Disappointed DOGE worker: "Government is not that inefficient"

[Mac1958]

Funniest stupid shit I've read on DOGE

We have Congressional Oversight and SecTreasury and until DOGE we were sending out TRILLIONS to places we couldn't audit

Any other country there would be firing squads; we're so fucking corrupt and both Parties fucked us over so much it's just, "Yeah, no biggie"

Yes, let's run smart audits to identify and rectify waste, fraud and abuse in federal government spending. No doubt such audits would find a GREAT DEAL of slop that we could clean up. I'm all for it, the sooner the better.

So, we do it like a SMART business would do it: We hire highly experienced, trained and accomplished forensic accountants who know the department they'll be covering like the back of their hand, to first prepare a standardized auditing template that can be used semi-annually or quarterly across the government.

Then those auditors will conduct full audits, gathering all pertinent information. Then all of that infomation and data are carefully organized and analyzed to identify waste, fraud and abuse.

Then a specific plan is created to implement cuts and changes based on the careful analysis, reviewed carefully, and presented to Congress with all supporting materials to discuss, find and fix problems, and approve.

Then the approved plan is carefully implemented, monitored and revised as needed going forward.

I'd estimate the whole process would take 10 to 14 months. THAT is how a SMART business would approach this.

As compared to the absolutely ridiculous, inconsistent, splashy, sloppy, massively flawed, chainsaw-waving shit show we just witnessed. But I know the flock thinks it's been real cool 'n stuff.

The Grift will continue until there are consequences

Both Parties to blame

It's a national embarrassment that DOGE uncovered so much flakey activity just by taking a look at what was going out the door

Both political Parties should be charged under RICO

Change like what most of us are envisioning, isn’t going to happen on a full scale, until the DC class is forced to do so.

we should have put together a solid and scalable audit plan utilizing people experienced in the specific area, with a tight schedule of regular audits.

In other words let's try the same failed processes that created the Federal monster and hope for a different result.

In your mind, sure. Not even close to what I actually said, so the "other words" are yours only.

Your perceptions are warped. Not my problem.

LOL that was EXACTLY what you said but feel free to "clarify". DOGE is the dream team. Have you watched any of the interviews of the team? Have you read any of their findings? You are the classic I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT TRUMP Democrat. No objectivity whatsoever.
