House approves DOGE cuts.

Now off to the Senate.
I didn’t believe them when they said they couldn’t put the DOGE cuts in the BBB because it was a reconciliation bill.
Looks like they may have been telling the truth. This is good. Get everyone on record opposing or supporting paying to mutilate the genitals of mentally unstable people around the globe.
$9.4b is Chikin-shit. I want the big bucks clawed back, $600b

DOGE $180b
 
$9.4b is Chikin-shit. I want the big bucks clawed back, $600b

DOGE $180b
I want it clawed back to $4 trillion total spending, with further cuts every year. With current revenues that gives about a trillion per year to pay down the debt.
 
Honestly, this is like taking a table spoon to drain the Pacific.
I'll take it, but I'm not deluded into thinking that it amounts to anything more that a shiney object to distract from the Big Bulbous Bill.

True, it's a start, but it really needs to be 10X as much to be effective, and 100X more to be stupendous.

PBS and NPR are low-hanging fruit, but I expect a lot more of what DOGE found cut in the future to make me happy.
 
Take a look at a sample of DOGE "Greatest hits" you can't make this stuff up. While not Trillions these things add up to Billions for certain. Note: I can't p;aste them all. See DOGE.gov Stain will simply post "not true" as they run to other threads to make fools of themselves. Whole page of nonsense. Probably going on for decades? #ANGER_MUCH? If you click into them you can see the text and payments, all of it.

ABSTRACT
bluefade.jpg

Decades of reform efforts in mathematics education continue to fail Black and Latinx children, in part, because parents are excluded from decisions about school mathematics. Nonetheless, Black and Latinx families often persist in supporting their individual children, but a shift toward collective organizing among parents as change agents in school mathematics is necessary for meeting the needs of every student. This project explores possibilities for localized change led by parents. By making explicit how to foster and increase Black and Latinx parents? engagement in solidarity with community organizations and teachers, this project could provide a model for other communities and schools seeking to advance racial justice in mathematics education.

Through critical community-engaged scholarship and in collaboration with ten Black and Latinx families, ten teachers, and two community organizations, the research team will co-design and co-study two educational programs aimed at advancing racial justice in elementary mathematics. The first program seeks to build parents? capacity to catalyze change across classrooms and schools within their local communities; and the second program will provide teacher professional development that supports elementary teachers of mathematics to learn with and from Black and Latinx families. A mixed methods research design that utilizes narrative inquiry and social network analysis will facilitate refinement of the educational program models by addressing two research objectives: (1) to understand the experiences of Black and Latinx parents as they build capacity to lead change and (2) to study the development, nature, and impact of parent-teacher-community partnerships that promote a shared vision for racial justice in mathematics. Findings could extend the field's understanding of community-initiated and community-led change in school mathematics and produce a model that helps ensure increased access and opportunity for Black and Latinx students in mathematics education.

The Discovery Research preK-12 program (DRK-12) seeks to significantly enhance the learning and teaching of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) by preK-12 students and teachers, through research and development of innovative resources, models and tools. Projects in the DRK-12 program build on fundamental research in STEM education and prior research and development efforts that provide theoretical and empirical justification for proposed projects. This is a Faculty Early Career Development Program project responsive to a National Science Foundation-wide activity that offers the most prestigious awards in support of early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education.

This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
 
Filtered down to the Biggest fundings. With titles so weird you have to open them up to find out what it is? DeConlonizing the curriculum $10.8M? To DEPT of EDUCATION? I thought they already had over $100B funding?
