View submission: Elon Musk can’t balance the budget
LOL, I’m asking for your critical thinking skills. The article does nothing to dispel the myth of bloat and you are blindly quoting it. What it says is that there is a budget for 2025 and there is a slot for all the money. Everything has its place. It does nothing to answer the question of bloat. It says nothing about whether the amounts apportioned to these government agencies is the right about. It only restates what it is, not what it could or should be.
Please don’t rely Vox as your source.

I assume you actually want a discussion despite putting 0 effort into researching which might be a mistake.
This article https://democracyjournal.org/arguments/bloated-government-the-problem-is-the-opposite/
Basically says all agencies are underfunded and understaffed, how can there be bloat? then goes on to list a bunch of agencies who can’t do their job because they are underfunded and understaffed.
You may say sure, they can probably make their processes better, maybe, but that’s not bloat and an outside agency is incapable of optimising every process of every agency.
Do note there’s already an “anti-bloat” agency which already saved billions.

Welp I can't help you there. I posted an article for discussion. If you are unable to find any sources to make your point that there is bloat it's not up to me to provide them for you. Most people start with a search engine. Try there.
