Breadlines?
One thing I don't see mentioned very much is the impact DOGE's slashing of government expenditures will have on the economy as a whole. While the MAGAs applaud ending 'wasteful' spending, they don't seem to understand the consequences of choking off billions of dollars a day of money moving through the system.
The US government is a huge purchaser of wheat and corn through the USAID program. Remove it as a buyer and what happens to the price of these commodities? Yep, they fall. Furloughed workers don't go to restaurants or buy new cars or take vacations. So businesses close, manufacturing slows, and the economy as a whole starts to adjust to the new reality of severely curtailed monetary velocity (as economists term it).
So. I'm not an economist, but I know that while inflation is an irritant, and disinflation is a problem, deflation is a killer. People close their wallets and refuse to spend. Prices fall, workers are laid off, fear takes over. Falling prices may sound like a good thing, but they are actually the death rattle of a dying economy.
Is this what the right wants? Because this is what they will get...
