Imagine how massive the tax breaks for billionaires must be when cutting $700B from Medicaid, $500B from Medicare, and $300B in food assistance STILL leaves a $4T deficit.

for reference if you fired every single civilian federal employee you would save about $300b in salary and benefits
So look at that. DOGE has cost the US Treasury fucking half a trillion dollars. HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS. This is your cost savings.
To review what we from @washingtonpost.com are reporting out of the IRS today:
- Projected tax revenue this year is down 10% ($500 billion) as Trump's downsizing is emboldening tax cheats
- IRS is nearing an agreement with ICE to assist on mass deportations

Trump couldn’t buy the opening of the Strait of Hormuz for $25B, so now he’s offering $300B in reparations. Art of the deal.
U.S.–Iran draft deal includes a $300 billion investment fund for Iran. Tehran wanted reparations for war damage. Washington rebranded it as an international investment vehicle. Witkoff and Kushner floated the idea, pitching Tehran real estate and a broader fund as deal sweeteners.-NYT

DOGE was supposed to save $2T, saved $160B, cost $135B in buyouts, and nuked $323B in tax revenue. So basically, we paid $300B for all that chaos.

FYI: JUST the act of lifting sanctions nets Iran about $5B PER MONTH. That's in addition to the $24B in unfrozen assets, and the $300B that will probably be managed by Kushner's hedge fund for a fee.
By the way nobody is arguing that the Iranian military isn’t diminished . It is (but now they have the cash to rebuild)
A military exists to achieve an outcome. And the Iranian military achieved theirs. The regime is in place, we’ve promised to leave the region, we’re lifting sanctions, etc

Mamdani has proposed a balanced budget for next year, holding spending level while closing a $12 billion deficit.
Trump's budget proposal increases the deficit year over year by about $300b, with a massive deficit next year of more than $2 trillion.
Fiscal responsibility? Mamdani > Trump.

Russia failed to conquer Ukraine. So Trump is handing Putin what he couldn’t win on the battlefield. Territory. Limits on Ukraine’s military. And $300B in assets. Shameful. Dangerous. Unacceptable.
