Washington has a spending problem. The national debt is now more than $21 trillion and the deficit could reach $1 trillion next year.
Through his two budget requests to Congress, President Trump has proposed trillions of dollars in common-sense spending cuts. He has sought to eliminate outdated and ineffective programs across the federal government, ending the debt spiral.
Among the fiscal tools at Mr. Trump’s disposal is Title X of the 1974 Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act. That law gives the president authority to propose rescinding specific funding previously approved by Congress. Because such “rescissions” require Congress to pass new legislation, the law allows the president to freeze these funds for 45 days. Rescissions can be approved with simple majorities in both houses, meaning the Senate can’t block them with a filibuster.

Rescissions can be approved with simple majorities in both houses, meaning the Senate can’t block them with a filibuster. That takes away Paul Ryan's lie that the US House can't do anything because "it will not pass the Senate."
On and count down to the Hate Trump always trolls whining it not enough 3-2-1...

I voted for him because he is a businessman, and no other reason. America is a business, and the problem has been electing corrupt lawyers to run it. How can they run a business if they don’t know what it is? Fiscal idiocy.
I’m very happy PDJT is being America’s Businessman!
