    Gotta spend what we’re saving on social services somehow.

      Pretty sure we’re still spending more money than was saved.

      Don’t forget most of the “savings” actually cost us - like firing IRS workers who bring in like $10 for every $1 spent on salary, or canceling contracts where we already paid for things not received. .

        The weird thing is, that’s off-brand for Trump. He prefers to not pay for things he did receive.
