"Musk's Slashing of the Federal Budget Faces Big Hurdles"

New York Times

Robert Kovacev discussed Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's plan to cut $2 trillion from the federal budget through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which faces significant challenges. Despite early support, the effort will likely encounter legal and political obstacles. Kovacev notes that DOGE's focus on eliminating regulations could face delays due to the lengthy process of rescinding rules, which involves public comment and legal hurdles. He also points out that "the process of rescission — formally removing a rule from the books — can take years."
