Elon Musk’s newly established Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E) aims to cut $2 trillion from federal spending, a proposal that has sparked heated debate among economists and policymakers. Critics argue that such deep cuts are impractical, given that 75% of the federal budget is tied to mandatory programs like Social Security, Medicare, and interest on the national debt.
To achieve these cuts, D.O.G.E may target discretionary spending, which funds essential services like defense, education, and transportation. Aggressive measures, including layoffs and agency closures, could result in widespread disruption, risking a government shutdown akin to the 2018-2019 stalemate that cost the economy $11 billion. Analysts also warn that these actions could trigger a "deflationary shock," reduce consumer spending, and exacerbate market instability.
Despite Musk’s reputation for bold innovation, skeptics question whether his approach to federal spending reform can deliver meaningful results without severe economic repercussions. As markets react to his influence, concerns grow that the plan could deepen the national debt and destabilize the fragile economic recovery.
