Sounds strange. The USA is heavily in debt. Trump has the spending audited and realizes it's being squandered around the world and stops spending. Biden screwed up food prices but Trump is to blame three days after taking office?
It all sounds like a conspiracy. What Trump is doing should be done here. Tackle the spending problem, not rake in more revenue and throw it out the window. In my opinion, America will come out of this stronger

@Madhatter5566 What nonsense. Trump wants to spend a lot more, he doesn't deny that.
Musk is cutting back on government agencies that are needed to control the economy, while at the same time Trump is ordering, for example, 400 million Tesla armored government vehicles.
In addition, he is introducing tariffs on many things, which will increase prices in the USA even more than they are now. Why is that swearing?

•@leveragegrinding I'm undecided, but Doge has exposed and stopped more than enough wasteful spending. What you think Trump will spend and what is currently happening seem to be two different things.
The climate agreement was also a waste of money.
Tariffs are also partly important and right.
And your current prices are Biden. Trump is on for how long?

@Madhatter5566 Interesting that you would consider the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau “wasteful spending”. Interesting that you think cancer research is “wasteful spending”. You know what is a waste? Trump halting USAID, which now caused millions of dollars worth of food to rot in ports.

@leveragegrinding 400 million dollars in Tesla e.g. Cybertrucks are without discount only 10,000 units for the entire USA, in comparison only in Bavaria are about 7,000 cars in the service of different authorities. And you can see, especially in Germany, what advantage it has for an economy when it is over-bureaucratized and full of authorities for every nonsense.
••
@Doja of course, because USAID is an agency for all kinds of nonsense, just like American air safety, etc. Who needs cancer research, people with cancer should just die if they don't have enough money, right?

@leveragegrinding I agree with you that there are certain government services that would not need to be cut but actually need more funding. To pick out exactly these 2 examples here.... Not every authority, standard, rule and regulation makes sense and helps the economy, which is why it certainly wouldn't hurt to take a look at the USA and learn some ideas instead of always having to know everything better.

@leveragegrinding Um. Have you seen what usaid has paid for. Mostly nonsense. That's exactly the point.
It has nothing to do with cancer research.

@TAHT USAID has nothing to do with cancer resaerch, it was a vehicle for wide spread corruption. And I think wasting billions just for others isnt the right thing when you have a debt problem. Stopping Usaids was the right move.

@Madhatter5566 The entire attitude of the authorities is simply stupid in the long term. Even if you completely ignore the social aspect. The USA is withdrawing and someone is stepping into the breach. Who will it be? China. They're already known for prowling around like hyenas. If you help them out as a country, then you have first choice when it comes to exploiting resources. The USA will no longer have them, but hey, China will be happy.

•@devnerd_daddy It's an audit and the USa will continue to pay for the important things. Just don't fund the behavioral research of autistic gnomes in Uganda with a kickback to Pocahontas. Secondly, you should only give money if you can. A highly indebted country cannot do that.
