Dear conservative republicans;
The real government waste isn’t the social, research, or effective* environmental programs. It’s the bloated loopholed taxcode, the MIC, the revolving doors, the thousand dollar trashcans, the no-bid contracts, the croissant-like layers of middlemen, the labyrinthine beauroccracy of means-testing that costs more than it saves, and the reluctance to directly employ and retain skilled labor for public projects.
Poor black brown and gay people aren’t ruining your country. Monied interests are, and they’re using you to do it. (dems also but not the subject of this post)
this needs to be addressed to the republican voters
the republicans in office already know all this and don’t care
The conservative voters are too obsessed over ridiculous “issues” like “men in women’s sports”.
Since the MAGAts started electing themselves, I kinda doubt it actually.
The amount of money that’s been wasted over DOGE is likely in the trillions…
Like, there’s $5 upkeep to prevent a $5k problem.
DOGE would cut upkeep, and if that $5 trickled thru multiple agencies they counted it everytime.
Agency 1 pays 2, pays 3; same $5, they cancel and claim to have saved $15.
Then be cause no upkeep was done, we gotta pay $5k to fix the problem, and if we still don’t do upkeep, we’ll need to pay 5k again, and again, and again
Even once we start doing “upkeep” again, it’s going to be more expensive.
And the consequences for those involved?
At the very least there should be an investigation as to how this data was developed, so that we can avoid making this ‘mistake’ in the future. Right?..
Strongly worded letters going out any day now.
Didn’t we know this was the case like right as they posted it? I remember they even had to change shit on the website because people were pointing it out how unrealistic it was.
Yes, for sure. Immediately.
I was on a $9M research contract that was cancelled by DOGE. Their website listed that contract as $9M saved. The problem? We were nearly done with the work. We had spent $8M.
The remaining $1M of work was data review, publishing findings, and preparing public datasets and documentation.
So they only “saved” $1M. But really, they lost $8M because at contract end we were instructed to destroy all the collected data and the government ended up with basically nothing. So that work and those findings will never see the light of day.
Cancelling that contract at that point was the work of fucking idiots.
That’s just one story. The DOGE website has thousands of cancelled contracts listed.
I know why the news is running stories likes this… but, Why isn’t the new running stories like this?!! It’s scandalous but in a sfw way you can gossip around the water cooler about, and easy to understand.
Ugh. I hate this reality.
Well to be fair to the pieces of shit, they didn’t write anything and probably only read half of what their Ai shat out.
Not even just unrealistic, if I recall it regularly was posting the same handful of things multiple times
Elon forgot to write “up to” before his savings numbers. Rookie mistake. Dude needs more time in a mattress store.
He needs more time in a dank, dark dungeon.

You mean the richest piece of shit on the planet is a corrupt liar? It can’t be so!
What a fucking asshat.
“In addition, when government data are not reliable, it can hinder the public’s trust in government,” the report stated.
Theat was the whole point, though. If enough voters don’t trust government, they will give Republicans permission to shrink it so small they can drown it in the bathtub.
They’re just saying that. They won’t shrink it, they need the government to control everyone and remove the undesirables.
And looking at the finances of a State only through expenses and revenues is completely missing the point (on purpose here obviously).
Tangential, but It looks like musk and kim jong un, go to the same barber/hair-transplanter.
Shocked.
