Trump didn't run on this, sure. But he could have. He still would've won. Does it matter what Trump actually ran on? I don't think so. No adult takes him at his word. The lies were all baked in. People wanted policy nihilism. The details were never important.

The IRS was a simple test for DOGE: was it really interested in efficiency and state capacity? If so, you support the tax enforcement, the biggest ROI in govt. Or did it want to minimize parts of the state that bothered billionaires? We have our answer. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

The thought of Elon Musk gleefully dismantling the organization that makes it possible for impoverished people to have access to clean water, for children to participate in literacy programs, for famine-vulnerable populations to have access to life-saving food, etc. - it's a moral obscenity.

NYT published a list of programs identified by OMB for examination under the now-rescinded executive order. It included things like the child tax credit, the mortgage interest deduction, and many others. Those morons thought they could repeal the tax code through executive order. shorturl.at/pfXJ5
