According to BlockBeats, on December 5, the Associated Press reported that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will head to Capitol Hill today to discuss significant reform ideas with House and Senate Republicans aimed at "achieving regulatory rollbacks, administrative cuts, and cost savings." Previously, U.S. President-elect Trump announced on November 12 that Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy would jointly lead the "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE) after he takes office, paving the way to dismantle government bureaucracy, cut unnecessary regulations and wasteful spending, and reorganize federal agencies. All of this is part of Trump's "Save America" agenda for his second term in the White House. Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy wrote in a Wall Street Journal op-ed: "DOGE faces a historic opportunity for structural cuts in the federal government, and we are ready to respond to the onslaught." According to the U.S. Congressional Budget Office, the U.S. federal budget of $6 trillion frequently runs a deficit, with this year's deficit reaching a historic high of $1.8 trillion. This imbalance has persisted since the Clinton administration over two decades ago. Republicans generally blame the deficit on excessive government spending, while Democrats point to the tax cuts implemented by Republican Presidents Trump and George W. Bush as the main culprits. -Original
