What is the point of all of this? Reducing federal income taxes? It seems to me that these people are pushing a rope if that's the goal.
For example, USAID is 1% of federal spending, but buys the US a disproportionate amount of soft power and good will for that investment.

I don't see DOGE solving an actual problem, and even if it did, this is a horribly incompetent way to go about it.
