Ramaswamy wants to defund unauthorized government programs - like veteran healthcare
In 2024, the Veterans’ Health Care Eligibility Reform Act of 1996 accounted for nearly $120 billion in government funds despite its appropriations being authorized through 1998
Summary
Vivek Ramaswamy, recently appointed to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has proposed defunding federal programs that lack current congressional authorization.
This could affect programs like veterans’ healthcare, NASA, and early education initiatives, which still receive funding despite expired authorizations.
Ramaswamy argues that cutting these programs could save billions, and he’s committed to targeting expenditures that “don’t advance the interests of American citizens.”
DOGE, co-led by Elon Musk, aims to curb government spending, with Musk estimating potential cuts of up to $2 trillion.

This will piss off every single veteran, active service member, and their relatives. I don't just want this shit to fail, I want people to remember just how little fucks these people give about anyone other than themselves.
Republicans have been cutting vet benefits for years, and it hasn’t stopped them from voting red yet.
I want to see these fucks do this then ask for the military to keep them in office when they violate the constitution
I kinda have lost faith in most of humanity. At this point I think they will follow orders without question while fully knowing that they will be thrown aside like a moldy bag of garbage as soon as their usefulness is done.
If you hear back well they did not realize... you answer with yes, this is how little they care
