I mean the entire doge “savings” were instantly wiped out by the $200 billion increase in military spending. And I say savings incredibly generously because there are a ton of studies that say the agencies and people they cut will leave a hole in federal capabilities that will end up costing the American people way more than all of the money they claim to have saved (Some speculate the massive cuts to the IRS alone will end up costing about $1 trillion in lost tax collections).
But this combined with the cost of the shutdown and the farmer bailout and so much more is just icing on the cake I guess.
Oh yeah, for sure. Everything DOGE did was a farce, and it almost certainly lost more money than it saved. Even en if it didn’t, they blew any savings up on their first budget legislation. I just find it particularly hypocritical to cut $40 billion in global aid because, “we don’t have the money,” then turn around and spend $40 billion on global aid to a single country
has he even started bailing out the farmers yet? the gop is hoping the Ds come back into the power, so the gop can mess it up next election again. it will be a problem if the gop is still in power and they dont get to blame the Ds anymore.
