Do it. Cut tricare too. I don’t want those things gone, but holy hell yes please eliminate the willingness of the military to aid you against the constitution. Defund barrack improvements and force married troops to bring their spouses into the barracks while you’re at it.

Crash and burn and let us rebuild America with an understanding it wasn’t immigrants or trans people that did this, it was rich people and fascists.

As someone with just as much federal authority as the non-existent DOGE, I also propose defunding expenditures that “don’t advance the interests of American citizens.”

And I would like to start with fucking Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon fucking Musk.

As a US citizen, paying for veterans healthcare and early education programs advance my interests a whole fucking lot more than paying this jackass.

Stupid piece of shit, you don't speak for us.

Elon musk being like "all that money we're spending on vets could be going into my pockets."

This will piss off every single veteran, active service member, and their relatives. I don't just want this shit to fail, I want people to remember just how little fucks these people give about anyone other than themselves.

Any woman or veteran or union worker who voted for Trump is going to have a serious case of buyers remorse. I am none of those things but still voted for Harris because it seemed like the responsible thing to do, lesser of two evils. Way lesser it seems.

Remember when if you didn't "support our troops," Republicans would ask you why you hated America?

Touching NASA very well might be the thing that finally pushes me to actual violence.

Scientific endeavors, but specifically research and exploration of space are pretty much the only things in life I really have a passion for.

America: Our soldiers are heroes!

Also America: But they don't deserve a penny and should pay exorbitant prices for healthcare...

I know this isn't all Americans, but it's more than I thought.

This is amazing. Good. Fuck the troops. Let's see you garrison your military bases in every other country in the world, losers. You can't even meet recruiting goals now!

Save billions on essentials while spending trillions in bullshit.

“This bloated liberal socialist program is inefficient and doesn’t work. Because it’s liberal and socialist. So we’re going to get rid of it. We’re planing to plan a replacement plan, but we haven’t planned on when to plan it. But we’ll blame the libs for that too, even though we have essentially captured all branches of the government at this point.”

Part of me, as an outsider looking in with abject horror, wants to see this happen just because I still hold out hope that it might finally wake up a not-insignificant part of rural and rust-belt America that live off these benefits (or ‘handouts’ according to the GOP) out of their political stupor.

But on the other hand, I know that once it’s gone, it’s very unlikely to be brought back in the immediate future by the current crop of Dems, who seemingly would rather keep dangling it as a carrot (along with restoring ablation access) in order to entice voter turnout.

Okay I agree with the other comments here but I'm a bit confused on this.

How are we still spending money on these things if congress doesn't approve it? The legislature sets the budget, did they just forget to make it official and extend these? Also why even have a phase out period in the first place?

Then do universal healthcare, right? Right?

The clown is inviting more clowns and they are building up the circus, this could be funny if it wasn't so serious.

they just want Russia to be the top superpower

Shameless, veterans risk their lives for their country, the least the govt can do is give them healthcare

I expected NASA to get screwed by DOGE. What I didn't expect was that it's at the behest of Ramaswamy instead of Elmo. 2024 is defying expectations yet again.

How is veteran healthcare unauthorized?

We can't be taking care of Veterans that is way to decent of a thing to do for Republicans.

I'm a 100% disabled veteran. Two years ago I made the very stupid decision to change my gender identity with the VA, and my therapist just informed me on Friday that I can't change it back because it's part of a diagnosis. I'm really worried that either of those things, or the fact that I'm getting a degree through chapter 31 will end in a reduction or revocation of my benefits. In addition, I'm going through the process of getting diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder. I'm really expensive for the VA right now.

Fun fact: ALS is more common in the veteran population

Please, keep pissing off the military, sounds like a FAFO-prone strategy.
