DOGE increasingly looks like a pr gambit that makes fiscally inconsequential cuts to prevent the public from realizing that Trump will massively increase the deficit, knowing the consequences won't hit America until a successor is forced to deal with the consequences

The GOP budget extends the 5 yr. tax holiday we’ve been enjoying, but because it doesn’t cut spending much, it increases the deficit by over $300 billion/yr. compared to letting tax cuts expire. Over 10 years, this budget will add $20 trillion to US debt.
