DOGE is saving the Federal Government approx. $1 billion/day, mostly from stopping the hiring of people into unnecessary positions, deletion of DEI and stopping improper payments to foreign organizations, all consistent with the President’s Executive Orders.
A good start, though this number needs to increase to > $3 billion/day.

New Press Secretary Leavett mentioned today that they stopped a 5 million dollar payment for condums going to GAZA.
THAT would have been worth it if they infected them with a disease before they sent them.
A missed opportunity?

Cut ALL foreign welfare out. How can we justify borrowing from China to give to a foreign country?

It’s a great start.
They need to cut off social security to illegal aliens who were here for a short time and then returned to live in Mexico. I know it is happening because their children have said so.

Well you know what, until they call you to straighten things out and get to the 5 billion, I’ll take it! :)

Hamas was using condoms somehow as IED’s, according to an earlier thread posted here.

True,
“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” — Lao Tzu
“The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.” - Walt Disney
“What is not started today is never finished tomorrow.” – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is not the “start” I am worried about...it is the “finish” and the next “not-a-budget” continuing resolution/appropriations bill that is coming soon.

No offense intended. The numbers get really large when the Fed Gov starts talking, a billion here and a billion there and pretty soon your talking about Big Money.
Imagine how large a shipment 50 Million dollars of Condoms are.
Of course, I don’t believe that is how it would have been spent.

To balance the budget, there needs to be a cut of something approaching 2 trillion $ a year. or like 5 billions a day!
