You are not paying attention.  The just passed big ugly bill cuts
a half-trillion dollars from  medicare.  Not to mention the gutting
of medicaid, which will cause many rural hospitals to close outright.

Not gonna happen, just wishful thinking on your part.  Three million
people a year are joining Medicare (the last of the baby boomers), 65
million or so at the moment, and one million a year are leaving.  That
is a huge voting block.  And seniors vote in the USA.

No, the people of the USA voted the thieves out.  And for sanity.

 Well, they made a /big/ mistake. Sanity is definitely lacking.
 Or has DOGE actually referred /anyone/ for investigation of fraud?
 Has DOGE even discovered any actual fraud?
 So far, DOGE is just another Nothingburger.

DOGE has actually increased government expenditures with all the lawsuits, re-hirings, etc. that their actions caused.  And if you look at the pattern of what they _actually_ did it appears that the whole thing was intended to get Musk's AI access to confidential government records.
