DOGE is there to cut government spending and that is not a bad thing as there is a lot of unnecessary spending has occurred..
Having said that, DOGE has not gone after defense spending and there is at least $60 billion that cut be cut there:
Trump and Musk have not specifically targeted defense spending
DOGE, led by Elon Musk, is working to cut federal spending, shrink the government's workforce, and increase the efficiency of federal agencies. While DOGE has targeted various government agencies, including the Department of Education, it has not specifically targeted defense spending
What DOGE has targeted so far is Education and US Aid to other countries. Is less Education good? Targeting US. Aid does mean that a lot of U.S. companies will be affected as U.S. companies are the ones that make and provide aid to the other countries and totally cutting the aid, will cause these companies to lose money.
As I have always said about Trump, it is not about the issues but about competence. Most everything he does is incompetently done and as such, it fails.
It can also be said that Musk in this respect, does not know what he is doing. He is a successful businessman in things he knows about, but when getting into something NEW, he has shown some rash and incompetent moves. For example, he bought Twitter and proceeded to make budget cuts and changes and Twitter (now known as X), has lost 75% of its business and the stock suffered the same fate, in spite of the fact during all this time, the stock market has made new all-time highs repeatedly.
Incompetence always ends up doing more harm than good and that is what we are seeing now. The Trump supporters constantly key on the issues but NEVER key on competency. Why?
