Summary
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, leading Trump’s “Department of Government Efficiency,” are pushing for $2 trillion in federal budget cuts, which could target Social Security and Medicare.
While they claim to streamline government, critics argue billionaires like Musk and Ramaswamy are unaffected by these cuts, which could harm ordinary Americans who depend on these programs.
Despite Trump’s repeated promises to protect Social Security, skepticism remains over whether these cuts will influence Congress, where voter opposition to reducing benefits is strong.
Critics call the department’s influence limited but politically concerning.
As a disabled person who voted for Harris, I’d just like to say fuck every goddamn removed and some who voted for the Orange Idiot and I’m glad you’re all about to have your faces chewed off by the leopards. I can’t wait until you all start cannibalizing each other’s stuff in other to pay for healthcare and nursing homes, you shit chugging bug fuckers.
