According to Politico, “One week in, the Trump administration is broadening its assault on the functions of government and shifting control of the federal purse strings further away from members of Congress. President Donald Trump’s budget office Monday ordered a total freeze on ‘all federal financial assistance’ that could be targeted under his previous executive orders pausing funding for a wide range of priorities — from domestic infrastructure and energy projects to diversity-related programs and foreign aid. … The new order could affect billions of dollars in grants to state and local governments while causing disruptions to programs that benefit many households. There was also widespread confusion over how the memo would be implemented and whether it would face legal challenges. … The brief memo also does not detail all payments that will be halted. However, it broadly orders federal agencies to ‘temporarily’ stop sending federal financial assistance that could be affected by Trump’s executive actions.” And directly from the memo, “In Fiscal Year 2024, of the nearly $10 trillion that the Federal Government spent, more than $3 trillion was Federal financial assistance, such as grants and loans.”
Let’s be clear, f***tards, this order is a sledgehammer being used to cut costs when a scalpel should be used if you don’t want to — oh, let’s say — wreck the f***ing economy! And as is consistent with a sledgehammer, it does a lot of damage quickly that can’t be fixed easily. Do not believe this “temporary” claim! It’s B.S. Most of these funds will be turned off permanently or redirected to red states, leaving blue states poorer and suffering. It is no coincidence that the memo calls out $3 trillion in federal spending. If they target trillions of dollars in cut funding — even for 90 days — it will put America into a recession. Full stop, f***tards! Once these financial spigots are turned off, it’s not easy to simply restart the flow of funds again. It’s always easier to stop a thing than start a thing. But whatever! This is what people voted for, and no one f***ing cares.
In fact, most idiots in this country actually welcome this disruption, for the average American is a pathetic, bored person whose life has turned out to be a bitter disappointment. Thus, they felt the need to elect the entertainer-in-chief to amuse them while he turns the collective ire of American racists toward immigrants — for now, that is — to assuage their own empty lives. Well, soon enough, those empty American lives will be saddled with an economy in decline. Oh, well. Mark my words, morons. Mark them well. Welcome to stupid America. Dumb but entertained! Of course! I expected nothing less.
