I love what President Trump is doing to keep us safe, but he has never seemed to be interested in addressing the spiraling national debt. DOGE cut only a miniscule amount of money printing.
I know that Congress is the real villain here but the president could use his bully pulpit to get the ball rolling.
The debt will kill us before Iran does.

An absolutely futile gesture.

Our "representatives" in Congress have no intention of cutting government spending in any amount. And they know full well that if they did have such intentions and acted on them, they would never be re-elected. Their sponsors would make sure of that.

The best we can expect is that certain factions of the sponsors will try to cut funding for organizations controlled by their opponents.
