“Between an influx of funding for agencies that serve the president’s interests and cuts to departments that will ultimately cost taxpayers later on, it’s clear Republicans have no interest in curbing spending. Our tax dollars aren’t just being used to fund cruelty – they’re being used to fund idiocy. The aforementioned Big Beautiful Bill – now law – is projected to add $3.4 trillion to the already gargantuan national debt, all while decimating Medicaid access and gutting federal agencies. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) didn’t live up to its name, only saving approximately $1.4 billion, according to Politico, and ultimately costing the U.S. government thanks to lawsuits.” (02/09/26)
