Cory Booker: “Resoundingly, yes. I am just laughing that every time DOGE puts up their supposed savings, they then try to take them…”

“Resoundingly, yes. I am just laughing that every time DOGE puts up their supposed savings, they then try to take them down because, as soon as they are fact-checked, so many of them are not done. And I don't want to say all of them. I don't want to paint that broad a brush. I know about having Microsoft licenses, too many. Yes, there is waste. I wish we were doing this in a bipartisan way. Those cuts would be bigger and probably have a lot more staying power than what they are doing, which is ready, fire, aim, and then having to beg people to come back to work because they fired FAA people or nuclear regulators or what have you. But this is the bigger point that you are making that really is getting me: So you know this. I used to be an executive. There is nobody in this body--here is a bold, bold, braggadocious thing to say, but fact-check me, anybody. There is nobody in this body who was a Governor, a county executive, like Coons or a mayor who cut government as much as I did. I had to cut my government by 25 percent. Imagine that here at the Federal level. I had to do it because I couldn't print money. It was a national recession. I was left with a mess. I had to do it, but we found ways to do it cooperatively with the legislature and bringing in experts. But this is the point I want to make to you: One thing I couldn't cut were my healthcare costs. So I started asking people: What can I do? Do you know whom I found?…”
