Will
@DOGE be able to fix this?
"Ultimately, it takes Congress. Congress has to get rid of the spending. DOGE can point out the spending problems and waste. But the reason it's not eliminated is I don't have the votes to get rid of the spending. So, I am very hopeful that DOGE will draw attention to this."
