The Republican administration is making large-scale changes to “cut the fat” in our government. However, the biggest areas of “fat” are being ignored. Instead of cutting funding for the departments that receive the largest funding - and the ones where Elon Musk has contracts - they are cutting those that have less than a 1% impact on government spending.

Listen-in to hear the ways Trump, Musk, and the Republican administration are falsely labeling departments and programs that do not personally benefit them as “fat”.
