He actually claimed 2 trillion.

I knew Elongated Muskrat was a dumbass but I didn't know he also can't do math.

I don't think he even attempted to do math. Someone asked him about it and said what the current budget was, and he just rectally sourced 2 trillion. I assume he said that because it's big enough to sound huge, but less than half of spending so people don't panic that everything will be cut.

It's meaningless bullshit until he actually says specifically what will be cut. Republicans have been claiming they can cut huge chunks of spending for years, but it never materializes. They only know how cut government income without paying for it.

Still waiting for that ACA replacement promised on week 1 of trump's presidency. It was supposed to be so easy. Now we're 8 years out and they have "concepts of a plan".

I'm sure with control over all government branches again they'll have the ACA completely replaced in no time. For real this time.

The plan is to repeal it first, and then figure out what to do from there.

Probably whatever makes the most money for insurance companies.
