Brian Redor states.
According to Pew Charitable Trusts analysis, the government’s subsidies for the federal government exceeded $ 1 trillion for the first time in 2022.
“The White House can be paused legally, but it will not be able to cancel the funds, so it will not reduce the $ 1.8 trillion deficit,” said REIDL. “And ultimately, the target” DEI “and the current expenditure for foreign aid are not so great that the deficit will be significantly reduced. Recipients can be hit violently, but from the viewpoint of decrease in the deficit, this is like a device. ”
