But they will do it by passing tax cuts for the rich, and cutting services and other spending on the working class to the bone.
We're going to see a once-in-a-lifetime (or, luckily for us to date, even rarer) looting of the United States Treasury and our collective wealth, as well as that of our future generations. And, incredibly enough, we fucking voted for it!
Anyway, yes, they are going to cut spending, in ways that will damage and kill many people. And they'll do it while increasing the deficit.
I agree with everything you said, but I'm not even completely convinced that they're going to do the initial "saving money".
With these projects, it's pretty easy to only count the victories, and not count the failures. They can say they saved "$10M saved on a canceled contract!!" but then happily omit the fact that they had to have a nearly identical contract a month later because it shouldn't have been canceled.
