Koan, from the article, For the year, the deficit totaled $1.15 trillion through the first five months of fiscal 2025. Wow, we're already on track to exceed $2T in deficit spending. And all the Muskperger could find thus far in terms of "fraud, waste, and abuse" is maybe about $35B of "woke" spending. Even if Musk ends up firing 25% of all federal employees (which is ridiculous), he will still only end up saving the government pennies on the dollar. The writing is on the wall. Trump will have to gut Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. And all those MAGA cultists who are living on fixed incomes and believe Trump will make them all rich are going to wake the fukk up.
