What You Can Do If the Government Reduces Spending On Other Services
To some degree, you just have to bite the bullet if and when the government reduces spending on services. If your Social Security benefits get cut, for example, or the highway near your house doesn’t get needed repairs, you can’t directly influence that.
The best you can do is to build up your emergency reserves to cover things such as income shortfalls from reduced Social Security benefits or car repairs from poor road conditions. The more you can be self-sufficient and not rely on government programs, the less likely you are to be impacted.
