DOGE People Are Idiots. Heres Why

[red viking]

You idiots need to look at the actual federal budget. The ONLY way to cut any significant costs is to go after the big ticket items. For example, social security, Medicare and military. Cutting government workers and Dept of Education barely makes a dent. 

Can't believe how many idiots there are in this country.

OK. Not wanting to argue with you but I was wondering if you might just google something. Just google waste and fraud in the federal government.

Lol. Deflection. There's always waste, in both private and public sectors. You can go ahead and "trim the fat" all you want but you still aren't going to make any meaningful cuts without going after the big ticket expenditures. Actually, cutting oversight (workers) of federal budgets will probably INCREASE fraud and waste. 

Claims re: to balancing the budget by cutting only the tiny programs and "trimming fat"is a bunch of garbage, and actually not remotely close to possible. The people that buy into this are morons and the people that propose it are either morons, manipulating you, gutless or a combination of these. Probably all of the above.  

If you want to actually make significant cuts, you need to slash military and/or programs like social security, health insurance, Medicare and Medicaid. It's pretty simple. Welcome to reality.

Or you could wait to see what they actually cut and if it makes a difference.  Then form an opinion… then judge / comment.    Maybe you could do that.   Maybe you can compare what they cut vs what that department that is supposed to be cutting actually cut and compare that.  Maybe you could do that.

So far they are talking about only cutting programs that are very small and most people don't care about anyway.  If they had guts, theyd make REAL cuts and tell us that theyre gonna do it . Keep drinking the Kool Aid though. 

[red viking]

Until they start talking about cuts to bigger programs that are growing the most, this is just a deflection and will give the idiots out there false hope.

Have you heard of John Hart, the new CEO of watch dog "Open The Books". He says they already have 10 billion lines of code on federal spending, waste and fraud. I think he would be great for him to team up with Elon and Vivek.

That's great if they can decrease the waste. Seriously. I'd like that. Especially in our fat bloated military. But don't think that you can come remotely close to balancing the overall budget that way. You can't eliminate all waste anyway. Just decrease it. Every administration since the beginning of time has wanted to do this btw. 

There also comes a point where you can spend more on workers that elimate waste than the actual waste that existed in 1st place, or where cutting workers results in more fraud (due to less oversight) than the original costs of those workers.

I'm talking reality here so I'm not gonna shut up. People need to look at the actual expenditures in our government before talking about cuts.

"We're going to attempt to curb government waste."

Mouthbreathing lefties: "this is stupid."

You need to do more than that though. This is a deflection. 

[red viking]

I'm not even winger but even I know that we need to cut social security, health care benefits and military spending. Or increase taxes for everybody. Take your pick but don't deflect with claims about balancing the budget simply by cutting "waste." 

[Husker_Du]

you'd argue the sky wasn't blue if someone on the right said it was.

you're a cliche. 

how 'bout we just set up a thread for liberal tears and that can be your safespace so you don't clog up the rest of the board with nonsense?

Please reference where they've said have made decisions on what to cut.
