I don’t know what you’re asking. DOGE isn’t spending money. The most they have done is allow money to keep getting spent while the employees take a long vacation— i.e., the fork in the road. The rest is them summarily firing people (illegally…), but that doesn’t spend money. Unless you count the lawsuits to follow. Agencies aren’t forced to spend the money in the budget.
Musk is working under presidential executive authority. Basically they are purposefully fucking up the execution.
But hasn’t Congress already allocated money for the programs they are dismantling? I know doge isn’t spending money but don’t get how they can immediately shut down funding that’s already been approved
