It's anybody's guess as to what will come out of the House of Representatives, from whence all federal spending flows. As for the spending levels, it's good to see some spending reductions, but to fix our national fiscal problems, those cuts will have to be magnified tenfold or more.

Actually, to fix our national fiscal problems, we need to have a whole new crop of politicians and judges who do not hate America and whose goal is not to destroy it.

Looks good.
Unfortunately, to balance the budget, we need to cut like 10x more!

It looks like we’re headed in the right direction - just wish we could get back to a 2019 baseline

I’m thinking that PDJT is asking for a 26% cut but will be happy with 12-15%. Doing this for three years straight will be awesome.

Lots of NGOs and their congressional support systems should be terminated. I wouldn’t mind if a few of the actual people involved were also.

My favorite part of the budget is the money going to the United Nations.

Zero dollars.

That is the only correct answer!

A proposed budget step in the right direction! (-$139.9 Billion)...but $1.66 Trillion short of balanced. Unfortunately it is most likely “a bridge too far” to fix at this stage...the $139.9 billion represents the lowest hanging fruit of possible cuts...the next $1.6 Trillion will be much harder with limited time (1-3 years). PDJT/DOGE is giving it an unprecedented attempt never before seen in the modern age but I fear that we are past the point of no return...the money printer goes “burrrrrrr”.

We all know that no president gets what he ask for in their proposed budget.

Be interesting what the budget that passes looks like.

Thanks to @POTUS, common sense leadership has been restored.

Something We Haven’t Seen in Decades.

Worth repeating and often.

A lesson worth learning for anyone going into politics or business.
