This is not true. A GOOD President can VETO the entire budget except Defense. At that point maximum PRESSURE is dialed up. NOBODY will be able to cash a check even if they get one. That day will come one way or another no matter what is done or not don

It wouldn't work. The powers that be would rather see it all burn down than allow their fiefdoms to be affected.

I think George Washington probably heard ten times a day ...”it won’t work”.

I’ve been in the business of disbursing large sums of money for 50 years. Attitudes change when the guy signing the checks (in this case Trump) says something like “tough shit boys”....”the game is over”.....”it’s my way or the highway”.

Indeed, cutting off the money is THE ONLY way anything will change and yes a lot of people will be pissed off and I’m sure there will be some gunfire in the streets but that is where this country is.
