The DOGE plan that could cost millions

"The last time there was a concerted push on Capitol Hill to strip funding from Planned Parenthood, the Congressional Budget Office calculated that doing so would actually cost the government more than it saved — $130 million over 10 years to be exact." www.politico.com/newsletters/...
