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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

gt hasn’t been directly affected, so your contentions don’t exist in his world.

gt isn’t here to learn or make sound arguments; he hasn’t for many years. He’s here to twist threads into knots. He just claimed to believe musk’s “wall of receipts”. That list has been shredded into confetti by investigative journalists (bc musk lies nearly as much as Don), and repeatedly reduced by MANY billions, because, oopsie, those were the nuclear guys, or, oopsie, that was one too many zeros.

I sincerely hope you and those you care about get fired and brought back and yo-yo'ed around like that. It is what you need to teach you a little bit of hubris and empathy.

I love the notion that someone can call themselves centrist, "independent", or nonpartisan and yet support DOGE and actually believe that they're doing a good job and know what the hell they're doing with all of these cuts. If you believe they're doing a good job then you're a Trump Republican, no matter how much you deny it, maybe even to yourself.

Here's a great example of waste.

But hey guys, according to Trumper posters here AOC spent like $800 on dancing lessons or something and that's the real scandal happening here! Who cares about wasting vastly greater amounts of taxpayer money researching something that has already been thoroughly researched and found not to be an issue, all because it's RFK, Jrs. pet obsession? We should all be outraged by AOC's socialism - get with the program, people!

Universities are facing big cuts to research funding. At Duke, it's a time for 'damage control'

Facing the potential loss of hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding, Duke University is preparing for the worst.

The problem here is there will be a delay before we fully understand how Musk and his puppet trump have fucked the country, so those like GT will get to blame someone else for their gods' failures.

And so, why do you think Elon is trustworthy enough to cut/not cut departments and programs independently of his own his self-interest, as opposed to the national interest? Do you think he's really in it for the well being of his fellow American?
