I agree but never count out the American public's willingness to be swayed. If the economy really tanks, the liberal media will lay it at Trump's feet 24/7.

and if it happens after the first year then they probably should . I'm confident the opposite will happen including the media not giving him any credit for his successes

A serious recession has been a long time coming. Might blame Trump for some of it, but we know he'll be blamed for all of it.

its not inevitable and with over 4 trillion dollars of new investment coming to this country i think we're good.

my biggest concern is that Biden was propping up the economy with government spending . now that trump will reduce that i would expect a reduction in the growth rate until the transition from a government economy to private sector economy completes.

Zombie programs means agencies created but never reauthorized by Congress to continue functioning.
Legal Services Corporation has $560 million annual budget while it was set to expire in 1980.
The Federal Election Commission, for example, was expected to spend $9.4 million per year before its authorization expired in 1981. Yet the agency continued to receive funding and spent $95 million in 2024, auditors at government watchdog Open The Books found.
The Federal Communications Commission was originally allocated $339.6 million per year. Its funding authorization expired in 2020, yet it spent $28.4 billion last year.
The Foreign Relations Authorization Act, for example, expired in 2003. Yet in 2024, Congress spent $38.4 billion.
Another Zombie, the U.S. African Development Foundation – whose authorization expired in 1987 – made headlines earlier this month when its officials blocked DOGE staff from entering their offices in Washington.

how our government works. New term zombie organizations . funded at one time for a specific time period at which point we should have either stopped funding them or congress should have reauthorized them for more funding. Instead we continue to fund them after their expiration date. zombie organizations account for 8 percent of our defiicit rich budget plan .
