New York Got $80 Million for Migrants. The White House Took It Back.
To be clear: this isn't the "we stopped paying promised grant money" but is literally the federal government yanking money out of an NYC bank account.
Wait a second, the federal government takes money back from New York City, but Trump and Musk are running around cutting every program in site and nobody is talking about refunding the taxpayers? Gtfo…
They are working on a tax cut bill.
I don’t want a tax cut. I wanna reimbursement because the truth is, we authorized our government to spend that money years ago. In some cases like USAID -we authorized the spending of that money decades ago.  if the United States government doesn’t want to spend that money anymore than there should’ve been legislature, but also they don’t get a free check to just spend it on whatever the fuck they want. They should have to pass new legislation before they spend any more taxpayer money on new projects. And since they haven’t passed any new legislation, they should give us our money back. 
if we set the precedence that the government can change, budget funding strategy like this, it would allow the government to raise billions of dollars for one purpose , and then suddenly take that billion dollars, and spend it on something that it wasn’t originally meant for.
Edit;; corrected word precedence. 
That is disingenuous bullshit. The tax cut is for corporations and the wealthy. No one in the middle class or lower will see a drop of tax savings.
For the rich.
