In addition, government research in the sciences is miniscule. You could cut ALL of science funding and be no where close to the 1 trillion that Musk claims he'll be able to reduce the budget by
The goal's more about cutting all the science funding than reducing spending. These are people who bitch about Ukraine when they don't even plan on spending that money on something else they're just guzzling Russian propaganda.
Regardless, he'll claim he cut 500 bajillion dollars no matter what he ends up doing
My bet is that if he expects to cut 2 trillion, he will end up increasing the budget by 4 trillion.
No no, you don't understand. This is what people have actually been asking for this whole time. Nobody wanted the budget randomly cut, they wanted it distributed
He actually claimed 2 trillion.
I knew Elongated Muskrat was a dumbass but I didn't know he also can't do math.
I don't think he even attempted to do math. Someone asked him about it and said what the current budget was, and he just rectally sourced 2 trillion. I assume he said that because it's big enough to sound huge, but less than half of spending so people don't panic that everything will be cut.
It's meaningless bullshit until he actually says specifically what will be cut. Republicans have been claiming they can cut huge chunks of spending for years, but it never materializes. They only know how cut government income without paying for it.
Still waiting for that ACA replacement promised on week 1 of trump's presidency. It was supposed to be so easy. Now we're 8 years out and they have "concepts of a plan".
I'm sure with control over all government branches again they'll have the ACA completely replaced in no time. For real this time.
