The billions upon billions we waste, given away to foreign aid and other garbage that does not benefit the American people is staggering. Pull that money back and use it to lower the bills passed.
If we offset the $2.2 trillion CARES Act by eliminating all foreign aid, we would end up with a $2.14 trillion bill. If we then offset it further by cutting all other “discretionary” spending, including defense, in half, we would still end up with a $1.5 trillion bill.
Unless the “other garbage” being pulled back is Medicare and Medicaid, we aren’t going to get there.
