I have never seen such a more biased poll than this garbage survey instrument from the Heritage Foundation asking where they/DOGE should cut next (EPA, Dept of Ed, FBI, Dept of State and HUD are on their priority list.).
https://secured.heritage.org/the-heritage-doge-survey/ Heritage Foundation DOGE Survey With the Trump-Vance Administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) making massive cuts to the federal government, our country has a unique opportunity to rein in the federal government’s out-of-control spending. We want to know what parts of the federal government are most harmful to the American people and should be prioritized for DOGE’s chopping block. |

| I am outraged that the Heritage Foundation is superseding the role of Congress by asking which agencies should be cut. |

The United States doesn’t do anything unless they think it’s gonna give us something in return. What these programs do is they build Goodwill in other countries and stability in governments that could become unstable. Once we pull all this money from all Nobody’s gonna feel any positive way towards the United States when it comes to making decisions about who’s an ally. Did you really think this was about girl power? https://2021-2025.state.gov/state-department-celebrates-one-year-of-the-u-s-women-climate-strategy-at-cop-29/ |

A simple Google would tell you it's entrepreneurship and leadership training for young women so they can be economically successful. Don't be misled by the inflammatory wording. Example: https://hivos.org/program/global-girls-creating-change-g2c2/ |

And it’s incredibly unpopular by the taxpayers footing the bill. |

It's not just goodwill. When people are safe and financially comfortable in their own countries, they don't immigrate. There is less terrorism and disease. And they are less vulnerable to manipulation by larger countries that the U.S. competes with. Basically, "help people stay where they are, and help there be nothing so bad that it spills over the borders." And educating girls is a huge part of that, because women are big drivers of domestic / non-violent economic growth, and broad education makes the culture more likely to align with U.S. values (using "values" loosely, but no country that doesn't educate girls is aligned with U.S. values). |

This is just such a ridiculous waste of taxpayer money. Where is the stewardship? |

Taxpayers are stupid. They don’t understand the concept of soft power. |

Good Question. One of the first things Trump did was fire people in charge of ferreting out fraud, waste and abuse and send in a bunch of prepubescent incel virgin computer hackers who know nothing. |

| Can I suggest asking Feds which offices they’d like to cut in their own agencies? I know of several purely administrative, policy offices that are hated by thousands. They solely exist to give us busy work and to fight with our amazing senior managers. Administrative functions need to be cut before you cut the peons doing the actual work. |

 Bet you a dollar the "busy work" is required by statute.
This is like the program guy complaining that "legal" always makes him "check the boxes." Yes, they are asking you to follow the law, how annoying. |

Or the idea that we have all these "red tape bureaucracy" jobs that need to be cut. That work is required by statute too, usually.... |
