Nah, because then they have to explain why they so easily recycled those lies -- looking at you Project 2025
Is some reporter eventually gonna ask him about the fact that his entire campaign, literally every word of it, was little more than looking the country in the eye and lying to it.

Pretty much the same amount Republicans promise to “save” in this budget is what the IRS could have collected from tax cheats and wealthy/sophisticated filers WITHOUT RAISING A SINGLE TAX.
But instead somebody somewhere will lose out on healthcare. Stupid and cruel.

When I was with GSA, every couple of months I’d listen to people calling 844-USA-GOV1, the federal government’s help line. (“This call may be monitored” by me, it turns out.) And my estimate is that 40% of the calls were from people *being scammed*—whether or not they’d realized it yet—seeking help.
Here is a very tangible example of how fake fraud claims are restricting access.
Musk and JD Vance keep saying that 40% of SSA phone calls are effort to engage in fraud. Its not true!
But now, clients cannot do ID verification processes via phone, overloading field offices & excluding many.
