Except Congress decides what the government will spend money on. Impoundment of appropriated funds -- what DOGE is doing -- requires the consent of congress[0]. If the Impoundment Control Act is thrown out, no institution will be safe, including the military, social security and medicare. Every program will be at the whim of whatever administration is in power at the time. $50B effective military budget will finally be possible under the next democratic administration--no matter if congress disagrees. And that's a very radical take on government. Even if that sounds good to you, the vast majority of americans do support at least some government programs. Social Security has significant support, for example. 0. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impoundment_of_appropriated_funds https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impoundment_of_appropriated_fu...
