Summary

Vivek Ramaswamy, recently appointed to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has proposed defunding federal programs that lack current congressional authorization.

This could affect programs like veterans’ healthcare, NASA, and early education initiatives, which still receive funding despite expired authorizations.

Ramaswamy argues that cutting these programs could save billions, and he’s committed to targeting expenditures that “don’t advance the interests of American citizens.”

DOGE, co-led by Elon Musk, aims to curb government spending, with Musk estimating potential cuts of up to $2 trillion.

          Dems did not move to the right at all in this election. If anything Harris policies went beyond Biden.

              What an ignorant vague assertion with no evidence.

                If you didn’t see the multiple advertisements and news articles over the last year of Democrats trying to get Republican votes and Kamala getting endorsed by Republicans then you truly are ignorant

                  There is nothing at all wrong with Kamala being endorsed by Republicans if the reason is that Republicans are putting party before country. All that matters would be if they affected her policy positions, which they did not.
