Doge faced constant headwinds. Let that sink in. Clearly, a large contingent of politicians do not care about the deficit.

House controls the purse; until we fix the House and get them to stop passing massive spending bills, this is not going to stop.

DOGE never had the ability to stop spending, and it found minutia on the fringe and non-fraud programs like USAID

Trump signed the spending into law. The President has just as much ownership of the spending as Congress

If you really thought a 19yo named Big Balls was really going to fix our complex financial woes you got nobody to blame but yourself.

Democrats unilaterally opposed DOGE's efforts. It cannot be denied.

Republicans have complete control of every branch of government.
If they egregiously overpromised and woefully underperformed that’s not Dems fault.

DOGE never had a chance to make any meaningful impact
It's one of those ideas that we'll look back on and say "seemed like a good idea at the time"

and people are voting for free college, healthcare, etc
Neither party has the balls to cut a single government program. I guess there too busy accumulating vasts amounts wealth.

They also opposed the massive tax cuts

The deficit is over 6% of total GDP. So we need to grow the economy at a rate 7% or better to grow ourselves out of debt.

Democrats openly opposed and interfered in DOGE's efforts. That is a fact that was easily seen at the time and easily proven now.
You keep trying to pivot.
