This is the same amount Trump vowed to increase military spending, to achieve the first-ever annual trillion-dollar Pentagon budget.

So if DOGE does cut $150b, it won't decrease spending.

As Steve Bannon said, you can't cut govt spending without heading to the Pentagon.

Musk: We anticipate savings in FY26 from reduction of waste and fraud by $150 billion.

Musk said he could save a trillion dollars a year if he were allowed to finish. No audit of Fort Knox, Federal Reserve and not mush at DOD.

Also we could easily get to more than a trillion dollars in savings if we audited all three of those agencies and cut out 700 overseas military bases. But Israel has to go out on its own.

The choice is either America survives and thrives or we go down with Israel.

I saw a story that the Pentagon now has a 6th generation fighter and the Russians and Chinese are blowing gaskets over it. ;)
