If Democratic MPs will not listen to President Trump about waste cut, they may listen President Barack Obama.
In a recent repeated video from 2011, then President Obama urged the Federal Government to reduce the wasteful government consumption and programs, even those that “many people care about”.
“Everyone knows that the deficit will be required to require some difficult decisions, and this includes a reduction in billions of dollars in programs that many people care about,” said the former president in Almost 14-year-old clip.

As a reminder of the democratic figures that require the end of the daily row of Trump’s administration administration to reduce wasteful state consumption, conservative users on X shared the old video records of Obama lobbying for similar things.
Although Obama mentioned the importance of these more painful cuts, he emphasized that the US government should at least be resolved by “meaningless waste and stupid consumption that they have no use to anyone.”
He added that it was “a waste we should get rid of even if we didn’t have a deficit.”
“No amount of waste is acceptable, especially when it is your money,” Obama said, referring to US taxpayers. “Just as families live in their means, the government should.”
Obama even provided some examples of this “stupid consumption”, asking viewers, “did you know that the federal government pays a website dedicated to the folk music ensemble composed of Forest Rangers? They are called” Fiddlin “forests.
“I’ll put their music on my iPod, but I don’t pay their websites.”
44. The president continued to mention what other wasteful taxpayers paid, including “thousands of buildings in the whole country that no one uses.”
Obama even announced that he puts then President Joe Biden In charge of this effort to “hunt the wrong tax dollar at every agency and department of this Government.”
Biden appeared in the clip, noting that the job would take up a “relentless focus”.
“We consider ourselves responsible and we are deeply committed and focused on improving the Government’s function,” he said.
