Seems kind of suspicious that the DOGE team is not addressing the root cause of the deficit being added to each year by requiring a balanced budget amendment, and in that respect, DOGE may very well distract the people from a real solution, which is to effectively prevent Congress from adding to the national debt year, after year, after year.
But hey, making a nation's population taxed slaves to pay interest on a national debt seems to be quite profitable these days, and to the tune of over $ 1 TRILLION annually.
