How did the agency that collects taxes and prints money be so important? Maybe trumpers should have studied more

Trump is not screwing around with cutting the Federal budget. It needs to be done but up until now it was career politicians that were in charge and partisan bureaucrats running things. Trump is changing this. He is trying to cut the federal payroll and to put a stop to useless programs, corruption and waste.
He and the DOGE dept. will uncover trillions of dollars in waste and cut it from the budget. Americans voted for this and want it to happen.

[Asker]

Is this why judges keep having to step in when he makes what he thinks is a simple change but has had disastrous results. This time almost cutting most of his voters monthly incomes? These aren't people who are illegal or criminals -unlike the prez himself- they are veterans, elderly, disabled American voters. They didn't vote for him to stop their income.

The judges are all either Obama or Biden appointees. They are in on the scam. Trillions of dollars have gone out the door with little or no accountability. Dead people keep getting checks, discontinued programs continue getting funded and 35 million dollars almost was spent on an organization that America is not even a member of. Some of this is by incompetence but I am sure that there is a lot of embezzling that has gone on as well. These hack judges just delay the inevitable.
Trump will show them how we do things downtown.

They are judges doing their jobs. Protecting people's income... good lord.

[exitseven]

Yes, protecting useless bureaucrat's incomes at the taxpayers expense. Having a government job is not a guaranteed lifetime appointment. Why should taxpayers have to pay for people that do not produce anything of value?

[Asker]

At the expense of the countries elderly and disabled veterans? Common sense. Bomb fuse is lit.

[exitseven]

The veterans and elderly have been ignored for a long time. The citizens among us will be taken care of, Illegal aliens, not so much. This is what Trump is trying to accomplish. The US Government is like a speeding train, you can slam on the brakes but it does not stop for a while.

[Asker]

So you are missing facts

[exitseven]

facts like what? The starving children?

[DrPepper12]

You mean POTUS Musk right?
