"We're getting spending under control ... then through President Donald J. Trump's trade policies, tax policies, deregulation policies, we're going to grow faster," says Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. "We're going to grow the GDP and shrink the growth of the debt — and that completely changes the trajectory."

The numbers don’t lie—federal spending ballooned 51.7% from FY2019 to FY2024, hitting $6.7 trillion, while revenues only climbed 42%. That’s Biden-era math: spend first, ask questions never. Now, with Trump’s leadership, we’re flipping the script. Trade policies that prioritize American jobs, tax cuts fueling innovation, and slashing red tape are already reversing the damage. The deficit surged 85.9% under the last admin—proof that globalist handouts and bureaucratic bloat don’t work. Time to redirect the $35.8 billion wasted on international aid in 2024 into rebuilding industries here. Fiscal discipline plus growth—that’s how you outpace debt.

@POTUS @SecScottBessent “We’re getting spending under control” does not align with going to war against Iran for Israel.

@POTUS @SecScottBessent nothing in your control

@POTUS @SecScottBessent Yeah, starting a new war always gets spending under control. What an utter disappointment. Don't ask me to vote in the midterms.

@POTUS @SecScottBessent You can throw that out the window if we go to war with Iran

@POTUS @SecScottBessent how is raising the debt ceiling by $4 TRILLION get spending under control?!

@POTUS @SecScottBessent You need to get housing prices under control. 70% of American households have little to no disposable income after paying the rent or mortgage making them dependent on some type of government assistance. It's pretty simple. Housing is the BIGGEST choke point in our economy. If...

@POTUS @SecScottBessent Sounds good in theory, but we’ve heard this before. If we really want growth, maybe we should look at how states like @GavinBrookswin’s California are balancing budgets while still investing in people. Just saying.

@POTUS @SecScottBessent The incremental growth of GDP has not materially exceeded the incremental growth of debt for 2 decades and you've given a hall pass to the outrageous, unsustainable, wasteful spending. Not gonna happen.

@POTUS @SecScottBessent No, not shrink the growth of the debt. Stop the growth of the debt, thenshrink the debt. Words matter, and I know you know that.
