Department of Government Efficiency - DOGE

[InVOLuntary]

I personally don't give a flying fig who's running the show as long as they produce the results we're getting. Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck could be running the show and I'm fine with that as long as they keep revealing the corruption and mishandling of my tax dollars.

We tried bugs bunny and daffy duck the last go around.

DOGE Uncovers 90 Million Shady Transactions from Over 4 Million Government Credit Cards

Elon Musk‘s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has exposed an eye-watering level of federal spending abuse, revealing that over 4.6 million active government credit cards were used for 90 m…

Now he is going to cut up their credit cards lol.

 

[Vol since 77]

Meh, that's semantics. I don't care who takes victory laps, gets credit, etc. I just want see major cuts across every fed dept. That's to be determined, but for the first time in history waste is being exposed and I applaud that effort.

I didn't know they launched rockets in DC?

Gotta have someway to get rid of all the manure.

Isn't giving 2 billion dollars to the Catholic migrant fund kinda of a violation of the ""separation of church and state" part of the constitution?

Answers the question on how politicians get rich quick on their salary.

Burn it down, throw them all in jail, seize their assets and give them back to the American people.

how does one even get $227,000 in CC debt?

It ain't from dental work.

I would say no. Separation of church and state is one of the most misunderstood and bastardized concepts in the Constitution.

I would say no. Separation of church and state is one of the most misunderstood and bastardized concepts in the Constitution.

I understand the mis-understanding part, but with Biden being Catholic, it could seem to be an endorsement of a particular religion segment which would definitely be a violation or if another religious group asked for money for the same reasons and was turned down. Seems like very shaky ground to me.

 

[Redleg68]

By being completely and utterly irresponsible with plans to declare bankruptcy.

I would say no. Separation of church and state is one of the most misunderstood and bastardized concepts in the Constitution.

The clause is in a letter from Thomas Jefferson to a Synagogue of Jews. It isn't in the Constitution.

The Constitution forbids the "Establishment of a Religion". People don't know the First Amendment.

That's why I phrased it as "I would say no." The reason I would say no is that IMO this funding isn't promoting a specific religion. It is supporting migration.

BTW, I am 100% against this program. We should not be spending federal taxpayer money funding migration. I just don't specifically object to it because of reasons of separation of church and state.

I didn't say the terminology is used in the Constitution. Specific conceptual frameworks are in the Constitutuon. Liberals lifted the concept and then bastardized it to support their atheist views.

That's why I said it was widely misunderstood. That's no accident either. Liberals are intentionally teaching it incorrectly.

I was more wondering how she got the credit to obtain such debt. She only earned 17K salary and some side jobs, like author of romance books and something else.
I am wrong in it being just CC debt though, as it includes CC, student loans and back taxes. Don't see breakdown on just CC debt.

If they achieve the goal I referenced, why would I worry myself about any of that?

Because your sane?

Same thing

Like heat and temperature are the same thing. They aren't. One is a measure of the other. In the instance you are talking about, the only thing buoyancy has to do with it is that the vessel holding the gold can't sink.

@kiddiedoc a patient today told me when she was a child she was receiving SSI due to bipolar disorder. Can you confirm this is a thing?

If so, seems like an easy place cuts can be made. I’m open to Medicaid for children with serious illness (BPD doesn’t make my list), but SSI?

That looked normal to you?

The displacement of a liquid by an immersed solid creates an upward force proportional to the density of the liquid. That’s the buoyancy principle.

Dude

You have been on the rag about this DOGE stuff for weeks.

Of course some waste is acceptable. That's an impossible standard. Trying for no waste is probably even counterproductive. If my company's priority was to eliminate all waste, we'd never get anything done.

It’s literally been one of the primary objectives of Japanese Lean Manufacturing for the last 75 years. They never eliminate all of it, but they never stop moving onto the next most wasteful process.
