Continuing to kick the can is going to have major consequences for future generations, we need a massive decrease in government spending yesterday. Yes, there will be consequences for people that receive government assistance but I'm more worried about future generations and the United States as a going concern. The US government is such a bloated blob that you need to reduce its size with a sledgehammer. You can't reduce the size systematically. Unfortunately there will be consequences for some. Don't blame Trump/Elon, blame past politicians that ran up a massive bill and passed it on to future generations.
