You don’t have Congress massively overspend expecting to somehow claw it back. The only leverage they have to cut spending is now, to get Trump’s initiatives funded.
Not going to happen that way. Wake up, smell the roses. It hasn’t happened because the Congress critters are on lobbyist & donors payrolls.
As we are able to pass Trump priorities his leverage increases. NGO are defunded, the money to buy politicians dries up, corrupt players are exposed and removed, the organs the left has as slush funds are closed down.
As this process plays out the cuts in spending will have much better opportunities to be enacted.
Donald Trump has been and continues to be committed to a balanced budget as well as paying down the debt. In his first term McCain and others successfully obstructed much of his reductions although his actions revitalized the economy and started the process, the left’s covid attack shut him down.
Trump is setting in motion all of the things that will make the balanced budget & retiring of the debt a reality. The Fed is working against him but they will eventually fold and hopefully be audited. The re-shoring of manufacturing, $10 trillion so far in investment in the US economy, tariffs, cuts in regulations and myriad other actions will result in a significant increase in tax revenues as they did in his first term. That coupled with the focus on streamlining and decreasing the size of government will move the US towards fiscal health. But it all starts with the BBB.
