    “If Americans want large spending — they don’t want to touch Social Security. They don’t want to touch Medicaid. They don’t want to touch Medicare. They want all the tax credits for this green energy and this child tax credit and this and that — then they should pay more taxes,” de Rugy said.

    What a fucking crock. They could pay for it all by cutting military spending by a fraction of a percent.

      I never heard of DOGE in any military branch.

      If there is anywhere that wasteful spending, corruption and embezzlement, or just plain incompetence in keeping track of the money, then it’s in the military.

      You wouldn’t even need to cut anything, just make sure the military doesn’t waste the money it gets.
