        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

        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
        Huh? Are you nuts? [NT] - Frank L - 8:38pm 5/18/25
        Just more Red Herring from Mr. Disingenuous...one of his go-to exit tactics when losing an argument. [NT] - TyroneIrish - 6:03pm 5/19/25

        Yeah, about that [NT] [LINK] - Domer From Hell - 5:06pm 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
        How do you think he does that? He doesn't have the power to do it. - NedoftheHill - 9:39pm 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
