Blanket cutting 50% is such an irresponsible idea. It's this thought process that led to DOGE cutting the jobs of people tasked with managing nuclear waste site...and nuclear weapons silos, as a single example in a sea of them.
Also, they aren't cutting into anything that is meaningful. To date they have cut less then 1% of the GDP from the budget, because 60+% is tied up in defense, Medicare, Medicaid, and social security. You want real savings, you're going to have to make the extremely unpopular choice to cut from popular programs.
There is so much waste, abuse, fraud, and corruption in our government. It’s absolutely ridiculous. You say it’s not much, but we need to cut spending. If we don’t cut the deficit, we as a country will never survive. The interest on the debt will eat us alive.
There are way too many people in government jobs
Cut 50%, see what happens
Then adjust from there

What, if anything, should observers understand about DOGE from their actions on the LPO to date?
