      A lot of the “cuts” were for programs that had already been funded… the money was already spent. Agreements and contracts were cancelled. Some of those surely had penalties involved. Some were for things they actually needed, and so they’ve had to renegotiate again with worse terms because the government just proved it can’t be trusted.

      They’re trying to prove the government doesn’t work by making the government not work.

      It’s what MAGA and progressives have in common.

          He means they’re sabotaging and kneecapping the systems in place so at a later date they can say “see it doesn’t work” and their base is so smooth brained that they won’t connect dot 1 to dot 2.
