On one hand that’s good. On the other hand that’s a concerning approach to financial management

Only concerning to those who control the capital (and the plebs that have been convinced that one day they will be in that position, and when that happens, they'd have reason to be concerned. Any day now).

Not everyone puts the same value on the accumulation of material things (including wealth). In fact, there are many of us who are only really interested in having the means to live a comfortable life and provide for our families.

Everything beyond that is unnecessary to us, and we find the constant, dogged pursuit of wealth at all costs, and the pure avarice that is borne (on a massive, planetary scale) because of it, to be abhorrent.

It seems like that was more of a gesture when he took office than a financial strategy.
