   Here is what is so scary about DOGE... it circumvents the senates power to set a budget which the senate and the president need to approve together. Now the president did an end run around them and is dictating, effectively, a budget with no senate oversight.

     @freemo from what i gathered (might be wrong of course), many of the things now cancelled were created by previous presidents by executive order (like USAID), so they now are cancelled by executive order.

     @freemo A fair point - but when was the last time Congress actually set a budget? (Was it under Clinton?) It's been nothing but CRs for many decades.
