What is Trump’s recent spending proposal?
well president trump is keeping his promises he's moving fast and he is breaking things in historic amazing amazing ways so yesterday the president of the united states via his office of management and budget put forward a proposal that would temporarily pause three trillion dollars in spending from the federal government now That temporary pause is in fact only temporary. Much of that spending will go forward. But the idea here is to review all of the spending the federal government is doing in a non-mandatory basis. So there's a lot of mandatory spending in the federal budget. That includes Medicare, Social Security, many aspects of Medicaid, right? All of those things are going to continue So are various payments to law enforcement bodies, to defense.
All that stuff is going to continue. What this is meant to do is allow a pause for the various branches of the federal government, which are under the control of President Trump, to actually look at the spending and ensure that they are spending in accordance with the president's wishes and with the wishes of Congress. So there's a big freakout that's happening today. We'll go through it. By the left, by the media, claiming that President Trump is doing something deeply unconstitutional, fascistic. Here's the thing. You do not get to expand the centralized power of the executive branch for full on a century, controlling every aspect of Americans' lives, spending $7 trillion. And then when your political opponents take over and they use that power in order to cut back the amount of power the executive branch will actually be exerting in Americans' lives, you don't actually get to then claim that he is a dictator. You don't get to do that. You break it. You bought it. You built this thing.
And then you can't be shocked when the person who takes over decides he's going to use the instruments that you created in order to actually downgrade the amount of impact that those instruments have on Americans' everyday lives. So yesterday. The executive office of the president, the Office of Management and Budget, led by Matthew Vaith, who's the acting director for the moment, put out a memo saying, quote, the American people elected Donald J. Trump to be president of the United States and gave him a mandate to increase the impact of every federal taxpayer dollar. In fiscal year 2024, of the nearly $10 trillion the federal government spent, more than $3 trillion was federal financial assistance, such as grants and loans. Career and political appointees in the executive branch have a duty to align federal spending and action with the will of the American people as expressed through presidential priorities.
Financial assistance should be dedicated to advancing administration priorities, focusing taxpayer dollars to advance a stronger and safer America, eliminating the financial burden of inflation for citizens, unleashing American energy and manufacturing, ending wokeness and weaponization of government, promoting efficiency in government, and making America healthy again. The use of federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and Green New Deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve. In other words, we got elected, and now we are going to implement the priorities of the American people. This memorandum, according to the OMB, requires federal agencies to identify and review all federal financial assistance programs and supporting activities consistent with the president's policies and requirements. By the way, This does not include assistance provided directly for individuals.
Nothing in this memo, in the memo itself, should be construed to impact Medicare or Social Security benefits. So all the lies you're now hearing from the media suggesting that individual benefits from these mandatory social spending programs are going to be impacted by the OMB order, that's false, it's a lie, and it's being promoted by people who are lying to you.
