- array_key_first 8mo agoWell we tried the "burn it all down" approach with DOGE and the BBB and we got... -2 trillion in savings? Really? Wow, okay. The truth is nobody wants to solve the deficit. It's a self eating beast at this point and simply cutting funding for a bunch of shit won't solve it. A lot of these things are fundamentally the federal governments concern, whether people admit it or not.
