Major Federal Budget Cuts – do the math

When you hear of these massive wastes that DOGE is finding, it’s important to boil it down to the individual level.

For example, the Biden EPA tossed $20 billion of “gold bars off the Titanic”, according to Lee Zeldin. What does 20 billion wasted dollars mean?

Type into a calculator:

20,000,000,000 / 330,000,000 (people)

That’s $60.61 per person. How many people in your household? Let’s say four, just to pick a common amount.

That’s $242.42 that was stolen from that household, if not in tangible cash then in value from their cash reserves.

Now it hits home a little better. That’s how much that one criminal action took.

This isn’t pretend money. It’s my money and yours. They have robbed us of REAL wealth.
