The people give the government about $5 Trillion to run the government. The Govt spends around $7 Trillion...we can't continue down that path...

We need indivual funding bills. No more omnibus bills. Way too much gets hidden.

Musk wants to run America like a free market business. Only hire competent/qualified people, accountability, etc. Unfortunately, that means all the incompetent people have no where to go. Liberals/socialists/democrats at least know its best to keep those people busy with govt jobs.

The main goal of this bill ... as well as the gutting of government departments ... is to somehow justify the extension of tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations.

Too much spending added to deficit and cuts to Medicaid will hurt Missouri

I am hopeful the Senate will fine tune the Bill. I do feel with maintaining the tax cuts growth will help with the deficit. I agree with EM that if we do not address it then no one will have Security in the future.

Because Elon is always wrong according to MSM. So he is obviously wrong about this.

I think Musk is a con-man, a billionaire drug addicted con-man, but at least he's not in the parade of 'yes men' that follow Trump around. Musk disagreed publicly, gotta give the guy credit for that.

That strung-out drug addict is a walking, talking disaster. I’m afraid it will cost us billions of dollars and many, many years to straighten out his damage.

With his biases, he should not be using his position to meddle in gov on his own behalf. He's looking after no one but himself.

I totally disagree, he needs nothing and was only working to help the majority. The waste uncovered is excessive, no one can argue that.

He's an absolute nutcase. And an immigrant from South Africa, who grew up under apartheid, with no security clearance, has any business ransacking our government, accessing private data or having any influence of government departments investigating his businesses.

While I understand he had limited time, I feel more time would have benefited the country. That being said, I am grateful for the time he gave and the job he did. I look forward to seeing the results in the near future.

I hope he trained the people he left behind. He did an amazing job in only 130 days.

He has uncovered so much waste and corruption in the US Government. I only wish congress acted on what he found!

He was showing the truth about government waste. Only those who benefit from all the corruption are happy to see him go. What I'm sorry about is that he's become the hate toy and target of the opposition. He deserves better.

The Democrats, since Clinton have talked about doing what DOGE is not doing. Yes, Clinton and Obama did some EO, but always gave more lip service than action. Now we have action from Republicans' and still Democrat lip service.

Horrible what they are doing to people. I don't understand how firing people would take care of fraud and abuse. They are stripping people of their livelihoods and it will come back at us because the government will have to cover their unemployment stipends and we will have many more homeless ppl.

About 14.5% of the US workforce, or 20.2 million people, work in the public sector. This includes state, local, and federal government employees. That's way to many people working at a job that produces nothing.

Maybe you should turn of the news and research. Why pay 5 people to do the job of 1. Why keep lazy employees who don't produce when you can keep highly productive workers and increase there pay. See its called rewarding hard work and punishing lazy people. Hard work does pay off.

Elon is not an elected official, not even a cleared contractor for what he is doing. This sabotages democracy.

Elon is only exposing criminals. He is doing nothing else. Become informed, instead of brainwashed.

While often categorized as a democracy, the United States is more accurately defined as a constitutional federal republic.

Unilateral decisions from the Executive branch cannot go unchecked (on BOTH “sides”). Just like when Biden shouldn’t have bypassed the SC with student loan forgiveness. Democracy is fragile and we cannot lean towards dictatorship.
