@QuiGungan I guess I’m an idiot, I have seen the lists of wasteful spending. Can you justify any of them?

I’m all about a safety upgrade.
With the support of President @realDonaldTrump, the @DOGE team will aim to make rapid safety upgrades to the air traffic control system. Just a few days ago, the FAA’s primary aircraft safety notification system failed for several hours!
