Trump Admin Blocked Around $430 Billion In Federal Funds, Top Democrats Say Authored by Jack Phillips via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),Congressional Democrats said on April 29 that the Trump administration has blocked about $430 billion in federal funding and that they are chronicling how it is stopping the flow of funds.Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) and Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), the top Democrats on the Senate and House appropriations committees, released a tracker on April 29 to “shine a light on President Trump’s vast, illegal funding freeze and how it is hurting people in every zip code in America.”“Instead of investing in the American people, President Trump is ignoring our laws and ripping resources away,” said Murray and DeLauro. They said the funding that was cut or frozen by the Trump administration had been approved by Congress.The powerful Appropriations committees in the House and the Senate, where Republicans have majority control of both chambers, draft the annual funding bills that Congress passes and sends to the president’s desk for his signature to become law.Since taking office in January, Trump has said that he wants to reduce fraud, waste, and abuse in the federal government while seeking to terminate various programs that don’t align with his administration’s priorities.The Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was created via an executive order in January by the president and is tasked with those efforts. According to its website, DOGE says it has saved an estimated $160 billion, or around $993 per taxpayer.The White House, which has not responded to the Democrats’ claims, did not immediately respond to an Epoch Times request for comment.In a news release on Tuesday, Democrats highlighted some programs that were slashed under the Trump administration, including $1 billion for HeadStart, which provides early childhood education, health, and nutrition services.They noted $12 million in canceled funding for the Fair Housing Initiatives Program that gives grants to nonprofits to “prevent housing discrimination.” They also cited nearly $1 billion for the Green and Resilient Retrofit program; $10 million for the Citizen and Integration Grant program; $80 million in grants and contracts to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and more.The Trump administration is in court fighting to keep many of the administration’s cuts to federal agencies.“The people voted for major government reform, and that’s what the people are going to get,” said Musk, a senior presidential adviser and special government employee, in an appearance at the White House in February. “That’s what democracy is all about.”This past week, after Musk’s electric vehicle company Tesla posted lower-than-expected profits and revenue for the first quarter of 2025, Musk told investors on a call that his work with DOGE will drop significantly in the next month or so. In any case, as a special government employee, Musk can work only 130 days for the government before departing.Musk said he will continue to support the Trump administration and DOGE “to make sure that the waste and fraud that we stop does not come roaring back.”In a statement released by the White House, Trump said that DOGE is designed to bring “accountability and transparency to federal spending, ensuring taxpayer dollars are spent wisely and effectively,” which he said, “has already saved taxpayers billions of dollars.”The Associated Press contributed to this report.

"Nothing Is Getting Better" - Texas Services Sector Outlook Slumps, Prices Soar Following yesterday's slump in a survey of Texas Manufacturing firms, the Dallas Fed released their survey of Texas Services sector firms today, and it was just a big a shitshow.Perceptions of broader business conditions deteriorated further in April. The general business activity index dropped eight points to -19.4. In addition, outlooks worsened as the company outlook index retreated to a 34-month low of -15.5. The outlook uncertainty index jumped 13 points to 40.5 - its highest level since mid-2022. Respondents’ expectations regarding future business activity continued to weaken in April.Under the hood, we saw further stagflationary signals with revenue forecast plunging as prices soar...Tariffs were top of mind for many, just as with the Texas Manufacturing survey, as respondents broadly speaking reflected: "Nothing is getting better."[Our concerns are] tariffs, tariffs, tariffs.We have high levels of anxiety as a result of the fast-moving changes in government restructuring and tariff policies. Although we are hoping for the best end results, the overall business environment is very volatile.Our major concern is the effect of tariffs.[We are concerned about] tariff uncertainty and price increases, mostly related to products from China; plus, we are experiencing longer lead times for orders.Potential supply chain impacts of proposed tariffs are being evaluated industrywide.All of the uncertainty is slowing private business.Tariffs are bringing a high level of uncertainty to our business. It is hard to tell what will happen in one week, let alone six monthsThe on-again, off-again psychodrama in Washington with respect to tariffs is upsetting to almost the entirety of the business community. If the unprecedented tariffs continue, the commercial real estate and construction industries will slow to a halt soon.The current tariffs in effect will increase our cost of goods due to increased produce prices and certain imported proteins.The almost daily shifts on tariffs create havoc.People are acting almost in a panic about the economy.Tariffs [are a concern].We are highly concerned about a downturn in activity from a recession caused by the tariffs.[We are] devastated. We are a trucking company specializing in transporting international shipping containers, and there is no other word that captures what we are facing.We are becoming increasingly pessimistic.We are experiencing an unexpected decline in business activity. I see customers becoming more price sensitive and cutting back on general expenditures.And finally, 'chaos', 'erratic', and 'turmoil' at The White House summed up many people's perspectives:President Donald Trump has a very chaotic style of dealing with the economy.Erratic leadership style in Washington has led to high levels of uncertainty impacting decision making and spending.The insane chaos that is running the White House makes it impossible to plan anything.Daily instability in D.C. continues to create chaos.The randomness of our current president is causing paralysis.Uncertainty in the markets is a killer. Erratic behavior of leadership is even worse.We are devoting so much time to mitigating the chaos this administration is creating that we have little time left to run our business.Not a pretty picture... and remember, this is Texans.However, we did find one silver lining comment:I'm not too worried about the new tariffs. I think other countries will soon be negotiating with President Trump, and six months from now the national discussion will have moved on.Is there hope?"Consumers are on the fence. This will turn eventually." Tyler DurdenTue, 04/29/2025 - 10:45
