Yeah, Congress passes funding resolutions and the President oversees the spending.
But what measures should they take to reduce spending? Because from what I know they were spending more than what was coming into their economy and that is totally harmful.

There are lots of good options, but they aren't likely to do them:
- Bring the troops home and sell off the foreign bases
- End all corporate subsidies
- Smooth out the welfare cliffs
- End "foreign aid"
- Relocate federal agencies away from DC (it's the most expensive place in the country)
- Rescind locality pay for remote eligible workers
- Cut departments and agencies down to their minimal size
- Give managers/directors/secretaries bonuses for reducing expenses
- Sell off or rent out federal lands and properties

That's how the government is, that's how the system is. They know the solution but not the practice.
