To avoid a misinterpretation I almost fell into, notice that everything turns on Andy's second-to-last sentence--i.e., it is only the DOT regulations related to this law which DOGE can get Trump to eliminate. DOGE/Trump do not eliminate the poorly written law itself.
DOGE cannot go back in time and prevent all the shameful abuses of the law/program. Andy's point is that DOGE blindly eliminates all the DOT jerry-riggings of the law designed to prevent those abuses. Thus, many of them will happen all over again!
