Biden reverses Trump last-minute attempt to freeze $27.4 billion of programs
Source: The Hill
President Biden on Sunday sent a letter to congressional leaders reversing former President Trump's last-minute attempt to freeze $27.4 billion in government programs.
Trump had moved, with less than a week left in his term, to freeze the billions in federal funding using a budget maneuver called rescission.
I am withdrawing 73 proposed rescissions previously transmitted to the Congress, Biden said in the letter.
The 73 budget reductions that Trump had called for were spread across almost every Cabinet-level agency and mostly lined up with his proposed cuts to domestic program spending in the 2021 federal budget that were rejected by Congress.

Thank you Prez. Biden for catching this one so quick!
Trump was working hard to destroy the federal government.
