Biden is Mentally Fit Posted November 13 Posted November 13 Rather than lump everything into a MUSK thread perhaps it’s good to have one specifically for the lefties to whine about DOGE activities. I ❤️ DOGE. It will probably cost me my job along the way but that’s beside the point. 3 1 2
Doc Brown Posted November 13 Posted November 13 Did Trump just create this agency to bypass Musk and Vivek from being confirmed by the Senate? I know to have an official government position you'd have to divest yourself from your businesses. This sounds great (especially to the libertarian types) but my guess is it's the ultimate money making scheme.

The name of the department is literally a money making scheme for a guy who holds a lot of Doge Coin.

I have mixed feelings about Trump's choices and was one that voted more against Harris than for him, but I absolutely love this idea. People do not realize just how ineffective government spending is. I have always wanted the government to have mandatory open books. Once the wasteful spending is cut, there will be a lot more to go around for all of the vital services and programs.

If the DOGE results in the government disclosing what theier books to the people for accountability, that makes it a lot harder to get away with wasteful spending. What is wrong with that? Why is that a bad thing? Edited November 13 by dgrochester55 1

Besides, we have an existing role for that kind of activity in the inspectors general. 2

Your post reads more sour grapes than anything. 1 2

I am interested in seeing how well the inspectors general have performed.
sherpa Posted November 13 Posted November 13 Start simple. End any taxpayer funded contributions to any museum. Stop the stupidity of funding NPR. There is no reason they shouldn't face commercial challenges like all other media. Look closely at our UN contribution, and make it proportional to what others do.
K D Posted November 13 Posted November 13 (edited) DC local economy is about to collapse when these fat cats that don't do anything all get fired and can't afford those million dollar townhomes. It will get worse before it gets better. They are going to blast it all over fake media about how it's cruel to fire all of these people and deport illegals etc. But at some point someone has to be the adult and say ok play time is over. It's not popular but it's necessary. If they do audits and cut government spending, get rid of illegals, and have everything running more efficiently, maybe some day that means there is more money for healthcare, retirement, low income housing, veteran benefits. Everyone wins. So people need to STFU and let this happen! Edited November 13 by K D 2
