Hard to implement doge when the primary goal of congress is to spend more and more. And they have to agree to spend more or the committee chairman and key senators will hold things up.
DOGE achieved its mission to show us the problems. It was never meant to solve it.
And we are making advances, there is no doubt about that. So many want a quick and easy solution. No such thing.
Nothing changes till the money stops.
Since Congress and WE are not doing our job, there is Plan B still in the works. We have witnessed a major world power go bankrupt in our lifetime.
but it was all worth it to support the 100s of millions of illegals so they can diversify our communities....
and G W MORON’s banker bailouts and foreign wars and Biden’s cronies’ grift in Ukraine... totally worth it folks. The MIC thanks you for your support.
the U.S. federal budget deficit has gone down compared to the previous fiscal year, decreasing by approximately $50 billion or 2.8% in FY2025 to $1.78 trillion.
It’s a start
Those that control the purse strings could restore fiscal sanity. They cannot do it. We’re screwed. $40T deficit near.
Yes, and...we have a gutless majority in Congress.
I don’t think this report includes tariff income
“””””What Musk is doing in trying to streamline the govt is admirable but ultimately it will be Congress that decides the endgame.””””
Congress is addicted to spending Other People’s Money and, as we all know, addiction is very difficult to stop.
I remember back 20 years ago when Pres. George W Bush told Congress that it was up to Congress to decide how much money should be spent.
Dubya wimped out back then and basically told Congress that they had a green light to spend, spend, spend.
And Obama and Biden took that message to heart and really went on a spending spree.
Thanks to the democrats and started by Obama
It’s says tariff s added 31 billion in October receipts.

This well be the case until COngress does its job to create a budget that spends less, instead of passiing CRs. But this is not the fault of DOGE at all.
Yes, and...we have a gutless majority in Congress.
I have observed a few businesses work their way out of bankruptcy. It takes very careful deliberate mgt to do so.
Every decision has unintended consequences.
You do not turn a battleship around on a time, it will tip over.
I for one am pleased with the careful mgt I am seeing. Too much to quick creates chaos. And that is where the other type of revolution kicks in which is what the other side wants. They want to destroy.
Remember, most of your opinion is influenced by the media. They don’t want you to see the advances that are being made.
Sorry… but this problem goes back a LOT further than Obama and Biden. I’ve been concerned about it for 50 years. Somehow, we’ve always managed to pull through. But when we’re spending 25% of our income on interest, and printing money to produce a third of our revenue, the remaining time cannot be long.
I’ve given up. I think we’re incapable of fixing this
Imagine what it would have been without the DOGE cuts!
Spending like drunken sailors except when it comes to a $2,000 one time dividend to the people. Then they get money conscious. We can’t afford it.
Thanks
