1. They should have a clearly written objective. Just "cutting spending" is empty rhetoric

I don’t believe they care about government efficiency anyway. They are on a vendetta and everybody knows it.

3. It's only "efficient" in their eyes if govt money is directed away from the people and over to Big Money. . . . nt

4. Yes, like they could "efficiently" kill off all the old people

To Elon and his ilk women over childbearing age are worthless anyway.

2. Musks hair plugs show starkly in the photo. What's w Rama's hair? Is he plugged too? Widows peaks and odd standup. . nt

5. How ruthless are most billionaires?

They did not get this rich by being nice.

6. They will be only as successful as we the people allow them to be.

7. Lenny and Squiggy have no authority!!!

They can advise to cut anything their brain farts tell them to cut, but it's going to take votes in the house and senate to make it happen

8. Yes...and now until April '25 when 2 or 3 of the first special elections happen, their majority is two

Even when all SE are done their margin will be 5….not looking so hot with a fractured caucus
