Heck, you guys get pissed when he tries to stop spending.

Now you say he is spending more. I would love to see an explanation of that. Sounds like the agencies are trying to get cash out the door to Stacey Abrams and company before he can stop it.

Whatever. My position is this: Cut all spending as much as possible. Nothing should survive at least a partial cut. But, you guys say that is unconstitutional, and Congress has to do that. Maybe. And if so, we are definitely fucked as a country, because Congress definitely won't do that. So, you can keep blaming him for it, I guess.

Evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant, then it tries to silence good.

    - Ha! Asinine comment. US just lost its last aaa rating. - NedoftheHill - 3:52pm 5/18/25

        Dumb. US was downgraded under 2025 budget submitted by Biden admin. Sofar Trump hasn't spent 1 penny - Eli - 9:08pm 5/18/25
        It happened under Trump’s watch and yes, past administrations… - Domer From Hell - 10:50pm 5/18/25
        THis is the last major agency to downgrade. Others did it for other administrations. - NedoftheHill - 12:22pm 5/21/25
        
        And it’s deserved. Even without pandemic spending, he increased the deficit more than anyone else. - Frank L - 4:08pm 5/18/25
        Trump’s chaos has resulted in a loss of confidence in US. Hence, the downgrade. [NT] [LINK] - conorlarkin - 5:29am 5/19/25
        
        Only president from either party trying to stop spending; you oppose his efforts; criticize him... - NedoftheHill - 4:34pm 5/18/25
        Trying to stop spending? BS. He won’t touch the things that need to be done. Reform - Frank L - 5:06pm 5/18/25
        Then this is a non-issue if he is taking the Dem position. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 7:34pm 5/18/25

        So, you think he wants to spend as much as Dems? - NedoftheHill - 7:41pm 5/18/25
        He spends more. - Frank L - 8:37pm 5/18/25

        He approves, agrees to and signs the budget dummy. - Frank L - 11:22am 5/19/25
        Ah. So Congress acts. He doesn't do it himself. Granted, Congress hasn't done that since 1996. - NedoftheHill - 12:17pm 5/21/25
