The Trump Spending Dream Don’t Add UP…..

House Republican’s HAVE a HUGE Problem….

They CANNOT pass a spending bill that Works Legit…..

Republican leaders are rapidly running out of ways to pay for President Trump’s agenda as GOP lawmakers shoot down various proposals to cut spending or increase revenues.

Without finding some new ideas, the GOP risks adding trillions of dollars to future deficits by passing Trump’s agenda, something many conservatives are loath to do.

Outside observers are expressing pessimism the Republicans will land on ideas that have enough support to get passed into law.

“I just don’t see them getting the money. There’s no ‘there’ there, to be quite honest about it. If they want to spend money, they’re going to end up putting it on the debt,” said former Sen. Judd Gregg (N.H.), who previously served as the Republican chair of the Senate Budget Committee.

“They’re not going to get it out of tariffs, either. You have [White House trade adviser Peter] Navarro running around saying they’re going to get $600 billion in tariff revenue. That’s absurd. It’s basic economics. You raise the price on it, people stop buying it,” he said….

“This DOGE group is throwing up a lot of smoke but is basically doing it with a small candle,” Gregg said. “They’re going after marginal discretionary events, which basically generate very small savings. So they’re not going to get it out of the discretionary accounts. They’ll get some, but it’s not going to be big.”

He called the whole exercise “a lot of flamboyance and very little substance.”

Trump has ruled out making substantial cuts to the two biggest drivers of the federal debt — Social Security and Medicaid — and cuts to veterans’ health programs and military retirement pay are also considered off limits….
