Under deposition, two baby faced DOGE staffers say they have "no regrets" for people losing income...
In lengthy depositions, two DOGE employees -- Justin Fox and Nate Cavanaugh -- defended the effort to cut "useless agencies" as part of DOGE's attempt to reduce the federal deficit.
"You don't regret that people might have lost important income ... to support their lives?" an attorney asked Cavanaugh about the grant cancellations.
"No. I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit from $2 trillion to close to zero," Cavanaugh said.
"Did you reduce the federal deficit?" the attorney asked.
"No, we didn't," Cavanaugh said.
