The money should be used to lower the national debt. That means not spending it. On anything.

The budget was, I think, 7 trillion last year.

5.6 trillion was MANDATORY.

Cutting discretionary 100 percent (not including military) would save 800 billion.

We ran a 2 trillion dollar deficit.

Slashing non military discretionary by 80 percent would save about 600 billion dollars.

Where's the other 1.4 trillion gonna come from?

I bet we could get the same out of our military for 600 billion as we do for 800 billion with the RIGHT spending.

Hell, 5 trillion has been LOST.

We can cut Medicaid and save 300 or 400 billion there..if we SLASH it big time.

That would be a savings of 600 billion from discretionary, 200 billion from the military and 300 billion from medicaid.

1.1 trillion.

Still gotta dig up 900 billion...I don't see how SS and Medicare can go untouched.

But what is happening is a GREAT, GREAT start

Agreed,
Will be interested to what DOGE finds when they audit dept of education “ education”

Imagine it will be much like USAID, money laundering operation.

Dims are in real trouble, they are on the wrong side of 80/20 issues, and their cash cows are being slaughtered

Notice how small their “protests” have been, no cash, no protesters

“The money should be used to lower the national debt. That means not spending it. On anything.”

I came here to post the same thing. We need to cut SPENDING! Not just keep increasing the huge huge national debt.
