Trump and Musk have fun in DC while cuts pile up out in the country

^{Published on 2025-02-22 10:20:38 - CNN}

President Donald Trump and Elon Musk look like they're having a blast in Washington, clear-cutting elements of the federal government and seizing power from states and Congress. Their glee is at odds with the growing evidence of repercussions and anger out in the country at their approach of cutting first and asking questions later.

The article from CNN discusses the potential implications of a government shutdown, focusing on the political maneuvers and public reactions. It highlights how former President Donald Trump and Elon Musk have been vocal about their views on government spending and efficiency. Trump has criticized what he perceives as wasteful government expenditure, while Musk has suggested that the government could learn from private sector efficiencies, even humorously proposing that the government adopt Dogecoin as a currency to streamline operations. The piece also touches on the broader context of budget negotiations, the looming deadline for funding, and the possible effects on federal employees and public services if a shutdown occurs. Additionally, it notes the bipartisan concerns over the increasing national debt and the ongoing debate about where and how to cut spending.
