The United States is declining quite rapidly. Healthcare, education, infrastructure, mass shootings, consumer protections, the cost of food, cars, power and such. It’s quite terrifying.

Elon backtracked on DOGE savings goals from $1 trillion to $150 billion.

But watchdogs report only $12.6 billion in verifiable savings.

That represents just 0.173% of the U.S. federal budget for 2025.

We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.
