The goal of cost savings and efficiency in government is agreed upon by every single politician, with broad bipartisan support (except the actual criminals of course)
The issue is about the process to get there.
Option 1: Congress and federal agencies get together and agree to lists of common sense measures to reduce cost and trim budgets while maintaining military readiness and research/innovation goals. Eliminate waste.
Option 2: Cut stuff based on what seems to fit a political narrative but with no regard for waste or fraud through executive action, wait for lawsuits, complain about judges, have your actions overturned, keep spinning wheels but going nowhere.
Which one do you think has any chance of success?
