New York Got $80 Million for Migrants. The White House Took It Back. - SLRPNK

To be clear: this isn’t the “we stopped paying promised grant money” but is literally the federal government yanking money out of an NYC bank account.

Wait a second, the federal government takes money back from New York City, but Trump and Musk are running around cutting every program in site and nobody is talking about refunding the taxpayers? Gtfo…
They are working on a tax cut bill.

I don’t want a tax cut. I wanna reimbursement because the truth is, we authorized our government to spend that money years ago. In some cases like USAID -we authorized the spending of that money decades ago.  if the United States government doesn’t want to spend that money anymore than there should’ve been legislature, but also they don’t get a free check to just spend it on whatever the fuck they want. They should have to pass new legislation before they spend any more taxpayer money on new projects. And since they haven’t passed any new legislation, they should give us our money back. 

if we set the presidents that the government can change, budget funding strategy like this, it would allow the government to raise billions of dollars for one purpose , and then suddenly take that billion dollars, and spend it on something that it wasn’t originally meant for.

It doesn’t work that way.
Explain it to me then…
We have a huge deficit. A refund might make some sense if we end up with a surplus. We are nowhere near that.

Funny how dems have been able to balance budgets and wind up with a surplus without engaging in wholesale butchery of programs that help and protect people.

You do notice that, don’t you? Things that are being slashed are things that protect you, education, and feed people? Why not advocate for taxing the fuck out of corporations and billionaires instead of engaging in waving in the direction of “the deficit”.

Things that are being attacked are the stupid spendings that American majority don’t want to spend money on.
Says you.
Look at Trump’s approval rating. What I said is basically the opinion of the American majority.

The appropriate polls to use in this case is approved rating, not favorability.
Take a hike. I’m not here to jump through your semantic hoops.
