Sorry about that. Thanks for letting me know. This article might suffice in regards to using the shut down to reduce government.

Trump: Only Cutting Dem Programs, 'Taste of Their Medicine'​

President Donald Trump on Thursday vowed to make permanent spending cuts targeting "Democrat programs" first with Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought, giving shutdown Democrats "a little taste of their own medicine."

"We'll be making cuts that will be permanent," Trump said during Thursday's Cabinet meeting. "And we're only going to cut Democrat programs, I hate to tell you.

"I guess that's makes sense, but we're only cutting Democrat programs, but we're going to start that."

Hi TT. Not sure why this might be happening. The link takes me to the headlline:

The ‘Schumer shutdown’ could be Trump's best chance to drain the swamp​

Asked why the White House might take advantage of this opportunity to cut overhead, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt answered, "Because we have an administration and we have a president who are wholeheartedly focused on restoring fiscal sanity to our government and doing the right thing by the American taxpayer."

Spending is popular and politically appealing; retrenchment is not. To its credit, the Trump administration has boldly attempted to cut waste and fraud, estimated by former President Joe Biden’s own General Accountability Office (GAO) to total $233 billion to $521 billion each year.

The public isn’t fooled. A survey done by the CATO Institute in April showed the public believes that the government "wastes 59¢ of every $1 it spends." That’s quite an indictment and probably explains why 89 percent of respondents were in favor of auditing all government spending, in order to root out waste and fraud. Moreover, CATO found that "Americans Would Cut 40 Percent Across the Board."

The democrats are holding out because the covid relief breaks are not being continued. Covid was over years ago and do not need to be a perpetual scam.

Leftover nostalgia from the Global Reset "that could," -- like the little engine that could...

The Little Engine That Could - Wikipedia

...but in a bad way. They were just so close. So very close. There was no way this was not gonna go their way. The hospitals were in on it. The doctors were in on it. The world was primed to economically shut down for years. What a perfect opportunity to come in and take fully over. The WEF showed its hand...

Great Reset - Wikipedia

It would seem as bad as the vaccine came out to be, the blood that was to be--in the shark infested big pharma waters, would prove to be a bit too hard a temptation tide to turn against and starve the world out by isolation plan that never got up off the ground. Unfortunately, they would have to open up society and economies if they were to make so much money off the vaccine. Because the narrative would have to coincide with the particularly associated con job that goes with. So in my mind, it was the lessor of two evils. Either allow the world to collapse into the Global Reset mode, or fix the greed to challenge its own narrative. Whichever might be better for the people. It would seem the vaccine would do less damage than mass world isolation and starvation.

Now so many years past "their" golden age, all they can do is look in the rear view mirror and cry about how much of the world is so not under their post apocalyptic like grip and rule. To Georgia Guide Stone em into 500 million as their surfs. Having them use windmills, solar, and 15 minute cities eating bugs...while all the cattle, oil, gas, plains, trains, and automobiles for themselves. A lot to cry over. I think we can help them through that. I'm pretty sure they will be ok. lol.
