Why to you think the Democrats are fighting the DOGE war and waste in such a horrible way?

[Bricealan]

Consider that the Democratic party has always been the party that funded those that "Needed help" i. e. Welfare, food stamps and similar programs that are, and have continually been abused and that is a well known fact.

Additionally, many Government Programs are "Make Work" programs, in other words creating jobs, that would employ those that are simply 'unemployable" by private business/ industry.

Now they attack Elon Musk, because he is the 'worlds richest man", who started/runs Tesla, and Space X both successful and profitable programs.

It should go without saying it that any effort to cut waste and fraud, within government, would be fought against by Democrats that, in all probability, were promoted and funded by the Democratic Party.

Its not the cutting waste part thats the issue... its the how they are trying to do it that is the issue. The Dems are upset over what they see as the administration trampling over the US Constitution. So far the courts seem to agree.

@Spencer10 Lets be clear, the 'Courts' have no say in how the economy is 'righted" / "corrected" or how National Debt is handled... You can bet the farm that those same courts had a hand in the corrupt individuals who wanted to keep Trump out of office

[Spencer10]

Step out of your echo chamber friend... the air is less polluted. Last I checked the USA has 3 branches of government... the Judicial is one of them.

[Bricealan]

@Spencer10 Spare me your smart ass comments,, you arrogant ass. The courts have no role in controlling Government spending...

[Spencer10]

No but they have a say on Constitutional matters... how is a Canadian knows more about how the USA government is supposed to function? Hmmmmm.

It is their waste, fraud and abuse and they don't want to give it up. We've been saying it for decades and they've been saying we're crazy. Now the world knows we were right the whole time.

Wait until Elon Musk digs around and finds out how the people in Congress are getting paid maybe $200,000/year then end up millionaires!!

A lot of waste and corruption is being exposed. Should a toilet seat cost $500 or $5 ?

[exitseven]

Because as Elon Musk and his department continue to investigate where the waste has gone in these government agencies they will find that some has ended up in their bank accounts.

[DrPepper12]

I wish him well. Just do it legally & transparently.

News flash: HE can't

[seeyounexttuesday]

Because they're getting the money laundered through these organizations.

They don't wanna bite the hand that feeds.
