If you recall, Mad Max and her gang of ninety-five tried to take over the DOE yesterday to make her point. But, surprisingly, no one tried to hijack the Pentagon.
President Trump had promised to use Elon Musk during his campaign to head DOGE in order to identify government waste of taxpayer monies. Thus far, the USAID was essentially closed due to identified fraud and waste.
As reported in USA Today, Trump has talked about closing the Education Department. His administration is considering "options and how to reduce the size of the Department of Education if not abolish it completely," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News this week. Trump also said this week that putting his nominee to run the Education Department out of a job is a priority.
Cutting military spending could face more GOP resistance, but about 13% of the federal budget, $872 billion, goes toward defense spending, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. That makes it a prime target for potential cost savings.
However, Republicans have not reacted the way Mad Max and her gang did. Maybe reason is proving to be the sign of being the adult in the room. Or the Congress.
After all, isn’t the goal of everyone in the government to do right for the people they work for? You know… you and me??
Saving Americans their tax dollars should be the focus of all.
