The cost cutting is vaporware. The rising costs on all of us are not.

The “billionaire businessman” who inherited a fortune and who would have done better putting his money in an investment fund?

I’ve seen very little cost cutting that matters in that $35 trillion dollar debt. But I’ve seen plenty of cutting social programs that will result in much misery. And trashing of long standing allies and economic partners.

For fun go and look at the history of the ups and downs of that $35 trillion dollar debt, and which administrations it shrank and grew under.

As for “billionaire businessman”, I’ll go with real estate swindler and gangster. And insurrectionist too.
