    Depends on interpretation. It isn't supposed to affect payments made to individuals, but the funds are generally paid to the college. Given the payments are for specific individuals, they may still be allowed. Certainly something that needs to be clarified.

    Sen. Amy Klobuchar noted that Article I of the Constitution gives Congress, not the presidency, the right to make sweeping funding changes. Klobuchar, a cancer survivor, also asked, “Are you stopping NIH cancer trials?”

    Sen. Patty Murray and Rep. Rosa DeLauro, the minority leaders of the Senate and House Appropriations Committees, sent a joint letter to Vaeth opposing the directive.

    “The scope of what you are ordering is breathtaking, unprecedented, and will have devastating consequences across the country. We write today to urge you in the strongest possible terms to uphold the law and the Constitution and ensure all federal resources are delivered in accordance with the law,” they said.

    Diane Yentel, CEO and president of the National Council of Nonprofits, also raised the alarm on the memo.

    “These orders threaten to unwind decades of progress improving systems for people who have been systematically discriminated against,” she said in a statement.

    I confused this with the government already spending 1.8T for this fiscal year when I first read it.

    Yelen is talking about the manufactured debt ceiling limit.

    That horse and pony show has been a confirmed sham for the past 8 years under both admins. It went from 19.5T in 2016 to 35.8T today.

    The Tea Party became lukewarm piss Eric drinks at a gastropub.

    Well Pelosi and the Dems just rammed through 4 years of massive deficit spending and then wasted the money.

    Remember. No internet or EV chargers built.


    They passed $2 trillion in Covid relief money in 2021 after the vax had already came out. 2 trillion!!!
    For what?
    To be laundered and stolen and given to political allies

    Biden had no clue what the **** was going on so who the **** was in charge? Left doesn’t want to talk about that at all.
    And that their candidate lied about his health for 4 years. And the media. And his cabinet.
    All of them.

    It was like don’t tell mom the babysitter is dead.
    total farce.

    Blah Blah.... Democrats passed a DEFICIT SPENDING BILL!!!....

    .... Therefore that's why I approve of a President making himself a dictator, and crashing the US economy.

    You're excuses here are just mind-blowingly stupid. Every democratic country in the world that wants to grow it's economy deficit spends. Argue that all you want, but the fact is you are trying to justify literally tanking the wealthiest, and best economy in the world regardless in favor a criminal dictatorship where one deranged 80 year old moron is allowed to destroy it in order to consolidate everything under his wing.

    Nobody with half a brain who was thinking straight would think it was a good idea to do this sh$t. But you get what you paid for I guess. Own it instead of being a coward and trying to blame Nancy Fcking Pelosi for your fascistic BS agenda.

    You MAGA activists are really something. I'm assuming either you live in another country that hates America, or have the IQ of a 2 year old.

    Wasn’t talking about Cares, which I also wasn’t a fan of. I’m talking about the 1.9 trillion that Biden signed in March 2021.

    Donald Trump added more than 2x the national debt outside of covid spending. You're brainwashed and in a cult

    So under Biden and orchestrated by Pelosi and Schumer

    Covid 2 trillion
    Infrastructure 2 trillion
    Inflation reduction. $2 trillion.

    The inflation one is my favorite. They caused more inflation. Crazy inflation. Schumer claimed they removed like 40 million from poverty.
    Give me a break.

    Hey low iq cultist. The infrastructure bill and the inflation reduction act both had revenue raising clauses. The inflation reduction act implemented a minimum corporate tax rate of 15% and it allowed Medicare to negotiate lower prescription prices which saves the government hundreds of billions

    Every time you talk to a MAGA cultist you realize just how utterly brainwashed they are

    What did I say that was wrong? Did you know they implemented a corporate minimum tax of 15%? 45 different fortune 500 companies paid zero dollars in taxes in 2022. The introduction of a corporate minimum tax will raise close to 400 billion dollars for the government.

    Quit trying to act intelligent on the forums. Were not brainwashed cultists here you can spew Newsmax talking points
