No doubt about it that the Federal agencies should regularly be reviewed and vetted as to whether we’re spending our tax dollars wisely. This should be a Congressionally driven process in coordination with the Executive Branch. But I agree with Deidre, the Trump Administration is way way out of bounds, and the Constitution, with what it’s doing – and really is serving the interest of the wealthy. He’s convinced the his MAGA followers that the government is the problem.

People being laid off, research halted, the stock market crashing, measles outbreaks, First Amendment rights trampled, and unfathomable corruption taking place. So much winning! For Billionaires and Putin!
Thanks to all who sat this one out or voted for the destruction of our government, our allies, and civility.
Destroying the economy at the same time as the government is dismantled is an
OBVIOUS recipe to end the United States that we have known and loved. And sadly, there is no plan to rebuild our government after DOGE has finished it. The only victory here is Putin’s. He must be elated. He defeated the United States without a single battle. Trump has done it for him.

Oh, you want to talk of “squandered dollars”? Elon Musk’s companies, Tesla and SpaceX, have received at least $38 billion in government contracts, loans, subsidies, and tax credits over the past 20 years.
But he needs more to be a trillionaire, so gutting SS, Medicare and Medicaid will be ripe for his takeover.

Curious that the House Republicans are getting such angry pushback from their districts that they’ve been told not to hold town halls. Harris has been on this track forever. Wanker.

Mr. Trump, in securing the assistance of Mr. Musk, has set a course to eliminate the spending of taxpayer dollars that do not deliver measurable and pertinent positive results for citizens of the U.S. Not everyone is happy with the progress being made in that vein, nor was everyone pleased with how many dollars were being squandered.

Now would be a wonderful time for Democrats to end their defense of wild spending and get on board with the ending of such programs which cost exorbitant taxpayer dollars Without delivering commensurate results.
