SEN. Elizabeth Warren: Trump, Musk and I agree on something important. And I have 30 ways to do that

Here’s something President Donald TrumpElon Musk and I agree: The federal government throws trillion dollars on wasteful consumption. I spent years trying to get the Government’s waste from our budget and I am ready to work with a male to make the government more effective and save taxpayers’ money. But there is a matter: we have to focus on the right place. Instead of reducing assistance to people who rely on Medicare, social insurance and va, we focus on the corporate of billionaire and billionaire that are expressed by the US taxpayer.

After promising that his department for the effectiveness of the Government (Doge) will reduce two trillion dollars in the Government waste, Male ambition decreases quickly. Within weeks, He felt Its goal in half to $ 1 trillion – all before it actually reduced one dollar. I don’t want Musk to bend so fast. I took off the numbers and found two trillion dollars that we could reduce in the next 10 years, focusing on the guys enriched from our government. Last week I sent musk my draft to do just that.

Initial plans of congress Republicans Call for cuts Government programs that millions of Americans rely on to pay their bills every month – things like social security, money to cover the cost of an elderly home and help buy private health insurance. The abolition of basic services is not effective; It’s cold cruelty. Throwing old people from Nursing homes Or tell people that their insurance has been canceled, they will not save money; It just makes life strive for families who struggle to pick up a weakened. If Musk and Republicans go that route, it will be a disaster for working people and I will reciprocate.

But we don’t have to cut programs that Americans rely on. In the next decade, we can remove at least $ 2 trillion dollars with government waste without cutting programs that help our grandparents, our veterans and our children. In fact, I have 30 concrete proposals to do just that. I’ll share a few of them now but you can read all about them My letter to the male here.

Here are some examples of government waste that we can start with. First, we could negotiate better contracts for the Ministry of Defense. 2021., Dod spent $ 440.7 billion on contracts – and giant performers overwhelm us for almost everything. Air force pay 7.500% more on soap spray than regular Americans. The military pays 71 USD for needles that should cost less than nickel. Consumption is so out of control in DOD that this is the only agency in a government that cannot Pass a simple audit. US taxpayers are sick of the fraud overpaid military performers. My recommendations on the spending of defense would only Save almost $ 200 billion in the next 12 years.

Taxpayers also prevail non -profit health insurance companies. Right now, o Half of all seniors They were lured in the privatized Medicare program called Medicare Advantage. This program began to reduce the costs for the elderly, but over time, insurers came up with how to increase their profit by manipulating claims and denied coverage. It’s so bad that it is non -partisan Assessment of the Advisory Commission for Payment of Medicare that the privatized insurers of Medicare flooded taxpayers by overwhelmed taxpayers Only $ 83 billion only at the age of 2024, while other independent researchers amounted to $ 140 billion. Boarding their dirty tactics could save more than a trillion of dollars over ten years without a decrease in Medicara’s benefits for one penny.

Assessment of health care is not a partisan issue. I got together with Republican Josh Hawley of Missouri Return billions more than corporations that cheat the Government on health care costs. He is not the only Republican who agrees that we have to prevent corporations from excessively charging taxpayers for rescue drugs: President Trump expressed President Trump expressed supportFor another of my proposals to reduce wasteful consumption, negotiations on the price of Medicare. Expancing this program to lower the prices for the most expensive drugs covered by Medicare, the government could save taxpayers could save taxpayers of another $ 200 billion in the next decade.

We can reduce the deficit by reducing consumption, but we can also improve our financial position by paying their honest share of millions and billionaires. Hedge funds and companies with private capital use holes for Use holes to avoid Paying anywhere between $ 1.4 billion and $ 18 billion every year – it’s easy to fix. Closing only one hole to release from taxes The government could save Another $ 60 billion a year. We should close these holes – and to fund the IRS completely to catch rich tax cheats that think they are above the law.

My list of cuts and hole fasteners will save $ 2 trillion. So where are Elon Musk, Donald Trump and Doge project? Why give up so quickly to beat up Defense contractorsGiants Health Insurance and other huge companies chased by the US people? If Musk and Trump have the courage to reduce this waste, I have a plan and 30 specific recommendations to do so.
