Your tax dollars at work?

[Dargil]

Here's what Musk and his DOGE whiz kids found.

-- $22 billion from HHS to for free housing and cars for illegal aliens;
-- $101 million for DEI contracts at the Department of Education;
-- $45 million for DEI in Burma;
-- $40 million to improve the social and economic inclusion for sedentary migrants;
-- $8 million for LGBTQI+ promotion in Lesotho;
-- $60 million for Indigenous peoples and Afro-Caribbean empowerment in Central America;
-- $8 million for making mice transgender;
-- $32 million for left-wing propaganda in Moldova;
-- $10 million for male circumcision in Mozambique;
-- $20 million for Arab "Sesame Street" in the Middle East;
-- $59 million for illegal alien hotel rooms in NYC;
-- $14 million for social cohesion in Mali;
-- $42 million for social and behavioral change in Uganda;
-- $14 million for improving public procurement in Serbia; and $47 million for improving learning outcomes in Asia.

That's over $68,000 for every person in America. Mow many gallons of gas it eggs could you buy with that? Then there's all those Social Security recipients over age 120. Ain't that special?

Paying fraction of penny's into dollar investment to avoid radical terrorism, then turning other country's into growing potential new markets of economic growth.

For centuries with technology booms also grew domestic population wise with huge immigration to sustain that boom. Usa while better off is population wise the only growth is from immigration to sustain the economic growth to sustain stocks from crashing down.

So like I said fraction of a fraction of penny's to dollar investment to maintain our economic growth. The same exact method China did but authoritarian government. We good Americans like democracy. Democracies like other Democracies.

This is the difference between only eating soybeans and corn for every meal like other country's eat beans and rice.

Why state such EASILY DISPROVABLE LIES?

In 2023, the total U. S. federal budget was $6.1 trillion, which translates to approximately $18,300 per person based on the U. S. population. In 2022, the federal government spent $6.48 trillion, averaging $19,434 per person.

WHY? DO YOU NOT CHECK? DO YOU NOT KNOW? EMBARRASSING!

Not even a SOURCE for the lies!!

Where are all the indictments for this waste fraud and abuse?

[SolitarySolace]

@DrPepper12, you’re right to call for sources—but let’s not pretend that you’re a beacon of truth yourself. You dismiss Dargil’s claims as ‘easily disprovable lies’ without providing any evidence to counter them. Instead, you rely on emotional outrage and condescension, as if that alone proves your point.

Your numbers on the federal budget are misleading. Yes, the U. S. spent $6.1 trillion in 2023, but that doesn’t refute concerns about where the money is allocated. The issue isn’t the total amount spent—it’s how taxpayer dollars are being used. Billions of dollars go to programs that many Americans never approved of, yet we’re expected to foot the bill. Dismissing those concerns with all-caps rants and insults doesn’t make them disappear.

If you actually care about transparency, let’s apply that same scrutiny across the board. Or is it only ‘fraud and abuse’ when it doesn’t align with your worldview?

Congress is not a proxy for the people? Eva. Please

[SolitarySolace]

Congress is supposed to represent the people, but in reality, it often serves special interests, lobbyists, and corporate donors more than the average citizen. If Congress truly acted as a direct proxy for the people, we wouldn’t see so many policies and budget decisions that the public overwhelmingly disagrees with. The question isn’t whether Congress is technically a representative body—it’s whether it effectively represents the will of the people rather than its own political and financial interests. If you believe Congress is a perfect proxy, then explain why so many Americans feel unrepresented by their elected officials.

There is no such thing as a perfect proxy by definition!! To answer your question, it's fundraising corruption. Public campaign finance would fix that

[SolitarySolace]

@DrPepper12, I agree that no system is a perfect proxy, but acknowledging that doesn’t mean we should accept the status quo. You point to fundraising corruption as the issue, and while public campaign finance might help, it doesn’t address the deeper problem—politicians serving corporate donors and special interests over their actual constituents. Without structural changes that enforce accountability and transparency, simply altering how campaigns are funded wouldn’t stop lawmakers from prioritizing those with money and influence over the will of the people.

The real question is: If Congress isn’t effectively representing the people now, what other changes need to happen beyond campaign finance reform?

Any claims of theirs are complete bullshit.

They've just been forced to admit they are a federal entity after all. And because our info as Americans belong to us, they are being forced now to share what they are doing with our information.
Because they have no reporting system in place. And they must be experiencing a "holy shit" accountability moment. It will be interesting how people requesting this information will play out.

I doubt they shared this info on fox

I guess the cult still believe in the transgender mice nonsense no matter how many people correct it lol. Cults are amazing.

[Dargil]

We are.

[DryGermanGuy]

The stupid babble about transgender mice (it's transgenic, which is part of regular research) is about as intelligent as the stories of 150 year olds receiving benefits, give or take.

[SolitarySolace]

The claim that transgender mice experiments were a hoax is incorrect. Under the Biden administration, the National Institutes of Health allocated over $8 million in taxpayer-funded grants for studies related to gender-affirming hormone therapy in mice. These studies included research on reproductive consequences, hormone therapy effects, and gender-related influences on asthma. This is publicly documented and was even acknowledged by the White House. Whether one supports or opposes this use of taxpayer funds, the fact remains that it happened.

People in Asia are already more educated than most Americans. The math bee is always won by the Chinese team and the "American" team that gets second place always has 4 or 5 Chinese American migrants on it.

[exitseven]

The website is doge. gov it has updated info on what doge has uncovered.

[DrPepper12]

Big stretch to call what's there "info"

[exitseven]

@DrPepper12 did you look at it? Not just the savings but some of the other topics on the website. Elon and his DOGE is killing it.

[Anonymous]

Bottom line, the government has been riddled with fraud, waste and abuse, and it's being rooted out, exposed and fixed, thanks to Trump.

[Anonymous]

Why would illegally immigrants get any of the money?

[BonzoInBitburg]

Did they include the expenses from lawsuits?

[Grond21]

Proof that the trans mice claim was true

[Dargil]

Proof that they aren't

[Grond21]

I hate this app sometimes. I literally posted a bunch of the studies proving it was true and the first line was just for context. Apparently it only kept the first line
