Just a note on this one - the $160B was what was already saved when I listened to the meeting last night. They also said significantly more has been identified and is in process though I didn’t catch that number. I do know that on the one of the DOGE sites they had a lot of things IDd with some requiring legislation, some claw backs, etc
