It doesn't because they will find new ways to line their own pockets. Both sides should held accountable. It's so disgusting that money is wasted like that when it could have been used to help the people here. $ to help nort Carolina, Hawai , infrastructure instead of transgender operations in Guatemala ( whatever it was) sesame st parade in Iran ( 20 million dollars , let that sink in)..if you are doing clean business then you should have no problems showing your books.

Short answer: timing. One needs to be addressed before the other hopefully gets fully addressed and goes into effect and is realized. Then, if the tax cuts are extended, it will also give time for his agenda to start taking place.
Then you have to keep in mind, even if spending is cut, the interest still has to be serviced — which is one of the largest budget items now.

Theoretically, it was triggered at the start of the year. I don’t know if you recall last year they were proposing a longer stay — until 2027 or 2029. Trump, of course was for this — so he would not have Congress fighting it this year. But members of both parties decided against that. So, now the ceiling will be reached around mid-summer.
So, that will need to be addressed this year. Whereas, any of the proposals to cut spending and that sort of thing probably will not be realized or put into effect until the next budget proposal. More nuanced and detailed, of course — but that is the gist of the timing concerns.

Evidently it's lousy timing for Budget Director Russ Vought because he told GOP Senators 175 billion was needed immediately for border security & immigration enforcement
These fuckers will spend more than they'll ever save.
It's a case of 3 Card Monte.
Bwhaaaaaaaaa

Correct. With a shift in policy, funds will have to be shifted to support and implement the new policies. But this number has already been factored into the reconciliation. Not so much 3 Card Monte on this, because you can see how the funds will be shifted around. Hopefully, both parties will see the waste now and decide to cut spending. At least that is the optimistic view.
Ok, but now 400 million will be going out the door into the trunks of Muskrat's Cybertrucks being bought by the State Department.
Marco Rubio head of the department had no clue this deal was being made.
This poor bastard can't ever see over the steering wheel of one of these monstrosities.
Cha-Ching
So who is keeping track in this thread of the money being saved vs the money being spent??

Well, it's clear that no politician will go near SS reform, because they know it will probably cost them their job.
But the reality is that benefits paid out to recipients will be cut by 20% in 2035, if nothing is done. . boy are people gonna be pissed...

@Midnight1 I'll track the savings ... Why don't you pick-up the other side and tie it together for us....
Have you even looked at the data in the DOGE tracker? The buyouts will save 30 BILLION for the 66,000 employees taking the offer? Do the math, that can't be right.
Saving 20 million for $19 subscriptions to the Associated Press. They have over a million subscriptions which is a subscription for 1 in every 3 federal employee?
Don't waste our time with these fake numbers.
Once again, total bullshit!

The south african immigrant who is the richest person in the world is not busy trying to make his own companies bigger but instead is worried about the federal govt. I dont care what party you belong to, if you cant see the bullshit that musk is doing. His true mission isnt to find money, its to completely destroy Our Country from the inside. Am all for finding waste, but thats not musks true mission. Musk should not be in this position which the power he has now. The people trump puts in charge of the dept's should be the ones looking for waste, not this piece of dirt musk doing it. For one govt was never designed to run like a business. These depts have been built by republican and democrats, they shouldnt be destroyed by some south African immigrant (who should have had his citizenship taken away). Am so sick of hearing that democrats are the only ones who have created all the waste in govt. Yeah i know the republicans are all just honest people who would never waste our tax dollars. Trump said that there will be no more investigation into foreign bribery from other countries. That group is gone, lmfaooooooooooooooo. Sell the country to the highest bidding other country. Who the fuck would in their right mind say that? Got rid of the consumer agency that protects consumers. 4 trillion tax cut to the rich lmfaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo but thats not a handout to the rich. Buy hey make sure some kid from a poor family doesnt get a sandwich at school. Kick all those free loaders on medicare off, which is everybody that collects social security. Yup those people are your parents, grand parents, aunts, uncles, friends and even yourselves. Keep voting against your own self interests, while the rich folks keep getting your money. Musk but our country for 250 million bucks and who knows how much he gave trump on the side. Musk had said he was gonna become the first trillionaire and now we know how. By being in control of our whole system of govt. And if you think musk isnt in control of our country and not trump. Watch musk talking in the oval office yesterday and watch trump. Musk is the real unelected President and trump is the VP. Also if you think trump is leaving after his 4 years are up, then i have some real cheap ocean beach front property for sale in kansas for all you gullible guppies. Alot of you here are just pissed off and hate everything. Must suck to live life with so much hate.
And for the folks who are gonna say musk has people running his companies which he does and that he wants to help the country because he deeply cares about all of us taxpayers, i got some other cheap ocean beach front property you can buy in Nebraska. My neighbor who leases his house out because he lives in California and works for musk, said musk is hands on everything in the company, so putting his businesses on hold to work for free for our govt, is a huge red flag but by the time you fools all realize what has happened right in front of your own eyes, it will be too late. All the republicans used to talk about is the Constitution this and The Constitution that, but now they could careless that trump is gonna dismantle it. No republican politicians have the balls to stand up and say anything, cause they are worried about musk using his money to make sure they dont get re-elected.
I dont have kids, but i truly feel sorry for all the people who voted for this clown show and what the Country will be for them. So someday be prepared when your kids ask you, how the fuck did you do this to us.
Our Country has always been great, but some fell for a slick used car salesmans bullshit ad. A FOOL AND HIS VOTE AND MONEY WILL SOON BE PARTED.

Dec 3rd, 2024; Brent Efron, EPA Advisor; "We’re throwing gold bars off the Titanic. We’re getting the money out.”
An extremely disturbing video circulated two months ago, featuring a Biden EPA political appointee talking about how they were ‘tossing gold bars off the Titanic,’ rushing to get billions of your tax dollars out the door before Inauguration Day," Zeldin said in a video posted to X, citing another video from December. "The ‘gold bars’ were tax dollars and ‘tossing them off the Titanic’ meant the Biden administration knew they were wasting it."
Zeldin said the EPA has plans to recover the "gold bars" that were found "parked at an outside financial institution," which he does not mention by name.
He said that "this scheme was the first of its kind in EPA history, and it was purposefully designed to obligate all the money in a rush job with reduced oversight" before Inauguration Day. The EPA needs to resume responsibility for all of these funds, adding that his team will "review every penny that has gone out the door."
