It's already been shown that DOGE's claims of finding fraud had been grossly exaggerated in some agencies and simply false in others. There are articles showing that DOGE has already had to go back on many of their claims, including ridiculously inflated claims as to how much taxpayer money they're saving. And not only that, they have also literally fired people who are so vital in some agencies - like nuclear weapons inspectors - that they've had to go back and try to rehire them, but in some cases had not even gotten the email addresses or phone numbers of the people they'd fired and so had to do a frantic search to even find them. This has all been a massive clusterf*** from top to bottom and will no doubt be recorded by history as such.
And there is not nearly enough fraud or scams in the government to even begin to pay for all of the massive cuts that Republicans and Project 2025 want to make. At a minimum they're going to have to slash Medicaid, and likely cut or try to privatize Medicare or Social Security too. And I'm sure that when that happens our usual suspects will be here telling us that this is all perfectly normal, that Democrats are somehow just as bad, and that Medicaid and/or Medicare and/or Social Security all needed to be cut or privatized, despite their assurances on this board during the campaign that this would all never happen.
