As if "the public" knows literally anything about how the US federal government is administered.

If anything, they voted for reduced debt burden and they got the opposite. DOGE failed at pretty much every single one of the goals that the public arguably gave it a mandate for.

Ah, yes, democracy!, except for when the public is wrong.

Who decides when the public is wrong? We do! Who decides "what the public voted for"? We do! So we are the rulers? No, of course, not, this is democracy.

You want to become the decider of when the public is wrong and of what the public voted for? TYRANT! TYRANT!
