Well that's a nice straw man. I think a more apt analogy would be I need to lose weight so I'm giving up the after-dinner mint I have after every meal.

It's a start.

What makes you think it’s a straw man? Do you think that research, food safety, nuclear safety, compliance with legal requirements, avoiding lawsuits for not breaking contracts, etc. are not more important to the government than your mint is to you? We’ve seen DOGE botch all of those and more recently, and the cost is greater than the savings.
