Elon Musk's DOGE came on the scene... and thing changed quickly.
Earlier today the Treasury published its revenue and spending report for the month of March, the first month when DOGE was fully operational, and the results were interesting. As shown in the chart below, in March total US government receipts were $368 billion, while spending totaled $528 billion.
The difference between how much money the US brought in vs how much it spent, means that in March the US budget deficit was $161 billion. Which sounds like a lot (it is) until you realize that in February the deficit was almost twice as much, or $307 billion. And compared to the $236 billion deficit a year ago, 2025 was a solid 32% lower.

“Elon Musk Instead of buying an island or a yacht, he wants to keep putting his chips on the table. He decides he wants to send a rocket to Mars. His friends were like, ‘What are you talking about?’ And Elon says, ‘If we don’t become a spacefaring civilization, human consciousness may die out.’”

"The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable." -- H.L. Mencken
