My God: they are selling off federal buildings and no longer planning on collecting revenues. Again, none of this is about efficiency. I know the IRS is not popular, but for every dollar invested it generates about $7 in returns. The goal is not to save money but to stop collecting it.

the details here are quite technical. there's finding money and there's finding money. but agreeing to spend USG money that is not appropriated is actually a statutory crime on the part of the individual who makes the obligation. So not Trump, but the appointee/employee who does it.

Elon Musk just called Social Security a Ponzi scheme, so it’s worth reiterating: All functional retirement schemes, public or private, pre funded or pay as you go, are claims on future production - there's just no way, at scale, of storing current production for use during retirement
