Yea that’s fair. I’d be a whole lot more team Doge if we had cut Israel off from the aid train. Medicaid cuts will have impacts and not just political ones to your point. That said, they’re also dealing with the math problem that ends in insolvency so I can’t respect that if they’re truly trying to solve that problem they’re going to break some things along the way.

And cuts to social security and Medicaid, if enacted as musk wants, will.
I personally feel cuts and waste can and SHOULD be made. But there should be a plan, not just overnight cuts that Elon then reinstates because they were a mistake? It’s horribly mismanaged. I think Washington has a huge spending problem. I do think the federal government should be smaller and there’s lots to be cut, FOR SURE. Including many jobs.
By why only to entitlements, while the defense budget grows? Where’s doge there?
