How are the recent government cuts under Trump and Musk affecting Americans?

The government cuts are impacting essential services and functions that affect all Americans regardless of political affiliation. As described by Garrett Hake, these cuts involve people's livelihoods and key government functions, with rising concerns that these actions are not making the country safer. According to Mara Gay, there is minimal transparency in how this 'slashing and burning' is being implemented, suggesting these cuts are primarily designed to prepare for Trump's tax cuts for the wealthy rather than improving government efficiency.
