$770B for "Inflation Reduction," $470B for "student loan repayment," $52.7B for "semiconductor chip act," $3B for "aid to Ukraine." Meanwhile, a report released in May by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) warns that current federal spending is at an unsustainable level and puts the country’s financial health at risk.
