I like The Doge program. I hope the cuts keep coming and I hope they continue to point out some of these ridiculous programs that we're paying for with the hope that the executive branch and Congress will treat our tax money with a lot more care in the future.

You feel like you know enough about each of the departments and programs cut that you support it?

Or do you just reflexively trust Elon's judgment?

If the ones we have now couldn't do there job there in lies the problem. We don't need more bureaucracy. Since you don't know enough you're not qualified to have opinions on Doge.

Maybe they couldn't do their job because there wasn't enough of them. And I guess you know enough to be all in on what DOGE is doing, even though Trump and Musk have offered no evidence at all to support the crap they are doing to the country and ruining lives by freezing the money and people losing their jobs.

Exactly where is the evidence that any of the money they are freezing is wasteful? Do you think money to help people have clean water is wasteful? Do you think money to help people grow food and not starve is wasteful? Do you think programs to keep diseases from spreading and killing people are wasteful? Because that is what has been cut. Also, it's illegal.

DOGE doesn’t know shit about government spending.

You don’t know shit about government spending.

DOGE is cutting with a chain saw. You applaud that because you are either ignorant or such a MAGA partisan or both.

When DOGE fires critical employees and then has to rehire them - that’s not efficiency. It’s not cost-effective.

I’m willing to say the government has some inefficiencies and some waste and fraud.

Let’s find it and eliminate it.

DOGE and Project 2025 are NOT doing that.

This 100%. DOGE is slashing and burning a forest without replanting anything! At some point it’s going to cause massive issues. The prudent and smart thing to do would be to selectively cut pieces. It’s sad honestly.

He just trust what elon tells him. No one has the kind of all inclusive knowledge he's adding for. Not elon, not trump, no one.

Well give us a hint. He has to at least be half way to his two trillion dollar goal, right.

Just wait until he finishes his twitter style government overhaul.

Maybe then you will realize how much you actually need government services and a good economy as he will wreck both if left unchecked.

Musk hasn't claimed $1T in savings at this point.

I’ve posted this before, but the ONLY way to eliminate fraud is thru an audit function. Indiscriminately cutting cost is NOT going to work. Unless, of course, your goal is to eliminate these programs. And all of you stupid Trump supporters are going to wind up ruing these cuts. Of course, you don’t know enough about how our government functions to be able to make observations on what musk is doing. But that’s okay, because you and your loved ones are to pay a heavy price one day.

The evidence is on the wall of receipts. Here is a link.


I don't agree with every single one of the programs Doge is cutting. I do agree with many of them and do agree with the impetus to make those cuts.

He said he basically knew before the election that he could cut $2T.

Why's it taking so long? Maybe it's because he doesn't know a fucking thing about government or any of these jobs or agencies.

I certainly don't know enough about each of the departments and programs cut. I think the process of cutting and then adding back if there is a mistake is probably the best of some imperfect options.
