Why?
“Why? “
Ask Trump; everyone says he controls the GOP in Congress and the GOP in Congress controls the Congress and Congress “controls” federal spending by what its legislation says is and is not possible. Oh wait; Trump has said nothing about reducing the debt and deficit or offered a balanced budget way out of it. But a few GOPers in Congress have, but Trump has not gone along with them or pushed the whole GOP to go along with them.
Trump will be like all the recent Presidents before him - pass the debt and deficit problem off to his successors.
