Description

Despite Elon Musks promises, federal spending surged by nearly 6% in 2025, reaching $7.558 trillion. DOGEs layoffs led to a record peacetime workforce drop of over 270,000 jobs. While USAID and Social Security offices saw cuts, overall spending increased due to mandatory spending on Social Security. DOGEs work continues through social media updates as focus shifts back to everyday government operations.
