DOGE's Fuzzy Math
Briefly

Elon Musk's attempts to address America's burgeoning national debt, currently pegged at $36 trillion, might not succeed. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene expresses that the national debt represents a betrayal of the American people, correlating public frustration with the creation of cryptocurrencies like DOGE. Despite calls for action, major political parties have deprioritized debt reduction. Alternative strategies for deficit reduction, such as cutting military expenditures or raising taxes, remain unpopular, leading Musk's actions to focus on weakening government agencies without significant financial impact.
Musk's current efforts against federal debt, while ambitious, are unlikely to significantly impact the $36 trillion deficit plaguing the country today.
While some believe Musk's proposed actions will address the national debt, history shows that cutting programs like Medicare and Social Security are more effective.
