Amount of money saved by Doge so far

Chances are that most of these items are just completely made up bullshit, but for the ones that are real, how do you know that they are wasteful and abusive?

 

Any evidence that the list is accurate? the claim about $50 million to Gaza for condoms apparently wasn’t.

 

You know what would be super useful to look into some of these claims? If they hadnt of scrubbed the website with all the information. Not shady at all

And I can't wait to see the budget deficit come way down with all these spending cuts. The current projection for 2025 is $1.9 trillion. I bet they will cut that by at least a few billion with all the spending they are eliminating.

 

Democrats Warn Trump’s Unelected Shadow Government Is Dismantling Their Unelected Shadow Government | Babylon Bee

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Alarm bells are sounding across the United States government, where Democrats are warning that President Trump's unelected shadow government is totally dismantling the unelected shadow government Democrats worked so hard to build.

After decades spent entrenching a bureaucracy dedicated to doing their bidding, Democrats have taken to the streets in protest of Trump hiring unelected officials to fire their unelected officials.

"We are literally watching Democracy crumble before our very eyes," said Senator Chuck Schumer, shouting outside shuttered USAID offices. "Elon Musk, who may I remind you is unelected, is coming in and demolishing these institutions of people that are unelected. It is just so not fair. Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Many are calling Elon Musk's employment in the government a Constitutional crisis, stating that other than the three million people already working for the government, the President hiring someone to do a job is simply unheard of. "Allowing an unelected official to work in the government is basically fascism," explained Treasury Department employee Arlene Magill. "We cannot allow a citizen like Musk to see what taxpayer money is spent on. Only the thousands of unelected employees who work at Treasury are allowed to do that."

 

From what I can see this is nothing more than a twitter post.

 

Not too far from reality

 

Correct, it turns out that it was $45 million in verified contraceptives.

 

this list is ridiculous. $2M for pottery classes in Morocco. There's a lot of americans that visit and would like to have some well done souvenirs. That should not be cut. And $2M to promote tourism in Lebanon. How many americans go overseas on vacations every year but probably skip over that country because they do not know much about it. Same with the $6M in tourism to Egypt. And definitely need to keep the $20M to recreate sesame street in Iraq. Children's education is just as important in Iraq as it is in countries like Afghanistan.

 

Between DOGE and Twitter purchase...Elon going bankrupt any. day. now.

 

The Western dialogue on this is pretty interesting. If anyone hunts out west on public vs private lands and the different access laws.

Utah followed by Montana and others have had movements to try and get all Federal lands turned over to the states for management. A number of hunting groups have urged caution over fears of selling the lands, big corporate handovers, etc.

Now you have Musk tweeting (or whatever the heck it is being called) that the only State lands should be those that have buildings on them. I certain he meant to say, and statues too! Damn Doggy is expanding. Fire sales!

The problem with the gubment workers (imho)is difficulty in firing due to layers of Union agreements. Poor negotiations over the years. Especially during the lean years, oh give them this benny, it won’t cost us……. The problem with doge is it is run by a bunch of bully tards that have been fed facts by newsmax.

Unfortunately business and Governance are not the same. Especially private equity. Did noone see Pretty Woman!

Now get off my lawn, I have to put another coat of epoxy on a flyrod. People eating tasty animals you know.
