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:
Trump has a lot guts asking someone to pay back a debt. He is constantly being sued for that very reason. This man is a hypocrit of epic proportions.
At least he knows the difference. Its tax payer money Obama gave away for kickbacks.
Where do you think the money our government has comes from?
That means California doesn’t need to pay for Mississippi debts.
Yeah let’s get all our money back from all these other countries but don’t forget the trillions and trillions of dollars we owed to China
That cockeyed beast is probably responsible for a lot of misery.
And yet this creep doesn’t pay his own bills.
Smart move would be to pay us, then submit a bill for the cleanup and remediation for the Agent Orange missions to Cambodia, from April 18–May 2, 1969, when 173,000 acres of French and Cambodian rubber plantations in Kampong Cham Province. Tracers work both ways. Old military axiom.
I can read it for the dam adds I hate it when they do that
Trump just Tweeted about protesters asking for his tax returns!! He literally can’t ignore a bunch of granola eating, tree-hugging, out of work losers with nothing better to do? Really, no more pressing issues as president? This is who you voted for?!?!!!!!
