Ramaswamy wants to defund unauthorized government programs - like veteran healthcare
In 2024, the Veterans’ Health Care Eligibility Reform Act of 1996 accounted for nearly $120 million in government funds despite its appropriations being authorized through 1998
Summary
Vivek Ramaswamy, recently appointed to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has proposed defunding federal programs that lack current congressional authorization.
This could affect programs like veterans’ healthcare, NASA, and early education initiatives, which still receive funding despite expired authorizations.
Ramaswamy argues that cutting these programs could save billions, and he’s committed to targeting expenditures that “don’t advance the interests of American citizens.”
DOGE, co-led by Elon Musk, aims to curb government spending, with Musk estimating potential cuts of up to $2 trillion.

Any woman or veteran or union worker who voted for Trump is going to have a serious case of buyers remorse. I am none of those things but still voted for Harris because it seemed like the responsible thing to do, lesser of two evils. Way lesser it seems.
The leopards are eating our faces!!
Buyers remorse or will they blame someone else?
They'll blame democrats like always
Well, the democrats didn't do enough to differentiate themselves from Trump. This is the result 🥄 /s
To be fair that's at least partially true. Democrats moved hard to the right this election.
Democrats cannot fail; they can only be failed
