Summary
A new Economist/YouGov poll shows Americans favor many government programs over Elon Musk and his DOGE, which is working to slash federal spending.
The CFPB (50% approval), EPA (61%), and USAID (46%) were all viewed more positively than DOGE (42%).
Even the IRS’s free tax-filing program received strong support (63%). Musk himself had a 42% favorable and 52% unfavorable rating.
The findings show that government programs remain widely valued by the public.
Germany was a relatively weak country, recently ravaged by war only 20 years earlier. We are not. Which I’m not counting as a good thing these days
Don’t worry. Donnie’s going to speed run it.
