The entire purpose of this project is to shift more wealth to those already wealthy. Even if DOGE has saved real money (already debatable since they're shady af), the American people will see none of it. It will go towards making additional tax cuts for the rich look better on paper.

I fucking hate the way they get to frame this. They aren't saving us anything, none of us are getting any money "back" and our taxes sure as hell aren't going to be reduced. All he's doing is opening up more room to cut taxes on the ultra wealthy...
Cory Booker is literally doing a live marathon protest speech on the Senate floor right now. He just mentioned how retired military experts and officials said that the military is the place to cut government costs, not essential services for vulnerable Americans. They told him frankly there are ways to make us safer, more efficient and productive, while saving billions. Also they are the only federal agency that has never been able to pass a financial audit. Ever...
the defense budget is like, 800+bn a year, and half of it goes to wasteful spending on defense contractors, and then theres the billions we give to certain countries like israel. someone on reddit mentioned it takes 200bn of that budget to solve the healthcare problems in america, or at elast some of the cost. tricare for military is fully universal, they know they can do it, but the GOP is against it because they need a wedge issue to remain in power.

How does one save Americans $130 billion with a $1 trillion deficit reduction?
IRS says he didnt save anything but cost the country half a trillion dollars.
Cherry picking information. Leaving out facts to make them look like they're doing good shit, happens all the time.
I remember back in about 2016-17, Colorado issued a massive report about how their legalization went, and the impact it had on society. It was a fucking awesome read!!
Then the Norwegian police rewards the report, and states to the media that there is proof in the report that nothing good comes out of legalization; the police used only the facts that more people were now driving while intoxicated.
Of course, that stat is not a lie, but they left out the positive facts that legalization, and for a reason: the Norwegian police use drug offences to bump their crime solving rate.
So he's saying he's never going to step down?
Considering he's so far cost the government more than he's made, he won't be getting to that trillion by May or anytime soon.
