As a taxpayer, I don’t have a problem with this even without knowing the details.

+1. What I do have a problem with is this poorly designed survey. I don’t want to cut EPA, the FBI, HUD, Dept of State-why isn’t that an option? Why use misleading descriptions of govt funded projects? Why not ask people if they agree with the funding of 30bn$ in govt grants for SpaceX rather than 3 mn$ for climate action.

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.

If we wanna save money, why doesn’t the government mandate very very very very very low prices for Microsoft, Cisco, AWS, Oracle, etc

Cut all IT costs by 70% price fixing everything IT.

Because IT costs are a drop in the bucket and lots of important government functions run on noncommercial software ... but it's concerning that you think government should "mandate" the prices of commercial products.

You know it’s a drop in the bucket is federal salaries.

What’s concerning is that you think most federal functions run on non-commercial software?

Noncommercial cloud? Noncommercial operating systems.?

Who doesn’t want to lose their huge outrageous and wasteful commission.

Most waste is in DOD and they’re not even cutting there.

Y’all have been bamboozled.

Reading some of these spending choices would make any American blood boil. What were they thinking approving these kinds of grants?

But this should not be a reflection on the Fed employees who are merely implementing these things rather than making policy decisions.

Where are you reading about it, because DOGE is pushing a lot of lies so don't believe them? If you read something that makes you think "that's outrageous!" assume it is a lie until you verify with someone who actually understands the department at issue.

+1 I'd choose "D. None of the above." Why isn't that an option? Where is the open option to fill in alternatives about what should be cut?

It’s cool that they’re being so open about who is really in charge. They should just dissolve Congress while they’re at it— what’s the point?

[Anonymous]

Pretty sure this is all just a way to add to their email list and that the cuts will touch every agency eventually.

Obviously random internet polling is the way professionals successfully find waste and fraud.

I can't believe we are allowing a foundation to determine the order in which we destroy our government.

The fact that most of the country is OK with what's happening is a sad reflection of our education system. Too many kids are allowed to be homeschooled and parents have their nose in the school board not letting teachers teach.

This post pretty much captures why Democrats lost, will keep losing and deserve to keep losing the next 12 years:

An overwhelming contempt for "most of the country" as in thinking they are all uneducated idiots. Parents do not know what is good for their own kids, but this poster knows what is good for other people kids.

You know what happens when you look down at them like you are doing?

Trump and Musk.

It is an option and it’s the one I chose

That's one anonymous person who could be a MAGA rabble rouser or posting from Uganda, for all you know.
