A compromise bill? Does anybody remember DJT’s campaign promise to cut federal spending “17, 18, maybe 20%.” The only acceptable compromise would be a cut in federal spending by say 8-10%.
Not even Fox has raised this issue. He made this campaign promise. I watched it with my own eyes.
If I were in a position to do so, there is NOTHING I would enjoy more than taking a hacksaw to the federal budget.
That’s all well and good - but WHERE can that kind of cuts be made? Everyone has their pet project or area of government funding that they just won’t turn lose of.
How about taking a little peek at the Constitution for some guidelines as to what should and shouldn’t be part of the Federal government and its financial outlay of the PEOPLE’s money:
National Defense - #1 (and one of the few) legitimate and Constitutional expenditures we have.
Enforcement of imports and exports...
And little more is included in the standards Not food stamps. Not welfare. Not insurance (except I believe taking care of veterans who you promised care to is urgent). Social Security... nope Disability... Nope.
