Department of Government Efficiency - DOGE

[SpaceCoastVol]

So you agree, we already know of this and don't need the fake DOGE gimmick to repeat it.

It's all about exposing those in Congress that vote for it. Vivek and Elon are using a really big bull horn. It's a good thing. I don't know what your beef is.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

If it ended there, that would be fine. But it won't. There will be circus, show-hearings, in 2026, and that costs taxpayers money.

So then you are fine with doing nothing and letting this bloated government continue to feast the blood of the taxpayers? Of course you are. You're a Democrat.

And I didn't see you complaining about the kangaroo courts that popped up every other month trying to put Trump in jail. How much did that **** cost?

It's laughable that you think anything real will come of this. It's pure theater, and you know it.

It’s laughable but not near as laughable as you thinking anything would come out of The Muell’s witch hunt and I never heard you complaining about how much that fiasco cost the taxpayers.



But that was back when you were a Democrat.

They cut the last POS legislation from 1500 pages down to 180 (I think). I would say that was a pretty good start.

"Less paper good" is the kind of surface-level stuff that appeals to the lowest common denominator without actually helping (aka theater)

its simple...all bills should be stand alone...

Yes let's spend way more time passing way more bills to accomplish the same objectives. This is efficiency

 

[hog88]

Congressmen don't get paid overtime, maybe they'd pass less crap if each bill stood on it's own.

Maybe Congress could get less done, this is efficiency

Now you're getting it.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Yes let's spend way more time passing way more bills to accomplish the same objectives. This is efficiency

No there would be a lot less pork getting passed

 

[NashVol11]

No there would be a lot less pork getting passed

Spending the same amount of time to accomplish less, efficiency

 

[SlipKidVol]

Yes let's spend way more time passing way more bills to accomplish the same objectives. This is efficiency

its not more, same amount spread out..why have a bill so big no one can read it, unless or course you want to pack in the pork

 

[SlipKidVol]

Spending the same amount of time to accomplish less, efficiency

this is simply a lazy answer

 

[NashVol11]

its not more, same amount spread out..

It's either more time spent or less work getting done in the same amount of time, there's no way around that really

He loves government

Work? Seriously? It's that what you call spending more than you take in decade after decade?

Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Let it all be seen, one bill at a time. And like @hog88 said, they might think more about what they are doing since they don't get overtime. And as an added bonus, they will have to prioritize what they are doing.

Nah. It's a good thing no matter how much you think otherwise.

I understand the small government perspective, but requiring each piece of a large bill to be separately discussed, passed, etc. as a standalone is by definition making Congress less efficient. Wanting Congress to do less is fine but don't act like it's an efficiency thing

 

[hog88]

We want them to accomplish less.

 

[NashVol11]

That's fine, it is also the opposite of efficiency definitionally

So then you believe that all 1500+ pages of that monstrosity were necessary and good law.

 

[hog88]

I’m fine with that, the only thing congress can do efficiently is spend our money.
