Department of Government Efficiency - DOGE

[C-south]

If we are going down medical route, I would jump into Medicare and Medicaid first. They are something like 60% of our total Federal Budget combined. They are by far the biggest budgets. Makes USAID look like pocket change.

Not sure if there is any fraud, waste, etc. there but it is definitely the big spending impact.

If they’re going after fraud there they better make sure it’s actual fraud.

Exactly. Talk about making cuts and lowering the debt. Go after federal employees which is a smokescreen while they pass budgets that bloat the deficit even more.

Bureaucratic/msm taint!!!

Republicans have the house, the senate and the presidency. It's time to put their money where their mouth is. Instead we're digging deeper into debt and increasing defense spending.

The Senate - To A Point - but yes, it's put up or shut up time.

You also got efficiency/waste. In fact, you are more likely to have savings using that route than by fraud.

Yeah, he goes to insults pretty quick. It is funny to see how much he cares about protecting veterans which also happens to protect his team's/company's contracts. Even if he is sincere, it still just looks like the old NIMBY reactions aka cuts are good everywhere that don't directly affect me.

He's right, I am an idiot. He's not getting his info from a bureaucrat, he is the bureaucrat.

They are putting their money where their mouth is.

The issue is the money is from Palantir, Northrup, Lockheed, Boeing, RTX, etc....

I'd like you to publicly share my GS level and position, then, o wise "intellengent" one.

It just takes time to address DoD spending, my friend.

Job slashing and $$$ cutting is supposed to be the change after the audit. A product of the results. This ain't a damn reality TV show. It's disasterous with this hastily schemed process. The conclusions and accusations are ridiculously immature and incompetent.

BTW, Musk has no expertise at this. He's never done it before. Plus, the insane conflict of interest with him driving it

Nobody else has done it either. That's why we have trillions in debt.

I'm at least willing to give them a chance. Hopefully they can shut down some of the useless bureaucracies that are strangling us

You need to tell my Palantir stock then.
