A net exporter wants low tariffs and low costs to flood the market.

 Just because you don't like the source doesn't mean the numbers are
 wrong - add them up yourself if you like.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/doge-wall-of-receipts-shows-errors-tallying-billions-in-savings/

DOGE's estimates include spent costs on contracts that they're not
getting back and shouldn't be reflected as savings. Millions mistaken
for Billions. Reflecting the same contracts multiple times.

$2 billion, aproximately 0.1% of the federal budget. Hardly the panacea
Musk touted. Admirable, but I also worry about a conflict of interest in
these efforts. We have a man with billions in government subsidies who's
auditing government spending.
