The math works out to being an actual increase in spending (so larger defecit) while cutting tons of things that actually help Americans.

If they pass any tax cuts, it would mean even larger defects. Further proving that republicans are bad for the economy (on top of everything else Trump and Republicans have been doing recently).

Oh it's still going to be pretty bad for the people in the military, just not the military contractors.

Then they take that "military budget" and buy all those cybertrucks under some definition of "armored vehicle" at original sticker price (plus a military surcharge).

Why is the state department getting defunded that hard? It's not exactly woke right?

A lot of international aid and development programs fall under the department of state.
