Like they’ve done more damage to businesses with the tariff threats to Canada and Mexico than they’ll ever save in these “cuts”. Republicans first budget under “Trump priorities” is 4.5 trillion dollars of DEFICIT spending. None of the proposed tax plans balance anything, 100% in the red. They’ve left our networks open to foreign adversaries and weakened NATO.
…but there’s always somebody who says “yeah, but that’s not what they MEANT”. I don’t get it.
It is crazy. It is completely reckless. I’m not saying it’s ok or that I agree. I’m simply pointing out that this is a clear and obvious negotiation tactic. It’s a pattern that Trump and Musk have both followed over and over in their career.
I’m saying, if you don’t want the cuts, DON’T FALL FOR IT. DON’T LET THEM ANCHOR HERE. Congress has the power of the purse, not DOGE. These 50% cuts will be as real as self driving Teslas.
