(17,802 posts)Would vote for this piece of crap when he is saying they will cut $3T from the federal budget, shutting down entire agencies and gutting others, closing overseas bases and gutting the military.
The federal budget only has $1.7T in discretionary spending, including dod. Everything else is locked up as entitlements (ss, medicare, medicaide, etc).
Cutting that much will cripple the economies of va, md, dc, and de. Every state with a military base, a research facility, space or missile center, or government contractor base will go through a major recession.
The maga congress wont care. They will sell it as the biden bubble popping. The press, whats left of it will go along.
But the pain will be intense. And it is what they say they will do. Voters have to believe they were lying to vote for them.
