It can be done but it’s going to take several administrations with discipline to do so. My hope is that this first stab at true budget reform with success will cause it to be a mandate from candidates on either side going forward.I'm all for cleaning up what you can... but it's going to be a rather giant spending number regardless, was my main point. (part of this is inflation and population + the fact that we provide a robust social safety net and a robust military -- neither of which seem likely to change)
But yeah, get debt under control.

The federal deficit in 2023 was $1.7 trillion, equal to 6.3 percent of gross domestic product.www.cbo.gov
By coincidence Soros spent part of 2024 buying up radio stations to push NEWSPEAK dystopian leftist talking points. Glad to know U.S. taxpayers are subsidizing a NAZI billionaire's quest to destroy freedom and the middle class.
They're not going to clean up dumb spending and you do not have to hand it to them.
This isn't anything close to "budget reform". Just the idiocy. Trump may be in the process of destroying the United States Government, may take decades to recover from this. Let alone the national security implications of what's been going on.
Why are you against transparency and for foolish/reckless spending some of which is against the best interests of our country? Is your tribalism that powerful?
Translation = Trump could cure cancer and he wouldn't want him to succeed.
Explains why the state is an absolute joke. Well doneAttender, I'm on the committee.
You seriously think you're getting transparency and the exposure of foolish/reckless spending here? Musk and his teenagers swarm in and in a few days uncover all sorts of corruption and wasteful spending?
Oh Pajamaboy ... grow up.

After seeing an explanation, It's actually pretty close to a traditional way...other than they're breaking tradition by actually following through (unlike the bush and Clinton admins). Here's an interview from Bloomberg explaining the process a little better:
Lol, who's the douchebag who "has no position?" I seriously hope he's unemployed by now.
If you find yourself worried about "what will russia think" you have already lost. It would be impossible for me to give less of a shit about what the most corrupt country on the planet thinks. We are finally addressing the rot, and nobody will be thrown out of a window.
Why didn’t Breadbags and Sleepy Chuck uncover this waste? Marco Rubio was a strong backer for years, and he only now discovered this massive fraud and waste? What has MMM been doing with all this rampant fraud and waste going on?
Such a dumb little monkey you are.
The real transparency comes from Democrats like yourself during this moment of time. Your definition of transparency and accountability is the country being run by Dictators like Biden and Obama. And you wanted another Dictator in HARRIS.
are you really this sanguine about the allegations? it’s obviously very preliminary but nothing that is alleged makes you sit up and worry? it is possible to be a trump detractor but have serious concerns about how and why money is funneled via usaid instead if other avenues that receive more sunlight. that said no doubt like most areas there will be legit and good fund use also.
What are the serious allegations? The stuff I read on Twitter was rather hyperbolic and conspiratorial sounding. I'm evidence based.
You morons. Fixating on the penny in my pocket as indicating I'm getting my finances in order is worse than worthless in that endeavor.
I only care about the dems because I'd rather have them in power than the current set of criminal republicans
Congress has been delegating more and more power to the executive for decades. Not good.

Why don't you provide proof of fraud between the Federal Government and Tesla/Starlink? If Musk was truly such a threat then why didn't Biden revoke his security clearance for the 4 years he was in office?
