>The White House budget office has ordered a pause in grants, loans and other federal financial assistance, according to a memo sent to government agencies on Monday, potentially paralyzing a vast swath of programs and jeopardizing spending that Congress has mandated by law.

>In the two-page memo, Matthew J. Vaeth, the acting director of the Office of Management and Budget, directed federal agencies to “temporarily pause all activities related to obligation or disbursement of all federal financial assistance,” and any other programs that included “D.E.I., woke gender ideology and the Green New Deal.”

>Mr. Vaeth signaled that the pause, which goes into effect on Tuesday, would continue until at least mid-February, and said that it was needed to ensure federal programs aligned with President Trump’s policy priorities.

>“The use of federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism and Green New Deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve,” Mr. Vaeth said.

>It is not immediately clear what programs would fall under those categories. The Green New Deal, for example, was a policy proposal that never became law.

>The extent of the pause, although potentially sweeping, was also unclear. The memo carved out an exception for “assistance received directly by individuals,” and Medicare and Social Security benefits, but did not provide examples — like if a tax benefit for environmentally friendly purchases counted for the exception.

>The memo also cited “more than $3 trillion” in federal financial assistance that would be affected by the directive, but it also provided overall spending figures that significantly inflated the federal budget. Government analysts estimated the budget for fiscal year 2024 at $6.7 trillion. Mr. Vaeth’s memo asserts the government spent “nearly $10 trillion” in that
>>
>Further confusing the situation, it is uncertain that President Trump has the authority to unilaterally halt government funds allocated by Congress. Under Constitutional separation of powers, Congress passes spending bills, and the president executes the law as it is written.

>Mr. Trump’s flouting of budget rules during his first term played a role in his first impeachment in 2019, when he halted the flow of military aid to Ukraine that Congress had allocated.

Lot of Leopards going to be eating faces in Red States, very soon. Ya'll are the primary consumers of federal benefits.

Good. As bad as DJT is, state-level Republicans are almost uniformly worse.

lmao even.

You keep pretending that spending and wellfare form a perfect circle in venn diagram form.

So now he's just trying to not only eradicate any sense of checks and balances, but also literally cripple the entire nation financially?

How would states rights deal with the withholding of federal funds? Also there are plenty of dipshit state governments too. God damn, you're a waste of carbon.

Anon read the actual EO. It isn't just DEI and LGBT shit. It's EVERYTHING.
>Healthcare
>Student loans
>Research
>Everything relating to environmental protection and federal regulation
>Charities
>Community programs

Literally the only things that this doesn't block are social security and medicare.
>>
>>1378116
oh and also
>Education
>Veteran programs
>Church programs
>Food programs
>>
>>1378116
All of that shit is infected with DEI and has to be purged
>>
>>1378123
All that shit is a fat chunk of our economy. If you hate having a 1st world standard of living that much, set fire to your own house and leave the rest of the country out of it. You don't freeze trillions of dollars in commerce with no notice without horrible ripple effects.

>>1378070

2025 is the year of the "Libshits and leftoids develop a sense of civics and how the US gov't and US consitution works" challenge

Pro-tip: undoing EO's with other EO's isn't eradicating checks and balances. Thats the constitutional function of EOs.

>All that shit is a fat chunk of our economy
Well then it's no wonder our economy is fucked.

Thank god you people lost and we can undo all of the damage you did.

I can't tell if this is:

>a fuck-you to le evil woke
>a genuine, if retarded, attempt to fix the economy via extreme austerity measures (THIS time it'll work I swear!!!)

But it's so utterly fucking ill-conceived that I can't help but feel like the poverty rate is going to double within the year

Why would the government circulating cash fuck the economy?

Actually, don't answer. My time isn't cheap enough to listen to your bullshit.

>>1378145
Where the US budget goes is the decision of congress. The president can only approve it after they have. Taking away all that spending is not in his wheelhouse.

sure this wont effect ME!

Don't forget medicaid. God damn do Republicans deserve the government they voted for.
>>
>>1378250
Note medicare is apparently exempt... but medicaid isn't. So hey, the republican boomers keep their health insurance... and the actual hospitals they'd need to go to for treatment get nothing, so...

FEMA is about to lose funding. While half the south is still dealing with fallout from a hurricane and California is still ACTIVELY ON FIRE.

It's okay. Trump sent the military into California and turned on the water, lmao.

>>1378256
Genuinely, what the fuck did he mean by that? Is he implying the military was responsible for the rain they got recently?

