Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) revealed that Democrats would “restore most of the cuts” that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had made.
While taking part in a discussion at the Center for American Progress, Schumer received a question about what he “can do about bringing” the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) back, after DOGE came in and made cuts.
“If you look at the budget actually, we’re working on right now — and we’ll have the T-HUD budget, you know, transportation and HUD budget, we restore most of the cuts and even go higher than previous years on many of the programs that DOGE slashed,” Schumer responded.

Did he think that through? He will create more dead head jobs again which I'm sure will cost billions. I hope the voters realize where that money will come from.

Hopefully they will use that in their campaign ads.

“we restore most of the cuts and even go higher than previous years on many of the programs that DOGE slashed…”
If I were Elon, I would be torqued.
Who, in the Administration and faux “leaders” in Congress, hasn’t thought through the events of this past year and done something to codify PDJT’s progress?!
I feel I’m living in the Twilight Zone. At this rate, Maduro and his wife will return to Venezuela, with back pay and a little something extra.

Most of the GOP members of Congress are useless putzes but the alternative is even worse. All we can do is hope that the mid terms are swarmed by voters who appreciate what Donald Trump has done for this country and create a large enough majority that the soy boys are declawed. Schumer's career is over but there are too many more like him and Jeffries out there.

I'm guessing the demonut pollsters don't really poll real taxpayers on these issues to come up with their plans. I'll bet they sit around in a room and decide what to say thinking this is great amongst themselves. They figure that their dumb as rocks voters will be all in if they just market it a certain way and it comes off as an anti-Trump initiative.

He men’s he will restore all the fraud, waste, and abuse of taxpayers’ money that DOGE cut. Only government “workers “ and Somalis are likely to want this money restored.

Dems are really missing their back door funding that they got through their fraudulent programs.
This is a real threat. It should be a crystal clear issue for voters. Do you want your government wasting money on foolish things and illegal things done without oversight? Sure the hard Leftists do, they benefit from it. But the "Independent" voters? They may not like the hard charging parts of Trump's administration but they don't want the kinds of programs that DOGE has cut either.
The good thing is, the dems are sinking into quicksand of criminality and incompetence and it is unlikely they will rally for the midterms. That will give us another couple years to rebuild the economy and expose and clean up the Left's abuses. By 2028, hopefully the majority of the Country will not see the Dems as a viable alternative for government except in hovels of Leftism like NYC. With federal support cut off for Leftist strongholds, they will collapse.

Right, screw the deficit. We really need to be spending billions to see if a Nicuraguan hamster can have sex while doing cocaine and sipping tea at the same time. Vitally important for national security you know.

Ads every evening after 8pm. Show Schumer saying about restoring the cuts made by DOGE. Then show what some of the cuts were. I looked up a few...
Funding a University of Florida study on the "social and institutional detriments of vulnerability and resilience to climate hazards in [the] African Sahel."
$1,500,000 (USAID) – Promoting DEI business policies and LGBTQ+ entrepreneurship in Serbia.
$900,000 (IAF) – Supporting alpaca farming in Peru.
There's a lot more of this ridiculous or corrupt spending of taxpayers money. Place an ad every night between now and the November elections.

Chuck Schumer's comments and Nick Shirley's video are the best campaign ads Republicans could ever hope for.

How is that a good thing? Even for the left. Yeah let's pay money we don't have on things we don't need. Oh wait, let's even pay more than we did before. Is that actually supposed to make me want to vote for you? We need more fraud! We need more trans surgeries in Bangladesh! Tell me you average leftist isn't so stupid.

Not only do Republicans need to win the mid term election, but we need to make sure we're getting actual Conservatives to be the nominees coming out of the primaries. We'll all find out somewhat how this will go when the primary season is over. We'll either have the same 'ol backstabbing Rinos to vote for in the general election, or someone different.
Primary season is almost upon us. People better be sharp on their candidates and not fall for the lies which will belch forth from the DemonRats and Rinos.

They will also end the filibuster, open the borders again, and arrest thousands of MAGA leaders. Trump will finish his life in jail, if they get their way. All the Republicans in Congress who are voting with the Democrats now do so because they hope to be allowed to continue posing as fake "opposition" under the permanent single-party rule the Marxists will finally achieve in the entire country as they have already done in blue states such as Oregon.

It’s obvious today the the USA from its founding up to recent times was protected from foreign invasion by the great oceans, but that no longer appears to be the case, and if such silent invasions from foreign areas of primitive cultures and traditions, especially the absolutist Islamist ideology that is opposed to the current dominant US cultures and traditions by calling for Christians and Jews who refuse to convert to Islam be killed is not stopped, that the USA will itself transform into some sort of future socialist utopia. Clearly the leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrats as currently constituted are not about to stop any such silent invasion as they just want to make the foreign invaders future Democrat supporters and voters in unlimited numbers to keep them, the Democrats in permanent majority political power.

The Democrat Party depends for its lifeblood on NGOs and nonprofits that launder taxpayer money. Any money that does not come directly from the US Treasury through a federal agency is fraud by definition. NGO and nonprofit middlemen are fraud by definition.
