Trump v2?

Now he wants to cut it. What's your beef? You fools bitched when he ran up debt (but not, BTW, when Dementia Joe ran up even more debt) and now you are bitching when he wants to cut it. Normal people would choose one or the other. But not you imbeciles. Debt is a great thing under a pro-slaver president. So is deficit reduction. But both are bad under a Republican. This is one of many reasons why people hate progs and are leaving the pro-slaver party in droves.

All for legitimate audits and reporting to congress to make the cuts.

Now he wants to cut it.

And yet he wants to raise the debt limit? Please explain.

The MAGAs have a majority in the House and Senate.
Why aren't they proposing these cuts and instead allowing a rogue dictator to trample the Constitution?

Where would be the chaos to provide cover for what they are really trying to do?

No, he didn't. There is no end to the hoaxes you idjits fall for. I'd tell you to carefully read your link, but it wouldn't matter.

Trump fully intends to reduce our revenues, raise our spending, shrink to government enough to get his hands around and kill it. He will be the only one who can fix it, his old familiar mantra. Once our institutions and courts have been eliminated (wasteful? No loyalty? Unnecessary?) or replaced with quislings along for the ride, trump will fabricate more enemies for more solutions and he will be the only solution every time. Every time it happens, his concentration of power grows and resistance becomes irrelevant and dangerous. He's not here to shrink to the government or stop waste, he's here to kill it and make it his bitch like he did to the GOP.

Cutting Medicare to fund tax cuts for the rich. It's all in the presentation. Create the cuts and then claim the only place to look is Medicare, Medicaid, social security, snap, and school lunches.
