Trump and Musk said DOGE could cut the annual federal budget by $2T. They lied.

Bankruptcy works for those with all the money...and here I am referring to the bankruptcy of America, a nation that cannot, or simply will not pay its debts. That is why taxes are being reduced for those with a lot of money, they know what is coming and they don't care that the social networks will be hammered. Think jerks like Musk and Ellison are about shoring up Social Security? Musk will end up killing many many thousands with his attack on USAID.
