DOGE Proposes Drastic Cuts to Federal Spending: A 'Slash and Burn' Approach
NBC News

In a bid to overhaul the federal budget, a drastic 'slash and burn' approach has been proposed, aiming to significantly reduce spending. This method, reminiscent of former Clinton administration adviser Elaine Kamarck's efforts, seeks to cut hundreds of thousands of jobs and eliminate billions of dollars in expenses. With the goal of streamlining government operations and reducing waste, this approach could potentially save billions, a move that echoes the 1990s-era cuts that eliminated 426,000 jobs and $136 billion in spending. Fiscal reform and budget reduction are at the forefront of this proposal, which could have significant implications for government efficiency and cost savings. Key areas of focus include government spending and budget cuts.
