(36,033 posts)Taxpayers are receiving LESS services. Less FEMA, NOAA, FDA, NIH, US-AID, Defense, Social Security access, Medicare, Medicaid, and so on.
DOGE is essentially a tax to keep Smuk the richest man in the world.

America is now less safe.
Key public safety agencies covering nuclear, aviation, food & extreme weather lie gutted.
Personal data has been stolen and privacy violated.
The most extraordinary attack on the structures of government since the birth of the Constitution.
There should be arrests.

(20,256 posts)I think it's more about Donny lashing out at the "deep state" he blames for the abject failure of his first term. The firings are the important part for him, not cutting spending. He has no clue how government works. He thinks its like his little pissy companies, where everyone down to the lowest level has to kiss his ass regularly. No, Donny, you idiot, beyond the thin shell of political appointees, government employees are loyal to the American people, the Constitution, and the dictates of the law as passed by Congress. Period. EOM.
Elmo? I think the man-child is along for the ride, and more government contracts (spending.) He doesn't give two shits if the government is "efficient", whatever the hell that means.

(7 posts)Elon's main objective was to neuter all the regulatory arms that were investigating his companies and regulating him. Wonder how much of this extra money went to his crew of frat boys.

(8,257 posts)I think he has his own personal agenda (to steal all the data) that is going just fine for him. The evil rat bastard.
