And that’s not even counting corollary effects like reciprocal tariffs or straining international relationships (which, surprise surprise, we’ve already seen both of and we haven’t even really started yet lol)
In line with this (annoyingly) a ton of Doges supposed savings were exactly this same type of money. They claimed savings by cancelling payments for things already provided or delivered.