Here’s a thread of the kinds of stuff that just got paused:
https://xcancel.com/restoreorderusa/status/1884239763135422640

And here’s the big fucking list of it all
https://xcancel.com/RandoLand_us

Let’s play a game everyone: go through and find something that you think is worth saving and post it here. I bet you can’t find a single thing.
>>
>>1378310
i'd prefer to play the game where i call you a faggot
>>
>>1378311
I see you couldn't find a thing. Looks like I win then.
>>
>>1378312
you are a faggot with a terrible job who will die alone. bitches don't love shills anon
>>
>>1378314
Um, what exactly am I shilling? I’ve only posted facts. These are the grants that just got paused. Is it wrong for me to post them?
>>
>>1378310
Lots of cash going to Honduras. No wonder they are so corrupt with such a gang problem
>>
>>1378315
i'll tell you when you stop being an unprecedented faggot
>>
>>1378321
I’m sorry, but we’re putting a stop to the gravy train now. Leftist parasites like you can’t live off federal grant money in fake jobs in fake organizations. You’ll have to get a real job and be a productive member of society now.
>>
>>1378323
just let me know when you're done, faggot
>>
>>1378310
>Hey trust my twitter account that just cherry picks shit that supports his agenda
No thanks you fucking retard. I went through the page for a good 10 minutes. He literally only posts LGBT and migrant related program and left out the massive amounts of home programs that are also frozen. I went through the actual gov website (the same one he's posting from) and found five examples of programs that are also getting paused that don't involve LGBT, foreign nations, or anything to do with refugees pretty fucking easily once I figured out the filters (which fucking suck by the way, it took like 30 minutes to figure out how to just see active grants)

These are
>School fundings
>Public transport
>Labor apprenticeships
>Airport repair
>Emergency weather report systems
Which I think are pretty fucking important. it's easy to find shit worth saving even by your standards if you don't cherry pick your results.

Do you think giving a 16k grant to an organization called “Safe Space” in Latvia for LGBTP+ awareness is a good use of taxpayer money?

>>1378327
do you think you aren't being a faggot
>>
>>1378327
Hey what about all the cancer research grants that just got paused. Or do you only recognize what your cherry picking twitter account posts?
>>
>>1378326
Oh wow, you found something. Hey maybe we make a deal now, where we can unfreeze the funding for those grants, and cut funding for all the rest. How does that sound? Is that a good idea?
>>
>>1378331
you're not american even though you're larping as one
>>
>>1378327
>Do you think giving a 16k grant to an organization called “Safe Space” in Latvia for LGBTP+ awareness is a good use of taxpayer money?
Yes, I think using small grants to propagandize for the benevolence of the US government abroad is a good use of taxpayer money compared with our usual activities abroad such as bombing people, couping people, sterilizing people, etc. Unfortunately here they were paid well below the usual grant amount.
>>
>>1378334
I want all grants on pause until further notice. I want every recipient to come forward before the office of DOGE and justify why they deserve this money. And if their explanation is satisfactory, then they can have their money back, but if not they can fuck off.
>>
>>1378338
i want you to admit you're a miserable shill

Your grammar is slipping. Are you getting mad?

I’ll take that as a yes.

>>1378346
yes, you are
>>
Absolute liberal death in just one week.
>>
>>1378331
You know how many of these fucking grants there are? You know how fucked things would be if we paused all of them until every single one was individually reviewed?

Also, retard, here's the fucking thing: if we're only going to get rid of "le bad grants", tell me why it makes sense to not go through the current grants over that pause period, WITHOUT pausing them, so you don't fuck over everything useful that just got paused?

You know how badly a week of no funds can fuck with a construction project? An apprenticeship? Research? You can't just pause things for a week and unpause them like a video game; things happen in the meantime. Workers have other jobs to get to, schedules are already set. You pause a project for a week they aren't going to start working on it again for a month, if that. Suddenly stopping the funding for the entire nation's funding for a week can have effects for years to come.
>>
>>1378351
Please take your ticket and wait to be called for your DOGE appointment. Elon Musk will hear your case then.
>>
>>1378250
Get a job, exercise, and stay healthy. It's not that hard to live to old age in America. Millions do it. Take some damn responsibility for yourself and stop relying on handouts. There are no free school lunches just like there is no free medical care.
>>
>>1378355
There's a term for having to run each and every grant proposal through one man individually, clogging the entire system and effectively gutting the rate of actually doing anything. It's on the tip of my tongue but I just can't think of it...
>>
The belts off now. America needs to take its medicine from daddy like the bad little bitch it's been. It needs to have its ass tarred so much that it can't sit for a month afterward. It needs to be taught never to touch the hot stove of socialism ever again. Daddy is mad, and he's not going to forgive America no matter how much she screams and cries.
>>
>>1378356
>It's not that hard to live to old age in America. Millions do it.
Yeah almost like we've had a program to help people do so for a while now.

I swear to god some of you retards would've been arguing in favor of reinforcing the most damaged areas on fighter jets that returned to base.

Sir, I don’t handle the cases. Please take your seat and wait for your number to be called.

Yep. He truly is braindead. Which is why the only genocide I agree with is taking these people out. If there was only a way to figure out which is which

Fuck off faggot. You had no problem with Biden's EOs
>>
>>1378794
Running every single federal grant through one singular billionaire doing reviews wasn't one of Biden's EOs.
