I’d like to see what spending was actually cut. To my knowledge there has been none (debt ceiling increase in budget, for example). Identifying idiotic past payments don’t count as spending reductions. The recission package of 94 mill hasn’t been voted on yet.

“I’d like to see what spending was actually cut.”

***********

So would the ratings agencies. The DC spend-a-thon continues apace and hasn’t been overlooked by the ratings agencies:

Fitch lowered government debt from AAA to AA+ in August 2023.

Moody’s from Aaa to Aa1 in May 2025.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Standard & Poor’s lower theirs soon.

But none of that will stop the spending addiction IMO.

DOGE was soundly defeated by the uniparty swamp and jydves. This is why Musk was furious.
