The federal agencies have been gutted by DOGE and others, Trump doesn’t care much, and Congress has made itself largely irrelevant. Look at how FEMA is (not) operating. What good is Congress’ power of the purse if the purse-strings are held tightly shut by the executive? I think the dismantling of the bureaucracy is going to make agencies unable to manage and disburse the funds even if a bailout is prepared again.
Fox is reporting that America collected $50B in tariffs, but where will farmers and regular people see that money put to use for them, when $150B over 4 years are being given to ICE to hire thugs and build prison camps?
