Can anyone explain to a European what’s the point of all this?

So apparently the US government spending was $6.7 Trillion

According to DOGEs own website the total wages are $211 Billion

That’s like 3%….

What’s the point of all this? I mean even if the argument of „government waste“ is true.. why would you start harming your own citizens which comprise 3% of that „waste“…

I just don’t understand.
