This is a reasonable estimate.

You can’t even handle mail delivery with that absurd amount. But, sure I’m happy to eliminate the IRS.

That sounds distressing. I'd hate it if all the junk mail they send me didn't arrive on time.

Eliminate 75% of the TSA and it would definitely impact quite a few DCUM posters.

We need one of Musk’s incels to become a whistleblower.

No. No it doesn't. It looks like you are really gullible and a madman drug addict billionaire has conned you. Like in a bad, bad movie.

It's like Dont Look Up but the asteroid is Musk.

I'm curious. What's corrupt? What DOGE did is illegal but you care about law and order? You can't shutter a program b/c you don't like it. That's arbitrary and capricious. That's illegal.

Nope. That is a number randomly pulled out of the previous poster's a$$.

Okay, so let's start with that number and see if more are needed. What precise number would you bring it down to?

MAGA and their pretzel logic: let’s write a magic crayon number on a board and reduce the govt to that number. No thoughtful analysis, no economic models, no strategic plan, no consideration of our nation’s values, and on.

If your perspective is that all non-defense spending is bad, sure, but you may find Americans aren't happy when they find out they can't reach anybody as SSA, the VA is horrifically understaffed, and basic federal government functions aren't being fulfilled. If these things were actually popular, Trump would have gone through Congress which would make these changes permanent and legal. Instead they are farts in the wind.

Are you talking about all those millionaires in Congress?

You people are insufferable — you don’t care about the billionaire cabinet right? The richest man in the world who has gotten $20B in taxpayer $$ as our de facto president? Only millionaire Dems. Maybe try thinking for yourself.

Yes, those American farmers screwing over taxpayers. I hope Musk buys their farm and they can pick berries.

Maybe I missed it, but thus far I haven't seen anything that would qualify as corrupt or fraudulent. I have seen people pointing to line items and expenditures that they (and I) don't like. But nothing nefarious. No expenditures that appear masked or that go to surreptitiously benefit a particular individual.

If only they were doing an actual audit. But they aren't doing any sort of audit at all. DOGE just looks at line items and if Elon doesn't like it he screams corruption.

Some of them for sure are going to be spending their next few years being sued, being grilled in Congressional hearings, and quite possibly serving jail time. So I hope Elon has already set aside millions for each of them to cover that and make it worthwhile, otherwise once they realize what is coming their way, they should feel quite incentivized to do some whistleblowing. That is, if they are even smart enough to realize what the problem is.

Still waiting for genuine evidence of waste or fraud. So far all we have are disinformation and ignorance from a delusional troll.

He’s exploiting their youth and naïveté- line any cult leader.
