Chopping back the wasteful spending in the $1.3 trillion omnibus bill
Yesterday I wrote about how President Trump could cut the pork laden $1.3 trillion omnibus bill back to a reasonable size using "Impoundment".
Then today I saw this great graphic from Axios showing the funding requested by Trump compared to what Congress spent. The graphic above is just a small snapshot of the full graphic - so have a look at it for yourself.
At first I thought it was an April Fool's joke - but sadly it wasn't. It is an accurate window into the mind of Washington swamp monsters and how little they care about how they spend our money. Remember, they did not even read the $1.3 trillion omnibus bill before voting for it.
Mr Trump - the ball is now in your court - get cutting.
He'll either need to cut a bunch from this bill or stop kicking the can on medicare, medicaid, and social security (ponzi scheme) reform if he wants to go into the 2020 election year on solid financial ground.
There is hope. Just saw this article hit Politico:
Trump, McCarthy look to cut billions from budget deal they just passed
"White House officials are working closely with House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on the rescission package"
