Dean - I think your fear will play itself out when the budget gets hashed out over the next 3-4 weeks. They either have to come up with a new budget by I believe March 14th, or pass another Continuing Resolution (CR) to keep the government funded, in effect continuing the "Joe Biden" spending programs.

If they do a new budget, I doubt they'll have the guts to make the type of cuts envisioned by DOGE. There is only so much that can be trimmed by executive order. Ultimately congress will need to pass spending legislation, which is where the problem may continue.

Good point, that could definitely serve as a lifeboat for Trump, Musk and Republicans to abandon the DOGE ship, claim victory and go back to business as usual without any corruption blowback hitting their side or pet projects.

Yes, no one wants to be voted out of office for saving their constituents money
