Writes UNN with reference to the Independent.
Vivek Ramaswamy, who was tapped to head the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, has advocated cutting funding for unauthorized federal programs. In particular, they mean: money for veterans’ health care, NASA and preschool education.
The new office, dubbed DOGE after co-CEO Elon Musk’s favorite meme, will operate “outside of government” and will aim to “reduce wasteful spending and restructure federal agencies.” Within two days of his nomination, Ramasawamy proposed significant cuts to federal funding, starting with a list of appropriations authorizations that had already expired.
This is complete madness. We can and should save hundreds of billions each year by cutting back on government programs that Congress no longer authorizes. We will challenge any politician who disagrees to defend the other side

Social media users were quick to point out some programs that received funding despite the lack of current congressional authorization. One is the Veterans Health Entitlement Reform Act of 1996, which helps ensure funding for veterans’ health care. The law expired in 1998, but it still receives about $120 billion in funding.
We will remind
UNN reported that Trump plans to create a Department of Government Efficiency under the leadership of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. The new structure will optimize the work of federal agencies and reduce bureaucracy by 2026.
