Because it’s not a drop in the bucket, it’s not even a droplet of mist

There are so many things to clean up before you get to this

Given that, Idy pose the same question to you, why prioritize cutting this?

I would almost consider this public infrastructure and we should definitely keep it



Well to start with, I'd ask if its just an easy one to cut - maybe because there are alternatives or it isn't really on the level of a fundamental human right.

Balancing our budget is going to hurt like hell and everyone will bleed. That doesn't mean the answer is to say fuck it and keep racking up debt.


Given the context of the historically largest budget deficit alongside decreased taxes on the wealthiest Americans, it's genuinely hard to believe the goal of this cut is balancing our budget


If you care abut the deficit, then should cancel that big tax cut that was just signed into law.
