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.

What we need to do is stop allowing our government to give OUR damned tax money to countries who don’t deserve it, then keep raising the debt ceiling with reckless impunity!!! We don’t hold them accountable for ANYTHING they do and it’s the people who keep suffering the consequences. The things our government does as routine are seditious and treasonous at best…..stacks of behaviors the we just let happen and then blame each other for the fall out. The most frightening thing is that the people at large can’t seem to identify ANY problem with it. No conflict of interest to be seen… you don’t give a crook the keys to the vault then punish and tax the account holders for a robbery! You don’t blame a gun company for the shooting at the bank. You don’t expect a country to be run properly if all you do is eat popcorn and watch the corrupt at work. Just for our notes: common sense doesn’t die or go away or stop being equitable, it just stops getting used….a conscious choice.
Pay the bill Kung Poa !
or we will MOAB your noodle hole !
“Source: SMH” okay…. that is all I need to know. Pay up suckers.
Jason, a quick Google search will verify this. Butlers pretend it’s all just his name, pretty damn good idea if you can sale the use of your name alone. It was given to him and now he rents it out. That seems successful to me.
