"No one is cheering government waste. " Of course they aren't. This was all hidden from us for the last 4 years (and probably longer). "This is an utterly delusional view." All of these articles and interviews only show anger about the people being fired and even when there are examples of waste, it's completely ignored. Who is the delusional one here? "Turn off your computer, go outside, and talk to real human beings." Seeing as how the current administration currently has a very high approval rating, I don't think this is going to go they way you think it will.

  I normally don't like to do homework for random people on HN, but it's roughly 52% at the moment: https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5161231-trump-holds-52-percent-approval-rating-after-first-month-in-office/ https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5161231-trump-ho...

    That's one poll of less than 3,000 people and an outlier. Reuters has: Trump approval rating holds steady at 44% https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-approval-rating-holds-steady-44-reutersipsos-poll-finds-2025-02-25/ https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-approval-rating-holds... and the poll aggregate ATM have him under 50% with more against than for. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/favorability/donald-trump/ https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/favorability/dona...

Remind me: what was the national debt on 1/20/2017 and 1/20/2021? How's that old saying go about trying the same thing multiple times and expecting different outcomes?

> This was all hidden from us for the last 4 years (and probably longer). What, precisely was hidden? Government spending is highly public, the only difference now is that you have people misrepresenting or outright lying about it for political reasons.
