All right, so you're saying the lines might move a little more quickly next time I go to the post office. We can hope. Could this prove to be a lasting change?

Well, this will definitely be one to watch as Trump seeks to get control of the federal workforce. Luke, thanks so much for bringing us this exclusive. Thank you.

Right. Now, the numbers we have is something like a total of $6 billion in increases for deportations, military programs, veterans, health care, some of the things you listed, but then a $13 billion cut in non-defense discretionary funding. Is that correct?

Now, Trump campaigned on securing the border and getting inflation under control. He's certainly tackled the first issue in a way that's really dramatic. It's the lowest numbers we've ever seen crossing the border illegally. But many people still do struggle financially with inflation. Will voters give Trump the time he needs to bring down prices?

Now, this bill cuts earmarks and gives Trump more power to move money around, even for new military projects Congress hasn't officially okayed. Democrats say this is a blank check for Trump and Musk, but Republicans say it's needed to fix spending by September. Are you okay with giving up some of Congress's control to the White House?

Well, Trump has asked for a few more months to get a lot of this done. So we'll see if Congress gives it to him through this bill. Congressman, thank you so much for joining us.

Yeah, normally the way a bubble works is that the price of something starts going up and it keeps on going up and eventually people get so excited by the rise in price that they experience FOMO, fear of missing out, and they start piling in and you get a lot of action as the price goes up.
