“Emmitsburg Mayor Frank Davis voted for Donald Trump in hopes he would cut federal spending. Now Davis hopes those cuts don’t include the permanent cancellation of classes at the National Fire Academy, which is part of the town’s identity and helps drive its economy. Davis is also a chief at Emmitsburg’s firehouse, known as the Vigilant Hose Company.”
Trump killed the Fema training academy. It’s not coming back.
Everyone knows the parts of the federal government they have involvement with aren’t all that wasteful. The sad truth is we’re very, very far away from conservative voters realizing the rest of the government is about the same, and the wealthy just use the idea of wasteful spending as a red herring to distract from their taxes being unsustainably low.
There’s an entire nations budget worth of wasteful spending in the military.
