[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do we keep going back on forth with these dumb people? We are wasting our breath. Musk knows nothing. He doesn't even understand what he sees. He is just pushing what he believes. He is a conspiracy theorist. [/quote]

Because your huge egos won't allow you not to. You want to prove to yourself how smart you are, no matter how many times you get stymied in the process.[/quote]

No. That’s not it. It’s an ill-founded hope that people want to the best for our country and are just not understanding the significant damage musk is doing.

[/quote]

Millions of us don’t believe that shining daylight on the corrupt things our hard earned money is being spent on is “significant damage.”   Quite the contrary, actually.

It is fun watching democrats defend the corruption.  [/quote]

Everything that Musk has “shone a light on” was published. You could have been researching how federal dollars are being spent for decades. And an expenditure or grant is not corrupt just because a taxpayer doesn’t like it.

Unfortunately I think you’re arguing in bad faith. You are happy that people’s lives are being upended because you happen to think life has treated you unfairly in some way. [/quote]

Stop with the gaslighting and start citing facts

What do you mean?  You’ll have to make a point. Doesn’t have to be sophisticated or erudite. Simple sentences will do. [/quote]

disinformation about USAID has been manufactured and dissemenated on social media platforms, particularly X/twitter. Those lies have then been parroted by elected officials who know better as well as reposted here. In order to do an analysis of a budget, you need forensic accountants, not a merry band of hackers. The whole premise of DOGE is a lie and the sooner people understand that, the better.[/quote]

Is the premise of DOGE to stop govt fraud, waste, inefficiencies?

Like the unused commercial real estate all over DC? And the [b]bloated USAID with negative ROI and big overhead rate (ie exists to pay itself)[/b]. And other dept that pay themselves to redo the same work every few years to no results? Ie common core curricula bonanza[/quote]

Government services expect an ROI?

really?
What is the ROI for the US Postal Service? Or should we just cut it off and let most of rural America rot?[/quote]

Usps should have gone bankrupt 15 years ago. 
It’s essentially a union pension retiree shop that delivers mail on the side. [/quote]
Well said.[/quote]
