>he is authentic in his attempt to reduce deficit and lower the debt for the US while increasing growth.
The only way he is being authentic is if he is an idiot.
If he knew what he was talking about and was being authentic, he wouldn’t be publicly stating that he is going to cut $2 trillion from the budget.
Payroll for the entire Federal civilian workforce is only $300 billion.
I guess he could just be suffering from delusions of grandeur and he think he’s going to be able to eliminate Social Security, Medicare, or the Military.
He's planning on going after Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. That's the only way to cut that much from the budget. Republicans have been transparent about their desire to remove the social safety nets for awhile now.
I think both parties know entitlements need to be changed. No current way to manage.
So then he’s delusional because he thinks he can come up with someway to cut $2 trillion from those programs that anyone will vote for.
