Smaller govt? Did I miss the memo that a few agencies/departments/rules creating groups/etc. were zero-budget’d, disbanded and shut-down??
Maybe I missed the news where the debt and govt budget actually DECREASED (not a ‘reduction in the rise of’ IE: They got 4% instead of 5%)?
Govt is like a worm: You may cut off a piece, or even in half but, eventually, it WILL grow back.
“What is good for the United States is good for the rest of the world,” has been Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin’s mantra.
Highlighting this quote based on comments I’ve exchanged with some people here in the past:
Mnuchin’s mantra is what I always took “America First” and MAGA to mean: not isolationism, but an internally strong America leading and inspiring the world by example. When we act out of self-interest, it ends up being in the world’s best interest as well.
