I personally support trimming bureaucratic fat, but the way the current administration is doing it is the worst way possible - with no due diligence - and will lose public support soon.

I really wish I could still believe that last part.
Yeah unlikely. I don’t even care that Elon isn’t just being altruistic and is in on all this just to benefit himself. My support of what they’re doing thus far is pretty steadfast, and I just want to see more and more people fired, and more and more budget cut.
I don’t care what happens to Ukraine, just don’t want us to send another dime. Hoping it can just end soon, which is more likely now than it was with previous administration.
Tariffs are a terrible idea though, but would take them if we got rid of the income tax.
As of now DOGE and Trump are doing exactly what I hoped, and I’ll check back in a year and see if I’m worried.

$4,700,000,000,000 income taxes
$...100,000,000,000 tariffs

Sooner than you think.
My tax refund is quite late.
No kidding. Been waiting 15 days for what should be a routine return.
I told my family that if they expect a refund and haven't already filed their taxes to do so ASAP.
I have to wait until March to get all my documents from brokerages, so I guess I am personally screwed by DOGE if returns are delayed.
