Trump’s new Sec of Treasury 3-3-3 plan

DOGE will address DOD, they must. DOD is the biggest elephant in the room with the most fat to cut. If it were up to Elon they would end the F35 and invest in low cost defense and attack drones. Boom, there’s $100B.
I’ll believe that when I see it - not disagreeing with you; but you know even republicans are going to fight cuts to the DoD.

Trump’s new Sec of Treasury 3-3-3 plan

On the face of it, reducing the deficit isn't enough on the spending side. The budget needs to be balanced, and future spending needs to be capped at 18% of GDP until we pay down the debt to a level where debt service is no more than 10% of the budget. Military spending should be the first cut.

For those buying into the flawed notion there's not much that can be cut, baseline spending is over $3T more than it was just 8 years ago. I wonder how we managed to get by back in 2016 without that spending....
This is partly why I’d like to start this process with a full top to bottom audit - ID where there’s waste ; such as projects over budget, pilfering, etc.

Return to the pay as you go rules from the ‘90s.
Freeze new tax cuts until the deficit/debt reaches the benchmarks you laid out.

Elon Musk publicized the names of government employees he wants to cut. It’s terrifying federal workers

Terrified that they are going to lose their jobs? Fine.

Terrified because they've been called out on social media by a powerful billionaire with millions of followers? That's different. This is despicable behavior by a man that has everything - except a conscious.
It gives me great pleasure that the US versions of Comrade Yeltin (sp?) and Comrade Kaprugina are living in fear. You might call it a “guilty pleasure”, except that I feel no guilt.
