DOGE Dilemma: Republicans, Musk, and Federal Waste
TL;DR Summary
Senior House Republicans are concerned about the feasibility of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's plan to cut $2 trillion in federal spending, as it may require touching mandatory spending programs like Social Security, which are politically sensitive. The GOP is grappling with how to implement these cuts without affecting defense spending or popular programs, while also considering Trump's potential unilateral spending decisions. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative is facing skepticism and legal challenges, with lawmakers emphasizing the need for collaboration with Congress.
