As I've said from the get go...this is all smoke and mirrors that suddenly the government is going to just stop spending money. They are just going to reallocate it to the things they want and spend more.

I don't think it's smoke and mirrors. The debt limit and deficit are separate things.

While that's true, it creates more opportunity for political mischief and financial trouble. Originally Posted by waggy

I'm afraid we are beyond truly fixing our financial situation short of getting into healthcare and social security, because otherwise it would take bipartisan support to do so. This where the blame game gets run out, and it's why the dems were saying Trump wanted to cut into these programs. Some said he would have to, some said he wanted to.

Lets say you cut some of those programs to help reduce the debt going forward. Originally Posted by waggy

This is stuff is maybe too complicated for me, but I think the answer is cash flow. Originally Posted by paulxu

Because we've already been "hidden taxed" enough with Bidenflation. That was/is, in fact, not transitory. It never was or is if you understand how inflation works. Originally Posted by paulxu

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announces that $20 billion in taxpayer funds were just discovered, laundered into in external financial institutions managed by agents of the Biden Admin to finance left wing NGOs.
“$7 billion was sent to an entity called the Climate United Fund.”
But Zeldin has now clawed back the money and referred the case to the Department of Justice. Boom.
