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.

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.

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?

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.

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

It’s not savings - it’s sabotage.
