The article discusses a clash between Fox News contributors Jessica Tarlov and Ben Domenech over Elon Musk's aggressive efforts to reduce the size of government agencies. Musk's significant cuts have garnered mixed reactions, with some Republicans supporting them as necessary for reducing waste, while many claims made by Musk about government spending have been criticized as misleading. Tarlov argued against Democratic assistance for a Republican-led resolution to prevent a government shutdown, asserting it's the responsibility of the Republicans to manage their agenda without outside help. Domenech, however, expressed enthusiasm towards the potential of a government shutdown enabling further cuts, highlighting a clear divide in opinions regarding public service and its value.
If the government shuts down, I'm out of things that you can do, where the traps just open up where they can just cut even further than they already have.
Democrats should not help Republicans and their narrow majority pass a continuing resolution to avert a government shutdown. It's on Republican members to pass their own bill.
