Musk's controversial proposal that would save billions picks up steam

Daily Mail  

One of the most controversial proposals from Elon Musk 's Department of Government Efficiency is gaining support as he and lawmakers look to cut costs. As it stands, that debt totals $36.2 trillion dollars, but Musk estimates that DOGE could cut 'at least $2 trillion' from the current White House 's $6.5 trillion budget in the near term. South Carolina Republican Rep. Ralph Norman told DailyMail.com DOGE 'absolutely' should target foreign aid, though he admitted slashing funding to Israel is off the table. Rep. Rich McCormick, R-Ga., a physician, suggested that DOGE look into cutting Medicare and Medicaid fraud, which he says would cut hundreds of billions of dollars in government spending over the next 10 years. Medicaid fraud $413 billion in the next 10 years,' he said, arguing that reforms in this sector would make far more meaningful spending cuts than suspending foreign aid payments.
