You Have Been Had by DOGE

[okfine]

The truth about DOGE is it's not what you hear, it's what it is. All hype.

"A month into Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s much-hyped efforts to root out fraudulent and wasteful spending by government agencies, not a single instance of fraud or waste has been discovered"

"With nothing to show for its efforts to find actual fraud, it has become clear that DOGE is simply a way for Trump and Musk to arbitrarily cancel programs they don’t like in lieu of having to negotiate with Congress on spending priorities and government policies. This is likely a violation of the Impoundment Control Act of 1974. But it’s more than that: DOGE is now the enforcement arm of a Trump administration that has no interest in working with Congress to implement its policy priorities"

Despite the hype, DOGE hasn't found a shred of fraud

All they've really got is "spending that Elon Musk doesn't like."

There might not have been any intentional fraud. . . but I have seen even folks on the left admit to waste and abuse.

Not in that feeble mind of yours, right?

I have a feeling there is plenty of intentional fraud.

 

[MisterBeale]

I have a feeling there is plenty of intentional fraud.

I agree, but the OP is correct so far. There has been no instance of fraud that has been referred to the courts.

They show the receipts of fraud daily. Fraud is rampant, and we voted for Trump to stop the hemorrhaging. And he is.
In fact, I think Stacy Abrams needs to give us back our 2 billion dollar gift that Biden gave her.

Give it time.

Plenty of waste has been found, as well as plenty of terrible accounting practices.

Not too dissimilar to what Biden did with funds for border security.

It matters little.

The administrative branch is the purview of the executive.


Until, and unless, the administrative branch can be proved in court to be in some violation of some law. . .

'Elections have consequences': Does Obama regret saying that now?

What do politicians mean when they say 'elections have consequences'? Often, they're saying that their party just won an election and they want their way – but the pronouncement can come back to bite.

". . Mr. Obama was later quoted as telling GOP leaders that “elections have consequences,” and, in case there was any doubt, “I won.”

Of course, waste and fraud and abuse exists.

The question is to make sure that "making the wealthy wealthier" is not part of the solution.

the wealthy will always get wealthier.

That's what wealth does.

You are just OK with your side's middle managers getting wealth via taxes.

Musk’s DOGE says it has saved $55 billion. Not so fast. $0

great little snippets to wrap ones mind around the Yuge Scam:

Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service claimed this week to have saved an estimated $55 billion through...But a list that it posted of contracts and leases suggests that number is inflated.

DOGE has pledged to...

On its website, DOGE — which stands for Department of Government Efficiency — lists a select group of 1,125 contracts it has canceled...contract savings account for just 20 percent of total savings from the past month, the office says.

Yet a Washington Post analysis of the contract data found that many of the canceled contracts were already complete, meaning canceling them didn’t yield any money back because they had been fully paid out — and indeed, 417 of the deals on DOGE’s list indicate that they saved $0. Another 51 added up to savings of just under $1 million.

...

The largest one addressed the cost of a terminated service-disabled veteran-owned management consultant contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. ...the most recent version of the contract listed $8 million, which was earlier reported by the New York Times. The DOGE site listed...

In more than 80 other instances, the DOGE site lists and links to older, modified versions of contracts on the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS), according to a Post analysis. Experts said this could make the overall savings estimate inaccurate.

Right. Because some of us know that the Republicans Are Once Again Trying To Sabotage Social Security Programs Desperately Needed By Elderly, Poor and Disabled.
