Those companies can't produce money to "pay off debts", increasing the defecit. So I'd say there's a fighting chance there.

I'm no economist nor businessman though, so I won't pretend I can answer that with confidence.

Just don’t see why I should take it on faith that the US department whatever has 10X the “waste” of a big multi-national bank. Or that DOGE can improve anything.

DOGE will improve everything... For billionaires. The working class is screwed.

But hey, they might lobby to finally get rid of penny production. So that's a micro-win.

I definitely wouldn't claim that the government is on a scale of 10x the waste of corporate. But the structure of government budgeting does make it easier to create more efficiency
