red viking Posted February 22 Posted February 22 DOGE continues to be a complete joke as they continue to cut pennies from our multi trillion dollar deficit. Laying off civilian staff from the Pentagon. How about some big ticket items, like the contractors raking in billions of non bid dollars for weapons we dont need? They'll barely touch that or won't touch it at all. Guaranteed. Just cut workers, which are hired to eliminate waste fraud and abuse.

Expand They're a joke, and I'll continue to expose the fact that they're incompetent and not really cutting the budget anything more than a negligible amount. Just cutting employees so his businesses won't be regulated as much. MORE waste and fraud will be the net result.
Husker_Du Posted February 22 Posted February 22 can't you just added it to one of the existing DOGE threads? also Quote Just cut workers, which are hired to eliminate waste fraud and abuse. Expand really? b/c they can't pass an audit and literally cannot account for where billions went. TBD

Expand So shrinking the work force will fix that, right? Fewer people to oversee the fat bloated non bid contracts going to defense contractors. Winger logic once again.
Husker_Du Posted February 22 Posted February 22 are you saying everyone they fired were accountants? lol TBD

The savings will reportedly go toward more contractor $. Musk, coincidentally, is a military contractor. Anybody that isn't an idiot can see that DOGE isn't really about saving tax dollars but rather about eliminating oversight of the money and enforcement of federal regulations. I can 100% guarantee that this ends up resulting in more waste and fraud. Too many idiots getting hoodwinked.
Scouts Honor Posted February 22 Posted February 22 they are laying off from the largest corporation in the world i agree, they can go after more depts. but maybe they will maybe you should wait for the facts to come in 1

The vast majority by far of the Pentagon's budget is for the fat cat contractors (like SpaceX) that don't even have to bid on overpriced weapon systems. Edited February 22 by red viking

Husker_Du Posted February 22 Posted February 22 they keep making cuts every day. and you keep saying it don't matter. so what was YOUR admin doing? TBD

I have integrity so I'm gonna say that Biden did a poor job w the deficit. Doesn't change the fact that President Musk, diaper boy and thus congress are gonna do an even worse job. The layoffs are a dog and pony show Edited February 22 by red viking
Scouts Honor Posted February 23 Posted February 23 i was laughing at your insertion of space x in there... what a tool
Bigbrog Posted February 23 Posted February 23 (edited) When was the president sworn in again...only about 1.5 months ago...and yet people are complaining that DOGE has only cut a small percentage of the overall budget...then out the other side of their mouth complain they are going to fast?? I'll ask any of you who rip on Musk/Trump indiscriminately...let's just say what DOGE is cutting is a small percentage of the overall budget (again it's only been 1.5 MONTHS), do you honestly believe that it shouldn't be cut if it is wasteful/fraud because it is a small percentage??? You honestly don't think if this continues for another 3.75 years that a significant impact can be made to cut the budget and remove waste/fraud?? Edited February 23 by Bigbrog 1
Offthemat Posted February 23 Posted February 23 1.1 months. 1 month and 3 days And it’s all to the good. Many of the most important positions have been filled with impressive leaders. The interest rate has started lowering a little. It’s only a matter of time before egg prices start falling. What will the dimocrats complain about then?

Very hard for them to continue that. Even staying somewhat close to the current levels would be a huge disappointment. Inflation hasn't slowed down at all yet and overall deficit spending is going even higher. FAIL!

The Trump adm. is moving to alleviate the irresponsible slaughter of chickens, which will bring their prices back to normal.
