In 2019, the National Park Service had a budget of $4 billion but generated over $30 billion in economic activity.

New data from the US Treasury reveals that federal spending was $603 billion in February, which is $36 billion HIGHER than February last year under Biden.
This suggests that DOGE has done nothing to cut spending.

This. Shout this from the rooftops. Add in the propaganda that tricks voters into thinking this is the American way and you’ve got the MAGA playbook.
🧵I know what the Trump administration is doing to the country because they’ve already done it to rural America.
They stripped public schools of funding. They closed our hospitals. They sold family farms for parts. They let our infrastructure rot. And then they gerrymandered us to keep us quiet.

Its rich that Dems are going to allow the Trump budget to pass as long as they get to take meaningless votes destined to fail so that they look like they're doing something.
They didn't even give members of their own caucus that curtesy when it came to the NDAA bill and the anti-trans provisions.
