New Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)

With the size of China's navy now exceeding ours, we need the submarines.

Ya, cause they have hundreds more patrol vessels, not because they have actual war ships.

Where is the fiscal conservatism? I thought we were trying to stop unnecessary spending?

Last night, they passed the CR bill, which included around $100 billion in new spending. This was passed under suspension of the rules, requiring a two-thirds vote to pass the House.

A few items were cut from the original bill, including:

• $3 billion for building a new football stadium in D.C.
  
• Pay raises for Congress
  

I would have liked to see them also cut the $12 billion allocated for new submarines, which we don’t need.

We’ll take this as a win, considering DOGE blocked the first bill and secured some small cuts. It’s going to be a long battle against the establishment to achieve any significant spending reductions.

I thought the win was cutting trillions of dollars from Social Security and Medicare?

It is just cope. All Musk managed to do was stir up confusion and cut the aforementioned as well as things like children’s cancer research. It did practically nothing to reduce the budget.
