    Why does this not suprise anyone that Trump/Musk and right wing cultists who are specifically cutting federal departments that keep them in check, will end up costing the taxpayers $Trillions. Who ever would have thought it??

    Will Elon Musk's DOGE lose more money than it saves? | FOX8 WGHP

    This is how stupid DOGE is.
    • First they post garbage and the press burns them
    • Then they reduce the identifying information so the press cant research their claims
    • Then the press finds transactions numbers in the web page code to aid their search and burns them again.

    It would be nice if his information was accurate and not just BS. There is less of an attempt to identify real waste than there is to get the data right and that's not saying much.

    As opposed to just letting the govt squander and take in extra taxes as it always has.
    No thanks.

    No effort to find waste. The effort is to cancel appropriated money for programs one man doesnt like. That isnt the same thing. Regardless the vast majority of money was canceled or not spent years ago. Wouldnt you like accurate stuff or are you happy if he cancels $1M of something you dont like and reports out that it was $1B in savings. Seems like you'd prefer a true count of "savings". What efficiency have we seen?

    The true sheeple just believing whatever Trump, and now hilariously, Elon musk, tell them to believe. I used to think it was sad now it’s just funny.

    They’re going to end up just as bloated as the same government programs they have been trying to cut. Except they all have TikTok accounts.

    Kinda ironic the boomers secretly getting fleeced by the same generation they hate

    SHOCKING. DOGE is a fraud, outright incompetent or (my money) both!!!!! This is really shocking given that it is Elon "I just want to dismantle all of the agencies suing me and my companies and do not give a damn about anything else" Musk and his merry band of liars, morons or lying morons that work for him.

    And you guys worship the embodiment of fraud and waste because he claims that they (Trump and Musk) are fighting it when in fact they are doing the opposite, in effect using the Federal government and their positions to enrich themselves.

    Fictional “savings” of $715 per person, while making a real $5 trillion in wealth disappear from the stock market… that is the reality of the Trump admin so far, but MAGA thinks the math works out …

    Social Security Administration is starting to fall apart after the DOGE cuts have started to take their toll. Nice work, Trump & Musk.

    Long waits, waves of calls, web crashes: Social Security is breaking down

    Wonder what a mass uprising of mad as heck golf-cart seniors is gonna look like?

    It's especially rich that many will have to make an in-person to a SSA office just to regain online account access -- all while many local offices are being closed.

    Efficiency? Yeah, right.
