Big Balls and DOGE interview

Or even know any generally accepting accounting procedures that all federal agencies follow - see GAO Greenbook for more info.

If the ignorant doge dolts would go talk to the accountants - or learned anything about accounting prior to thinking they are accountants - or would have talked to the IGs prior to firing them all - they would know every cent is counted in federal systems.

For example, I worked with an IG federal forensic accountant that tried to get a state to pay back less than $80 on a $20m award because they had used state per diem not federal per diem. Finally backed down and let the state have $ when shown fed regs that allow states to use their own laws/regs for purchasing and contracting. And the state’s per diem was $8 or so more than federal per diem. And this kind of thing happens all the time…and there are often disallowed costs. Every contract/award is counted to the penny in federal financial management systems. And those systems are run by acquisition and financial assistance experts. See USASpening for more info.

These doge dolts may know how to code and mine data - but they have no idea about accounting. And they think USASpending is the extent of money tracking. And they have no idea how a large organization runs. And Elon is the ignorant know-it-all jerk at the top they idolize and emulate. And he very clearly is a marketing/spin expert and not operational at all.

I hope all of them spend time in federal jail for all the illegal actions they are taking. And there are illegal actions being taken by all the doge dolts on a daily if not hourly basis.

The people who hired them were not looking for accountants. That was the point.

Bwa ha ha. The DOGE was a joke from the get go and as soon as journalists started pointing out their obvious errors (confusing millions for billions, taking credit for contracts cancelled under Biden, etc) they started posting even less information!

An economist at the conservative Manhattan Institute can only find verifiable evidence for a mere $2 billion worth of supposed DOGE savings.

Two non partisan groups indicate that DOGE will cost the government money.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/us/politics/musk-cuts.html

Oh and DOGE has already spent at least $40 million on itself, but the admin stopped posting those details because people were asking too many questions about it.

Exactly the point. These morons couldnt find fraud, waste. and abuse.

It’s not savings - it’s sabotage.

Exactly. They are being set up.

What tools. They been told that they are super smart. They are too stupid to realize that *a lot* of super smart people work for the federal government. If they are being told massive generalizations like "there is no accountability in the system," they are being told lies, because the other smart people who built, evolved, and operate these systems fon't like "waste, fraud, and abuse either."

What tools.

I kind of understand the naivete/idiocy of the DOGE "kids" - What got me was the Fox whoring ...

Agree with other posters that they’ve been used by musk. They’ll eventually pay for it one way or another. But they are adults. Actions have consequences.

So ... you've never used AI. Otherwise you'd know how ridiculous your post sounds.

My job is leveraging so to replace manual processes, most of the work federal workers do related to forms and compliance can be replaced with AI

Do your AI programs have the same facility with the English language as do you?

When will DOGE be investigating the millions spent so that Trump can golf at his own properties? If that's not waste I don't know what is.

I'd like to see the ROI on the high tech "sleeping pods" being used by the DOGE idiots. Hey, do you think the AI can help them tell the difference between "million" and "billion?"

However, the remedy for that isn’t to burn down the house.

And if anything, the fact that DoD has been largely left alone tells you all you need to know to understand that this very clearly isn’t about eliminating waste, abuse and fraud. If it was, the headlines emerging from DoD would have your head spinning right now, that’s for sure.

Defense is where most of the waste, abuse and fraud bodies are buried. Yet, no DOGE.

Interesting.

yup..and .the whole thing with Musk and his boys is a bad scam on the American people. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!!

Doge hasn’t saved anything. Congress would have to rescind the funds for there to be savings of actually reduce funding and that hadn’t happened and probably won’t. Even Republicans are distancing themselves from these supposed $160 billion in “savings” because it’s fake news. Also doge is costing the govt massive amounts of $ for all the RIFs and early retirements. Nice going doge! What a joke.

If only somebody had told them that federal salaries make up a mere 5 percent of the federal budget. Oh well.
