They are cutting social programs. 
I’d rather see non discretionary spending be cut.

House Republicans just introduced the DOGE Act. The bill cuts non-military spending by $114 billion, shrinking programs for energy, climate, health, transportation, veterans, education, economy, and more.

The DOGE Act reduces Pentagon spending by $0. https://t.co/YKdm8xGDhB

I’m one who thinks pentagon funding should be held up just because America has too many enemies.

Someone should tell them, cut everything that actually helps people but leave the Pentagon untouched. Why fix the real problems when you can just keep funneling money into endless wars and corporate giveaways?

Power consolidation=evil.

The reduction is from an unspecified amount to $597,000,000,000. 

So I’m assuming we’d have to know the previous number which was 114B more? Possibly?

I was going to post this too and I'm pretty sure Elon/Vivek team will go for a plan like that, but after looking at the link (second tweet), it seems a bit different than what it's saying in the original tweet. It's disaster offset and gov't efficiency (not dept of gov't efficiency), and I couldn't find the 114b figure

Of course it would come for social programs. Just the wrong ones😭

Lmfao i mean where did you actually think the money was coming from 😂😂😂

Slashing education? Reduces productivity and a prepared workforce
Slashing health? Increases existing health disparities. 

I’m down with slashing. But let’s focus on the real spending issue which balloons our debts first. Which is social security and Medicare.

Screengrab of the DOGE Act. Underlined text: "Disaster Offset and Government Efficiency Act." "In subsection (c)(10)(b), by striking the dollar amount and inserting $597,000,000,000.
