In an interview on Power & Politics, (David Paterson, Ontario's representative in Washington) told host David Cochrane that the Canadians and Americans had a 90-minute meeting and the first half-hour was "a master class" from Lutnick in breaking down the U.S. position on tariffs.

The focus of the U.S. government is dealing with its yearly deficit in federal spending, Paterson said. According to the U.S. Treasury Department, the federal government ran a $1.83 trillion US deficit in the 2024 fiscal year.

There are three ways the U.S. government is working to cut down that deficit, Paterson added.

The first is a major budget resolution that calls for billions of dollars in tax cuts, and the second is slashing the size of government through Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency. The third is tariffs, which are meant to be a new revenue source and attract investment into the United States.

Sorry I was using the colloquial term for getting fucked from behind in an unpleasant way which may be regional.

Sounds like ream can refer to being cheated or victimized which would work too but wouldn't have the same oomph.

Amazing how flexible language can be when you can read at higher than a grade 6 level.

They are both spelled 'ream'; the slang term comes from the tool, which is inserted into a pipe or hole and rotated to deburr or enlarge the hole

Compare "reaming someone out" to "chewing someone out" and "chewing someone a new asshole"

Interesting, the slang term is spelled as reem where I'm at, and has much more sexual connotations than whatever that tool is meant to do.
