I am sure this well help with market stability.   On the plus side, now every business book can be updated to include the US as defaulting on bonds and no longer being the standard.

Of course he does.

Long on record with substantial cutting of government spending. My preference would be to start with the military. But I think that I have also proposed in the past just a straight up short haircut across the board initially, and then recalibrating from there. 

DOGE isn't the ideal vehicle, not close. But we never have an ideal vehicle given the two party structure and the nature of how this politics game is played. So we roll with what we got.

Do you think it will actually cut spending? Or will funds just be diverted to other areas that whatever party of choosing wants them diverted to?

Diverted to Musk, because he knows what's best. The X bank will start handling all government payouts soon.

That’s the whole game. DOGE’s objective is “government efficiency” in as much as that country with Pyongyang as its capital is a “Democratic People’s Republic.” One would be a fool to believe it literally. Reminds me of when republicans were saying in 2003 or so that No Child Left Behind was about “making teachers accountable.”

Government waste is doubtlessly a problem, but it’s not a problem that’s solved by/with billionaire money hoarders.

Also governments aren't run like regular businesses.

I'm going to do some spring cleaning around the house. I'm going to start by getting rid of every major appliance, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, AC unit, etc. Then I'm going to tear down the walls and leave it that way. You know, just get rid of stuff I don't need.

Ana is pro-arson and has been pretty clear about that for a long time.
