This is all To pay for a tax cut for very wealthy people
Elon Musk's plan to cut the Social Security Administration's staff by 50% would cause 37,000 more Americans to die each year waiting to receive their disability benefits while the average wait time to collect these benefits would jump to 412 days.
That is beyond unacceptable.

1. Trump is pushing forward with his plans to create a "Crypto Strategic Reserve."
No one has bothered to explain why diverting government resources into crypto has ANY STRATEGIC BENEFIT FOR THE UNITED STATES.
The only benefit is for people who are current investors in crypto.
It's a grift.
