Earlier this week, President Trump urged Congress to end $15 billion dollars worth of government spending. This is also a move which The Hill classified as “wise.”

An Overview of President Trump’s Moves to Reduce Spending

Astronomically high amounts of government spending is a longtime plight which has afflicted America. Both Republicans and Democrats see excessive spending as problematic. However, each side has their own notions and proposals on the best ways to reduce spending. The nation is currently trillions of dollars in debt and the number continues to rise with each passing day. Americans on both sides of the aisle have also warned of the many dangers associated with high debt and high government spending.

Nevertheless, certain people and lawmakers are pushing against the President’s moves to lessen spending. Certain Trump critics have cited the request as a “PR stunt” and “rounding error.” Other Americans have questioned how a $15 billion dollar decrease in government spending will impact certain programs.
