"Despite the administration's claims, not a single one of those 1.4 billion dollars will lower the federal deficit unless Congress steps in. Instead, the money has been returned to agencies mandated by law to spend it."

Absolutely PERFECT evidence that liberals need to see. What this is complaining about is that a government agency didn't do enough because they have to depend on other government agencies. THIS is the government bloat so many talk about but so many liberals want more of. Maybe DOGE could have done more had there not been a million checks and balances blocking them. In fact, maybe more of our government agencies could be more efficient without DOGE if it wasn't for regulations and roadblocks at every turn. This article makes me believe there is hope for liberals regarding this topic. You may disagree with everything DOGE has done but now I'm seeing the unintended positive side effect where liberals are forced to actually see how their want for government bloat only makes things worse.

But also, not one person will ever convince me that saving money is a bad thing like liberals have been trying to get Americans to except since DOGE. However, the main reason I want DOGE to be successful is so that when liberals have power again, they will try to one-up Reps. And this is an instance in which one-uping is a fantastic thing instead of just a stupid partisan pendulum that only moves us backwards.
