Summary

Donald Trump appointed billionaires and major donors like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead his new “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE), aiming to cut $2 trillion from federal spending and dismantle regulations.

DOGE will operate outside federal oversight, focusing on slashing programs and weakening regulatory agencies, including the IRS and Department of Education.

Critics warn that DOGE and broader deregulatory measures will benefit wealthy corporations, aligning with Trump’s agenda to extend tax cuts for the rich and favor oligarchic interests over public welfare, further cementing U.S. plutocracy.

    The way it’s looking is almost a guarantee that crime will have to increase as well. Which they’ll try to crack down on hard, which just means compressing and compressing anger until it finally explodes with people slaughtering the rich and burning down their houses and businesses.

    They’ll act like the people are the criminals, yet the people were the ones being stolen from the entire time, and had no justice being dealt.
