President Donald Trump’s budget office on Monday ordered all federal agencies to temporarily block disbursement of grants and loans — other than for Social Security, Medicare and other programs providing direct aid to individuals.
The memo says the temporary pause, effective starting at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, is intended to ensure agencies are complying with Trump’s executive orders to root out “Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies” from programs within their purview.
It’s not immediately clear how wide-ranging the pause will be in practice, due to the Office of Management and Budget’s ability to grant exceptions on a “case-by-case basis,” language exempting direct aid to individuals and a clause that states the pause is subject to what’s “permissible under applicable law.”

This is an excellent way to “follow the money” and see where it went.
An analogy:
Many decades ago I was in the cable TV business. Many individuals used to steal the service in those days.
It was totally crazy is seasonal areas (like northern beach communities) which had very few residents in the winter and were overrun with temporary residents in the summer.
If we did nothing we would find that we did not gain very many customers in the summer. Folks just stole the existing service.
The “cure” was rather straightforward. We disconnected all of the larger multi-family buildings at the beginning of summer and waited for the phone to ring.
Legitimate paying customers were quickly turned back on...and amazingly we started a get a lot of new paying customers who wanted their service.
Lol.
They overspend by ridiculous amounts. I think this is a way to curb it
