Spending is going up. Taxes are not. This means supply is going up and demand isn't. So the value of the dollar will go down - inflation.
The corporations who own this government want to force you to invest with them, or die homeless. Will you?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I do not believe any of the savings will not actually turn out to be additional costs.
GOP-lead federal US government just obliterated 7 billion dollars of taxpayers’ funds on an ineffectual theatrical Big Bombing Boondoggle against Iran’s nonexistent nuclear bomb building program—savings beyond belief!!!
I feel like some of this is fundamentally wrong. Like it says such and such saves money, but cutting that program costs untold amounts as a consequence.
Like you can save money by not paying your phone bill, but then you don't have a working phone.
So the nyt probably sucks by not making that clear to readers.
Bonus, a lot of the benefits to billionaires occur immediately and the costs will appear later, so it will look (to the blind) like Trump did great and the next guy fucked up bad.
cuts off arm I just lost 12lbs!!
These are strictly the numbers as they are on paper. The CBO and other groups USED to be in charge of doing the long-term math to find the real costs of bills, but of course they've been kneecapped to do that good work.
Well now I’m sure it’s going to pass if billionaires want it.
