You left out some important details. Schumer and Jeffries are demanding $1.4 trillion dollars in new spending to keep the government funded. Most of the spending priorities of the new spending are for programs that voters voted against in the 2024 elections.
Our country is $37 trillion dollars in debt and Schumer/Jeffries response to a clean spending bill to fund the government is to demand $1.4 trillion dollars in new spending. In response, the Administration is proposing spending cuts to decrease the budget deficit. Your readers deserve the whole story and the IBJ needs to do better.
Oh suddenly conservatives care about fiscal responsibility again. Wild.
The whole story? The whole story is that Republicans, every single time they have control of government, make the deficit far worse. That’s a fact. If Republicans were actually serious about the deficit, they wouldn’t always make their first order of business yet another tax cut on the backs of their voters. You’d bump up revenues AND decrease spending.
It’s not about the deficit. It’s about rolling back any and every single government program since FDR with the false claim “we can’t afford it”. We could easily afford it, we’ve chosen not to. Republicans want it to be 1927 again.
I say give Trump voters what they’re voting for, immediately. Shut down Social Security and Medicare at the end of the year. Let them feel what “winning” feels like.
