President Trump has done a lot of good for this country. In fact, there’s very little left on his agenda. He needs to cross a few t’s and dot a few i’s on the last remaining trade deals. He’ll get as much wall built as possible with Congress obstructing him on every level. The last big box that needs to be checked is fixing the federal budget. He’s off to a good start.
The federal deficit has risen by more than $100 billion every year since 2015. The total deficit for 2018 was $779 billion. President Trump’s critics have been quick to blame tax cuts and the current administration for that large number, but that’s not remotely fair. Through deregulation and an audit of the executive branch, Trump has been slashing spending left and right.
In one deft move over the last week, he took another $150 billion off of the government spending total. This time, he did it by refining welfare rules. Instead of wasting countless billions on perpetual welfare recipients, President Trump has cleaned the system by incentivizing work. It’s obvious, but Congress has shied away from the obvious for years.
While this is only one of the President’s many ways to help fix the budget, it’s a huge deal. You can see how it works and how much it’s going to help welfare recipients in particular in this video. Take a look.
