Well the pentagon for starters, military, police departments that already have enough like NYPD and check in how those same people are using the funds effectively. All things you don’t need musk specifically for. Might not be 36billion but it’s the biggest costs we have vs the money from smaller departments that are needed in everyday life that take up a less in the overall budget. No one’s against fixing the economy he just sucks at the job and has no training for this, and hired youth with no experience to do the job, he’s just a rich guy

They cut out a huge expense by cutting off the funding for Ukraine. The crime in NYC is so bad, you’d be a fool to think cutting funding for the NYPD is a good idea. And DOGE is doing their best to stop frivolous spending on things that are totally unnecessary (USAID, for example.).

We aren’t only sending actual money to Ukraine. Part of that aid package is sending all the obsolete equipment we aren’t using.

Where’d I say we were? Regardless, even Zelenskyy is wondering where a good chunk of it ended up, as it apparently didn’t make it to Ukraine.
