  Republicans vowed Wednesday to tackle the "stunning" US national debt, as lawmakers began work on President Donald Trump's plan for the most radical downsizing of the federal government in decades. Democrats have upbraided Republicans for making strident pledges to save money while proposing a budget that would raise the national debt limit by $4 trillion.

The article from MSN discusses a concerted effort by U.S. lawmakers, spearheaded by former President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, to significantly reform the U.S. government's structure. This initiative, known as "Project 2025," aims to reduce the size and influence of federal agencies, particularly those involved in environmental regulations, education, and social welfare. Trump, alongside Musk, who has been vocal about his disdain for what he perceives as government overreach, are pushing for a drastic overhaul to limit bureaucratic power, promote deregulation, and shift more control to the private sector. Key figures like Senator Ted Cruz and Representative Jim Jordan are involved, advocating for changes that would align with conservative ideologies, including cutting back on what they view as unnecessary government spending and regulations. This project has sparked considerable debate, with critics arguing it could undermine essential protections and services, while supporters believe it will streamline government operations and foster economic growth.
