2. It is a "contstrained fiscal environment" of Trump and his billionaire friends' making.

From one massive pipeline, billions are being extracted by Trump, his family, and billionaire friends, and more than a few Congressional Republicans.

Out of the other, billions more are being extracted by his mass deportations, and his illegal, unconstitutional war of choice in Iran, which also, by the way, enriches his family and billionaire friends.

This is NOT a fiscal or budget problem. It is a PRIORITIES problem. Trump, his family, and their billionaire friends are the ONLY ITEM on their priority list, and THEY are the ones running everything.

Congressional Republicans are, meanwhile, supine, flat on their backs, legs spread, letting Trump have his way with them, the Treasury, the entire government (which he is shutting down and defunding agency by agency), and the US and world economy. They are sluts for Trump - a mob boss, adjudicated rapist, notorious pedophile, lifelong conman, and 34-count felon who is destroying the US Republic, its reputation worldwide, its government, and emptying its Treasury into his pockets.

This is BIGGER than a fiscal or budget issue. It's a CORRUPTION and PRIORITIES issue. When CRIMINALS are running a country, their top priority WILL BE serving themselves. And so they are.
