Unless and until Congress does something about this, make no mistake that $1 trillion in Treasury outflows are halted. He's telling you his dumbass plan, right here
Have u directly called ANY of your elected? 24/7 u can leave a voxmail. CALLS get documented. 44 mn REPUB voters called in 1 day 2 stop the trump freeze of their benefits. What did YOU DO? Calls make big diff. Not social comments!
You don't reduce the deficit by cutting spending authorized by congress and administer by the Treasury and the Fed. That is simply cutting off a cash flow to the public. The debt still exists because the government is forced to borrow at interest rather than tax the people who have money.
*even if* Congress does something, given the administration’s views on impoundment as a core constitutional power of the executive (and whichever unelected billionaires he delegates those powers to).
Impoundment is illegal and must be stopped. We already have a restraining order against it.
If we have evidence of illegal impoundment going on, or of the administration ignoring court orders, Musk and his cronies need to be dragged into court to answer for their very literally criminal behavior.
I dunno, federal marshals. I'm not going to utter one word assuming these cuts are allowed, legal, or going to happen. They should be identified and opposed every single step of the way.
And that goes double when the cuts are being directed by somebody who isn't even part of the government, which I think it what is actually going on here. Private Citizen Elon Musk has taken it upon himself to cancel government payments under no authority but his own.
