The Trump administration seems to be wasting no time getting its financials in order. Just a few weeks into Donald Trump’s term, Trump tweeted that the debt had been lowered by $60 billion. Reports are also circulating that Trump’s first budget will oversee the largest reduction of the federal workforce since WWII.
So we know how Trump plans to save money. But how will he make it?
He certainly doesn’t seem to be willing to raise taxes very much. While he has suggested that he might be okay with a small tax increase on the rich, most of the government’s extra income seems contingent on a growing economy, not higher tax rates.
But that’s not their only plan.
The Trump Administration also seems to be eyeing unpaid debts held by foreign governments — some going back half a century.
Read about how the U.S. is demanding repayment for Cambodian bombings on the next page:
the only people trump didnt pay were the ones that did a crappy job. he builds all over the world and if he didnt pay who would work for him
They need to start paying their own way. No way we should have to foot the bill for everyone in the UN and that is what we are doing now
How about we just quit supporting these type of countries…and quit paying US debt ……
Collection action is necessary when a debtor shows no signs of trying to satisfy a debt.
this Country was Doomed the Second that pos$#%&!@*bill took office and we have not recovered yet fully because of the democrats b******t everytime we start making progress it is disrupted by dumbshit republicans are getting tired of this . It almost seems that they want to be raped and murdered and not have any Peace only chaos
Kind of hypocritical to say everyone should pay their bills when trump has refused to pay his bills for years.
So he wants Cambodia to pay us for bombing their country…good luck
Why should trump not pay those he owes?
They will get on that as soon as we pay all of our depts
Trump is painting the libs in a corner. “You cant expect them to pay for something that happened 50 yrs ago”
