There is so much potential to downsize government, but if we allow our colleagues in conservative media to lie to the public, we will not stick the landing.

There is a role for the DOGE, but we need to be honest about what it is going to take to actually bring down inflation. We go program by program and strategy by strategy to cut through the optical illusions and false choices.
