It would be so funny if it didn’t make so clear the sickening sad reality of just how many people have attributed Trump’s utter incompetent crazy pettiness to some imagined grand strategy.

Btw the exaggerated savings of $110 billion is about 1.7% of the 6.3 trillion fed budget. The real amount $10 billion is about .16%.
Really seems worth all the chaos, huh? not to mention the lives and livelihoods lost

Yes incredible coincidence! Remarkable likeness. Hit me right away when I saw your post and suspected it was intentional.

I did a jazz guitar version of this song, if you are interested (originally a Gerry and the Pacemakers song but I’ve always loved RLJ’s version)

Also find her song Shakin’ Up a very entertaining immersion into the 70s. youtu.be/O3TxWcuAvsI?...

These large numbers can be hard to fathom and politicians know how to exploit this. While the $35M worth of “wasteful” spending sounds huge, the USAID budget is $40B, more than $1000 times this amount (40 with 9 zeros). But that’s a mere 1/150th of the $6T US annual budget (6 with 12 zeros).
