The pause also includes new grants. However, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and “assistance paid directly to individuals’ are not impacted nor included in the temporary pause."
According to CNN, the pause is effective at 5 PM today. It marks the latest attempt by the Trump Administration to gain control of all Federal funding, including that which was already allocated by the Congress.
According to Acting Director Matthew Vaeth, “This temporary pause will give the Administration time to review all agency programs, and to determine the best uses of funding for these programs, consistent with the law and make certain it is in line with the President’s priorities.”
And, of course, all the Democrats and their pet entities were all aghast and alarmed that the President was exercising his discretion as the Chief Executive.
Senator Patty Murray and Representative Rosa DiLauro wrote a letter expressing their “extreme alarm” that President Trump would dare to exercise such a move.
And, Senator Schmuckie had to throw his two cents in, claiming, “Congress approved these investments and they are not optional. They are the law.” Schumer continued that this action is "breathtaking, unprecedented and will have huge consequences across the country.”
Too bad Schumer, Murray and other Democrats did not consider this when they were bankrupting the middle class with their Inflation Reduction Act, which increased the effects of inflation, or the Green New Deal, which gave rise to increased prices of gasoline and other high energy costs.
President Donald Trump studied Economics, built a successful business and knows a thing or two about spending money. Smartly, unlike these “takers and fakers” in the Congress.
Get a grip folks, as President Trump looks out for ALL Americans, not just the Democrats’ special interest groups.
