Psst! Elon! Trump has slashed inflation and cut the deficit by about a third
By Monica Showalter

In the annals of bad judgment, Elon Musk's picked fight with President Trump over federal spending stands out as a beaut.

While it's true that the recently passed congressional budget, a.k.a., the "Big Beautiful Bill" involved a small rise in spending in the bid to get it through, which was Musk's beef, a beef so strong he ended his relationship with President Trump, it also contained critical tax cuts which usually yield more in tax revenue than congressional estimates. as the economy booms. But there's an even bigger story out there that the press isn't reporting: Trump is already cutting the deficit -- and on his watch, inflation is going down, too.

The last two days, as highlighted by Wall Street economist Brian Wesbury, shows the big picture:

I don't want the deficit cut, I want it eliminated.
I want a surplus.
I want government to quit pissing away our hard earned money.
I want the National debt paid down.

It is what I have to do with my personal finances, to adjust expenditures to fit my income, or make more money, or both.
