If we just had a Department of Government Efficiency or something like that....

We’ve added $2.5 trillion to the budget since Covid and that doesn’t even count the fraud prior to Covid. All of that needs to go and we would have a surplus easily.
So what you’re telling me is Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security don’t need to be touched. Just get rid of the fraud, and we’re all good?

Economics was part of my major, but if you can read a pie chart of the federal budget you can see what the money is being spent on, you don't need a degree.
Medicare/Medicaid, and Social Security.
Of course there's some fraud there, but unless it's about 30% or more in those categories and about 60% or more in all the rest combined (and there's no way that's true), then we're still headed over the cliff.
If you think that's the case, go ahead and say so and I'll leave you to it. There's no discussing something with an IQ that low.
