The New York City comptroller’s office, which first noticed the missing money, said that the Federal Emergency Management Agency had unilaterally taken the funds from the city’s accounts.

To be clear: this isn’t the “we stopped paying promised grant money” but is literally the federal government yanking money out of an NYC bank account.

    So does the deficit matter or not? Tax cuts will make the deficit worse, not better.

        Hope you’re wealthy, and never fall on hard times, and never get taken advantage of by someone more powerful than you.

          It is important for DOGE to go through the government expenditures and find the waste and fraud so we as tax payers won’t get taken advantage of.

          Hope people can save more for rainy days with the lower taxes.
