On Wednesday's “CNN News Central,” Sen. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) wondered what the federal government was doing, saying, “We're not part of the World Health Organization, as we've found a new Covid virus in China.”
Co-host Boris Sanchez asked: “The argument from Doge supporters is that, as the president said, the federal government is bloated, prosperous, spending levels are unsustainable, and like Elon Musk, the country does not change dramatically, the country goes and goes bankrupt. Where do you think Doge should focus? Where should the cuts be?”
Dingell said, “Look, you wouldn't mind. If you take a program, put something together, take a cleft of flesh, chop everything, but you're putting something together. But in addition to what he's doing and how he's doing it — in addition to the fact that he has access to the road. [too much] Personal data.

They fired people at the CDC. We're not tracking it. They found the new covid virus in China and we are not part of the World Health Organization, so what are they doing? I was able to go by department. Safety – There are many safety issues, from the number of close range crashes to what we've seen in recent weeks. See, I'll start with the Department of Defense. I'm sure there's a lot of waste there, but let's do it in a targeted, effective way, rather than the x of meat that hurts people every day. ”
