In FY2023, the U.S. Government spent $6.16. trillion while only bringing in $4.47 trillion.
The last budget surplus was in 2001.
This trend must be reversed, and we must balance the budget.

We are very grateful to the thousands of Americans who have expressed interest in helping us at DOGE. We don’t need more part-time idea generators. We need super high-IQ small-government revolutionaries willing to work 80+ hours per week on unglamorous cost-cutting. If that’s you, DM this account with your CV. Elon & Vivek will review the top 1% of applicants.
