Summary

The White House’s proposed $9 billion DOGE spending cuts face opposition in Congress, with fiscal conservatives like Sen. Rand Paul calling the amount too small.

GOP lawmakers hoped to use DOGE savings to offset Trump-era tax cuts, but budget rules block applying discretionary cuts.

With legislative options limited, the White House may challenge the Impoundment Control Act to assert executive power to freeze congressional funds.

Officials maintain “all options are on the table,” signaling a potential legal battle over presidential budget authority.

    It’s a GOOD THING we Cut my Child’s Education, my Child’s Healthcare, my Veteran Father’s Healthcare, my Social Security, and Safety Regulators for Planes, Water and the Air! OTHERWISE we wouldn’t have made a Big Enough Dent in our TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN DEBT to Afford Trump’s Military Parade and Elon Musks Government Contracts!
