Huh? 2020 budget was $6.5T. 2021 was $7.3T. 2022 was $6T. 2023 is $6T. Considering inflation, spending is down ~10%.

And any increases were across the board. Asking them to cut all of the increases from only ~10% of the expenditures is ludicrous.

Also debt ceiling is not the budget. Lots of incorrect info in this thread.
