Musk says DOGE to save $150B in fiscal 2026, down from earlier $1T view​

MSN

He was only off by $850B. Okay, so he's a better engineer than financial prognosticator. I'm sure the number would be bigger if not for all those annoying "activist judges" getting in the way by enforcing the law.

$150Bn? Maybe over 50 years. Its just an excuse for the planned billionaire tax cuts.

They could have done this right. With real audits, real planning, smart execution.

Instead, like everything else, they went full caveman.

What a fucking wasted opportunity.

He also sucks at Path of Exile 2

I hadn't thought of it but now that the savings will be so much lower it will make the upcoming tax cut for the rich all the more difficult to justify.

Trump, since he is president and promised to pay off the debt.

Deficits don't matter. -Trump.

An insolvent nation is going to lead to war everywhere. 10s of millions dead

In politics they all exaggerate. Only the naive take these folks at their word.

DOGE was always going to just be window dressing to gin up the minions. Meaningful savings will only come by addressing Medicare/caid, defense spending, and SS.

It wasn't about results. It was about theater.

That 150 billion claim is falling everyday.

They could have done it the way you promote. Well, where are the Progressives with their ideas at? Sanders is out there spewing statements that just a few years ago he supported. And as for taxes. Progs had the chance to raise taxes on the rich and corporations to 90% if they wanted to. They did not. Answer this. Answer this. Answer this. Frauds!

It was never going to be the deficit altering wet dream sold to the rubes. But at least it could have been efficient. Instead we got the kind of chaos that's the hallmark of trumpery.

 

[Meister]

WTF, it's only our tax dollars, we should just let the politicians use it to
line their wallets with the green bills.
Who gives a fuck, right?

No it is because he can only occupy that special government employee position for 130 days per year.

Then the trade war.and global tariffs are more important than ever. You have no choice, you are going bankrupt. Trillions stolen over the years no doubt.
