About this episode

Trump's Trials is now Trump's Terms. Each episode, host Scott Detrow curates NPR coverage of the incoming Trump administration.

This episode: what would it mean to cut trillions of dollars from the federal budget — and is it even possible? NPR's Michel Martin speaks to Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a think tank that supports cutting federal spending and lowering the national debt.
