Trump calls for $2.7 trillion in budget cuts over 10 years

But his offence budget, and the wall budget are to be increased. When will Washington start to give it's colonies like the bankrupt California some support, and stop wasting the American tax payers' money on regime changes and banking and pharma profit increases?

That is an incredible amount of misinformation for such few words.  Trump is trying to end the occupation of Afghanistan, which has been the most expensive war in US history, and he's getting nothing but resistance from the globalists in DC.

The cost of the wall is a drop in the bucket compared to costs of dealing with a porous border.

California is the 7th largest economy in the world, yet we are a leach on the system, bankrupt by our politicians' socialist tendencies and complete ignorance of financial matters.

never, the entire washington regime is basically keeping its salary slaves or its money earning cattle in a neverending poverty to need money, if they have enough money they will stop working. thats the idea behind the american capitalism.

its a prison and an enslavement or control through financial limitations. (depends on the perspective weather good or bad)

they will stop as soon as the system wont work anymore, crypto is doing its part towards the end.

Also it is quite clear that the wall will be saving way more money over time than the cost if you actually look at the numbers objectively and not just quotes from opinion pieces with massaged and selectively omitted numbers. As far as California is concerned, it has made an industry out of being bankrupt. That is part of the reason it has so many fires. They purposely mismanage the forest by restricting controlled burns (even on private property) on "environmental" grounds. As a result fires will devastate areas so they can get more federal emergency funding. This is just one example, there are so many more unfortunately.

The Bureau of Land management then comes along and snatches up the land on "environmental" grounds and it becomes federal land. This is part of what was going on with the whole Bundy ranch incident, the people there were tired of this con game. FEMA plays the same games around here with houses in the flood plane. They prohibit rebuilding so if you are unable to repair the property is now useless. This is all part of the formerly known as "Agenda 21" program designed to push people into city centers for more convenient taxation, monitoring, and eventual train rides.

Actually you are really agreeing with me. I'm stating that California is almost a country in its own right, but it is being exploited and abused by its overlords in Washington.

My other point is that a fortune is spent on destructive drugs, vaccines and other weapons of war, whilst the domestic infrastructure and economy is allowed to decay.

Hes really not. Trust me they do plenty of their own leeching. You may agree that Washington is a leech, as do I, California is not an innocent party here by a long shot. It is sad too, because all the people who fucked that state up are now fleeing the results of that failing state and moving to others then immediately trying to change the government into the system they just fled. It is terrifying.

The exploitation I'm living with is not coming from Washington, but rather from Sacramento.  As a firearms owner, every night I go to sleep a law abiding citizen, yet I risk waking up as a felon through no action of my own.  This is how they treat citizens who value independence and accountability.  

The state has blown $77 billion worth of taxpayers' money on a train project they cannot finish.  They refuse to cut their losses and insist on spending another $3 billion (of Federal funds) on this doomed project, just so the money doesn't go towards something that will actually help Americans, like Trumps wall.

Several times in recent posts you've used the term "regime change" and you're so close to pointing out the root of the problem, but you always fail to see it as it truly is.  The most despondent areas of our country all have one thing in common; Democrats have had a monopoly on power for decades.  California is the prime example, and quite ripe for a regime change.

It is sad too, because all the people who fucked that state up are now fleeing the results of that failing state and moving to others then immediately trying to change the government into the system they just fled. It is terrifying.

This is so true, it's mind boggling.  A decade ago Idaho was one of those sanctuaries for people who love freedom, and now it is struggling with it's abundance of Californication.

This is all true, but I'm in favor of states as experimental laboratories. Just let the experiments fully play out, and don't allow any smokescreens or bail outs from Washington.

Then we can enjoy watching the failure of stupid socialists, their continued chatter and mis directions.

I had hopes that Brexit ad the actions in Italy and France were going to give us a chance to regain a bit of control. However it looks as if the bankers are retrenching. The increases in defence spending, and financial changes such as the privatising of the Rothschild bank in Switzerland are indications of this. I was a supporter of Trump, but he seems to be becoming more bellicose, and turning his back on his election promises. It's becoming quite difficult to plan for the future.

Didn't see you as someone to support Brexit, Frexit, and Italian Exit (or whatever you would call that)

JET CASH WAS A SUPPORTER OF TRUMP? EXCUSE ME WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?

California is bankrupt due to their own actions, plus I think they give more money to the federal government then they receive. So that's always something to think about.

Currently, the US is paying about 0.4 trillion in interest payments a year.

The US needs to cut 2-3 trillion a year to control the ever-expanding debt levels.

So make those cuts 27 trillion in 10 years to produce any substantial impact on the US debt.

2.7 will do squat.  The debt will double in 10 years to 45 trillion.  The interest payments alone will be north of 1 trillion per year as the interest rate has nowhere to go but up.

Tax revenues are at 3 trillion, you do the math.  It is like if you were making 30K/year, bought 210K house and were paying 4K in interests on the mortgage and your wife wanted to remodel the home every year, hire gardeners and build a nice, metal fence around your property.  But you spend 25K in living expenses, have no money for the renovations and/or for principal payments.  What do you do?  You borrow more, like 30K/year.  So your debt level is increasing every year while you still make 30K/year.

PS. Look at the February deficit, this is a train wreck waiting to happen:

At some point the US is going to be forced into changing things, but for now the politicans are just going to kick the can into the next generation. It's not (at least right now) popular to cut spending to balance the budget, though there will be a time when this has to happen.

Who knows when they see the writing on the wall.
