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.

It’s high time other countries start paying the American taxpayers back!! This is the exact reason why I voted Trump!! #makeamericagreatagian
If America was to receive what we are owed we could pay China every thing we owe them i one check!!
Why make them pay for us being there and destroying their country? Why were we there?
Just think how this reimbursement could help our veterans.
Pay up bitches
Don’t join the club if you can’t pay the dues.
There is a lot of talk about repaying past expenses for “defending” a country. I agree that it will not happen but we can STOP giving out foreign aid yearly to countries that don’t even like the USA.
How stupid can we be to throw good money at a bad situation?
Get our money
Not a free ride anymore.
Okay. Forgive all those who owe us. Then zero foreign aid for anyone while we fix our economy.
