Senior officials have been locked out of key systems, limiting oversight of DOGE’s actions, which could significantly impact the federal workforce.
It does because our debt is exploding. In part because of Trump’s first term when he lowered taxes and increased spending. I believe that we have more than enough income to pay for better services, but the government is kneecapped by an incredible amount of bloat that needs to be cut out, things that do not serve the average American needs to go.
We’re in an extremely dire position as a nation and both parties refuse to acknowledge this and would rather just keep going bau. This is the closest we’ve ever come but it’s going to destroy the country in the process. We need experts to come in and tweak things, not idiots and interns with chainsaws.
This is why so many Americans are just quietly letting it happen, but I don’t think they realize quite how dangerous these type of reforms are. It’s all very exciting to them because they’ve been fantasizing about if for so long.
