Is Doge actually working (no)?

[OddBeMe]

Despite adding extra zeroes to the reports of cuts, Trump may well outspend Biden. And prob help fewer Americans. Irony.

[loveslongnails]

DOGE is a disgrace. Besides lying about the numbers, and I DO mean outright lying, and firing people without ANY understanding of what they do, Musk is lining his pockets by eliminating competition for Federal contracts. Trump is complicit, as are those connected to P-2025, and a few Democrats as well, believe it or not!

It's been less than 100 days. The full effects of America's agriculture losing their workforce, joblessness, tariff's or reduced trade and the pending housing/stock market collapse, haven't hit home yet. When they do and maga nation finally feels the financial destruction, there will be anger, chaos and unrest. That's when Martial Law will be imposed and things will go from really bad to even worse.

If you believe in prayer, pray that the GOP and P-2025'ers lose all special elections and control of the House. It will slow things down enough to make it to 2026 mid-term elections and give people a "chance" to fix things, at least for a while.

Its Not working and has been oroven to be false by multiple sources, and is Completely illegal. Anyone who supports this has never cracked open a history book, or is just to stupid to realize whats going on. Now don’t get me wrong I lean more conservative than liberal but holy cow is this just a blatant attempt to dismantle the us governments authority, and it extends to the non political sections of the government. Its an attempt to make a hostile take over of the government, including a potential coup to the current president as well.

[OddBeMe]

Precisely

[Sevenpointfive]

a coup by who?

[OddBeMe]

@Sevenpointfive Jan 6ers tried. Could happen

[Sevenpointfive]

i'm really disappointed in that answer. and i'm a little confused on who you're referring to. who are j6ers? the tiny huddle that ran over some security guards? or some other group?

[exitseven]

If Trump is spending more it is the fault of all these out of control judges that are preventing him to make the cuts we need. I highly doubt that this is from a credible source.

DOGE is doing exactly what President Trump promised he would do. It is rooting out waste and corruption and purge the government of DEI initiatives. Every day the dept uncovers another outrageous waste of taxpayer money. Elon it classified as a temporary worker which means he can only work for 130 days. His goal in to cut a trillion dollars of waste by then.

Between cutting the budget and all the tariffs we will collect President Trump should be able to pay down some of the debt.

[OddBeMe]

Now is this coming from an analytical thought process or an emotional response?

[exitseven]

both probably. It is a combination of what happened in his first term and what is going on now. Also knowing that both President Trump and Elon Musk both have impressive records of success.

[DrPepper12]

Trump's not spending shit. It's still Bidens FY.

PAy down some debt? My God man wake up!!

[exitseven]

@DrPepper12 This needs to be done or else taxes have to go up, more money is printed making inflation worse, or else the debt just gets bigger along with the interest paid on the debt.

[DryGermanGuy]

They cut something minor for 8 million dollars and then claim it was 8 billion. Really heroic. Not to mention the irreparable damage some of these cuts will do. 🤦‍♂️

[Manwomanmythmale]

After firing he had to rehire everyone and they get backpay because they were illegally fired which is coming out of the taxpayers dime. He is causing more waste.

[DryGermanGuy]

Yeah, another good point. The gift that keeps on giving!

[OddBeMe]

@Manwomanmythmale that snoulda got more rebuke from the media.

[WindAtMyBack]

The fiscal year is not the calendar year. It begins in October. So we are currently on the 118th Congress / Biden budget. As of today, the first half of that budget just ended. We will still be on that budget for six more months.

We will not be on a 119th Congress / Trump budget until October of this year.

[genericname85]

who cares. the best doge can ever hope to do in a unrealistic utopic version of the future is safe money that is equivalent to like 10% of what the usa pays on national debt interest alone every year. it will not improve the us economy. it will at best slow down the inevitable bankruptcy.

what it realisticly probably will do is: remove everyone working in favor Elons competition from their offices.

[Filthy_Immigrant]

Are you seriously trying to compare Trump’s spending to Biden’s economic dumpster fire? Trump’s spending was tied to COVID and rebuilding the military. Biden has racked up more debt than any president in history—$6 trillion+—with NOTHING to show for it but inflation, open borders, and a broken economy. Stop parroting MSNBC garbage and start looking at facts... if you can that is

[Dargil]

Far better than any one could ever expect. DOGE will go a great distance to drying out the Democrat Swamp. if you don't want cockroaches, stop feeding them.

[OddBeMe]

Checking the “swamp”…pretty sure repubs are equally guilty. If not more so. Hence the scotus aholes

[Dargil]

Which Is why what Musk is doing is such a great idea. Sooner or later, he's going to catch one of us with our pants down and let the media have at us. The slime balls that had that slush fund to pay off women that Legislators fiddled with probably was tapped into by Republicans as well. Go get em. It won't bother me in the slightest if he exposes a few Rinos. And even a few hot heads.

[Fireguy17]

it will give it time, it's only been a couple 2 3 months.

[OddBeMe]

And already they’ve forged nearly every amount they claimed to have saved. Why?

[exitseven]

they have already uncovered 130 billion. They have not started on the Pentagon

[OddBeMe]

@exitseven please provide that proof. I’ll wait.

[exitseven]

it is now up to 140 billion

[Fireguy17]

@exitseven some people just have a hard time accepting that something good is coming out of this because then they would have to admit that they and their coveted anti Trump news sites are wrong.
So let them alone with their beliefs and like a child having a tantrum leave them alone.
Life is too short.

[OddBeMe]

So many zeroes have been proven out of place. They called a $10,000 natiional parks survey 1b. Such a loser

[exitseven]

Is there any proof of that?

[OddBeMe]

www.cbsnews.com/.../

[DrPepper12]

No. It's a cancer.

[Toddzen]

Musk is a definitely a Narcissist Sociopath.. People think that I am joking. No. He hates the Poor. He calls them Parasites on X. He wants to hurt people because he's sick. He's a real Nazi. Nazis hate people. They kill people.

[seeyounexttuesday]

Can you pick something to be upset about? Either Elon is stealing SS from your grandma or he isn’t.

[OddBeMe]

Oh he's trying to. This isn't logically incoherent. Like morons they thought they'd find 8 billion dollar wome projects to cut. Now to simply save e face theyre trying to cut SS.

[seeyounexttuesday]

The richest man in the world is going to steal your grandma’s 50k. That’s what you’re going with? Stopping fraud isn’t a “cut” moron.

[OddBeMe]

Yes because THEY pay the govt. And the dont want the govt to exist.

Did you read elon is opening a Twitter crypto bank? And lo and behold he's trying to cut the regulating agencies bed be dealing with that protect yiu and me

[Twalli]

DOGE should have the same power that I do. We both went through the sane Congressional screening.

[SmokinAces2000]

I haven’t seen anything that Indicates that it is

[OddBeMe]

Quite a lot to dispute it actually. I wonder how much money goes into doge just for them to forge how much they’ve apparently saved…

[FunkyMonkee]

DOGE is actually working (yes)!

[OddBeMe]

Provide proof. I'll wait

[FunkyMonkee]

But, you won't bother looking for any when it's all over the place?

[Anonymous]

You are the queen of confirmation bias.
