As it was presented to the American public do you think spending go up, or down, or stay the same?

The ONLY thing that was reduced was the INCREASE in spending.

We will now be spending $830,000,000,000 more than what we are spending as of today.

Which is why this was an unmitigated disaster for all Americans.
