It’s not that “always” is strong, it’s that it’s totally meaningless.
Of course you can always make cuts. But cutting budget isn’t just cutting money, it’s almost always (outside of rare exceptions) cutting something of value. Just like fat, people say “trim the fat” but there’s good fat and there’s bad fat.
It’s just nonsense corporate speak that makes people feel important but ultimately it has no substance.
I think most people understand that the reasons budgets almost always go one way in government is because that’s the direction population and costs are almost going.
