  • The overriding questions of President Donald Trump's second term are how dramatically he wants to cut government, and how far he'll be able to go before the courts or Congress stops him.

The article from CNN, published on March 6, 2025, discusses a new government initiative aimed at reducing federal spending. Dubbed the "DOGE" plan (Deficit Optimization and Government Efficiency), it proposes significant cuts across various departments. Key points include a 10% reduction in defense spending, the elimination of several federal programs deemed redundant, and a restructuring of entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare to make them more sustainable. The plan has sparked a heated debate, with supporters arguing it's necessary to address the ballooning national debt, while critics claim it will disproportionately affect the middle and lower classes. The White House has promised to protect essential services, but details on how this will be achieved remain sparse, leading to widespread speculation and analysis on the potential impacts of these cuts.
