I would probably be fine with paying taxes if a) the government worked on and adhered to a balanced budget and b) that there was sufficient transparency and accountability to show the funds were used properly for the American people. DOGE has undeniable proof of waste and apparently outright graft. And, what happens? There are protests and calls for shutting DOGE down. Sooner or later an administration was going to have to deal with the debt and waste. Frankly, I can’t think of anyone better than Trump and Musk to do it. Yes it’s going to be painful but it’s because of allowing years of unbridled spending to occur that we’re at this place. It’s absolutely not the fault of the current administration.
