YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

President-elect Donald Trump has tapped tech billionaires Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to chair the so-called "Department of Government Efficiency." In his new role, rife with ethical concerns, Musk has pledged to slash $2 trillion in federal spending, a move experts warn could decimate essential government services and disproportionately harm working and middle-class Americans. Critics say the new initiative effectively hands the levers of power to two billionaires with no experience in government service. How we arrived at this crisis can be traced to decades of Supreme Court rulings that obliterated the walls between money and politics.
