Whatever is cut they will come back with Ukraine, or green deal, or build back, etc.

Not only do we overspend but now we have to come in every year and add covid, build back better, green new deal, etc. to load back whatever was cut plus more gravy.
Our politicians are actually arguing we should not cut out the hundreds of billions of double billing the states are thiefing out of medicaid.
And heaven forbid we cut a couple hundred billion in waste out of the military.

This is a huge point many have missed. The "historic cuts" are to future growth and that's only in an ideal environment. There are no spending ceilings in the bill and it does not stop spending growth (which is the real problem).
The closest we get to that is a cancellation ceiling on the penalties the federal government would have to pay for early termination of certain long-term contracts entered into by the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management.
This means that, for example, there's no block for simply increasing spending on a different program then IAT'ing it to the agency it would have gone to in the first place.

This is not a budget bill. Charley Kirk explained all that yesterday. You should watch his podcast. It’s a reconciliation bill. These 2 are separate.

The public is addicted to government spending.
I guess they figure cutting it off cold turkey may kill us.

I tried listening but Stephen Miller's constant use of uptalk was like nails on a chalkboard. Someone who habitually ends most or all sentences at a higher pitch like he did comes across to me begging for reassurance while trying to project confidence. At one point he was nearly shouting, which came across to me as massive desperation that I buy what he was selling.
I couldn't make it much beyond the point where he explained how ICE hasn't had a single extra position since it was formed over twenty years ago (now compare that to the rest of the federal government).

Approximately 25%-30% of all Americans are on at least one of the following: Medicare, Medicaid, SSI, Section 8, WIC or SNAP. Cutting those all off cold turkey would create riots (nothing motivates action like starving). Along with that, it would gut the economy as so much spending would just evaporate (at least for a considerable amount of time), thus very likely plunging us into a depression. Without another WW2 style conflict (one which decimates much of the non-US manufacturing while leaving the US unscathed and ready to fill that vacuum), I don't think we would recover from that for a very, very long time.

Well not all of ours.
But Roger’s for sure.

All their kick backs and theft are all tied to different deals that are providing the same fake surface level thing. They can’t cut any of it bc they’d be cutting off a revenue source

Correct.
The budget we are currently working with was passed in October of 2024.
So Thomas Massie and Rand Paul’s budget.
