As expected, unless Congress de-appropriates no real change will occur. Congress would rather die, nearly to a man, than spend a single penny less. Trump remains "Just fishing" in the Rubicon, and very much doesn't "know what time it is". Look, the "Whole of Society" Gleichschaltung machine that will murder freedom permanently in the US is intrinsically tied up in this. If you can't fix blank-check appropriations, the machine will be right there whispering sweet nothings into the next administration's ear. Throw the damn ring into mount doom, dumbass.
