Nov 22

holding back money THAT WAS ALREADY ALLOCATED......... Focusing on just Blue States and Blue Cities......
Colorado and Denver's budgets are in turmoil.....he is also messing big time with large federal agencies as well as businesses and Corporations that are centered here in Colorado. Same with other Blue cities and states.....
A prime example is the so called "Space Agency" headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado.....he is moving it to some southern state who votes for him.
A billions of dollars a year, going out of that city alone, with thousands of jobs also going bye-bye. Actually Colorado Springs is about as RED a city as you can get, so he has obviously started screwing even his own voters, and their local Republican Politicians......
