That's true, but you gotta start somewhere, and DOGE so far has exposed more problems than the last 30yrs of congressional committees have even begun to address. Do you have suggestions on ways to bring the Dems and Repubs along on the need to at least migrate towards fiscal responsibility, because for the last few decades since the Clinton/Repub congress period, it's been a steady spend more and more march from the fed govt on both sides.
