Department of Government Efficiency - DOGE

[Vol8188]

Saw an older friend of mine at the Post Office earlier today. While we waited in line for a few minutes he mentioned how his SS payment was an abnormal amount for last month. He jokingly complained about calling the SSA to find out the details. He said he was told it was a 120 min wait to talk to an agent.


High level efficiency

Pretty sure it’s always been that way

Could have just artificially inseminated 15 more 25 year olds. But Icarus had to fly too close to the sun.

A "Little" better.....

Yes, I agree. He hired loyalists who put his agenda over the country

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Gone and forgotten with little to show for it....

Damaging results in many instances

What in the agenda is at odds with the best interest of the country?

What in the agenda is at odds with the best interest of the country?

An unwillingness of EVERYONE in his administration to admit Russia started the war with Ukraine. Voting with North Korea and China in a UN resolution siding with Russia in the matter. Chaotic and incompetent tariff plan that has created a trade war. The incompetent manner in which DOGE was planned and implemented. Veteran's support cut without any real plan or foresight. Having cabinet secretaries withhold already appropriated funding in their departments, which is illegal. The list is long, Pal.

Withholding money isn’t some evil antiamerican policy. The real antiamerican policy is the idea that if you give Congress allocates x amount, the executive branch agencies must spend all of it. Even if they don’t need it.

UN resolutions are meaningless.

His trade policy is bad, but it’s dumb to pretend it’s anti American.

What cut specifically was made in regards to veterans

Lots of Republicans, for whatever weird reason that I can't figure out, have become commie Russian sympathizers. They have literally become the thing they think they stand against because they are feeble minded buffoons. Patriots my ass.

you think there is zero waste fraud and/or abuse in the SS system?

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

you think there is zero waste fraud and/or abuse in the SS system?

Absolutely there is.

SS is the biggest redistribution of wealth in American history.

My point is I can only be lied to so many times before I no longer believe someone...

Seems pretty toothless to me if this is going on.

if yourself and everyone is really concerned about the nation's debt, a military parade is not the problem . Entitlements are the problem and all SS checks/Medicare/Obamacare/snap etc should be cut in half....if people are really concerned about the debt.

They are spending $45m. I get celebrating 250 years of the army but don't think spending that much is necessary

how much for a military parade?

 

[FLVOL_79]

you think there is zero waste fraud and/or abuse in the SS system?

There is fraud, waste, and abuse everywhere, in everyones life, in everyones job. Every single one of us committed some sort of fraud, waste, or abuse today.

So yes, there is some in the SS system.

Is DOGE going to find billions in waste? Nope. Is DOGE going to find so much waste they can fix the 4 trillion that Trump is about to add to the deficit? Nope. Are they going to find some Civil War widows still getting payments? Nope. Are they gonna find some nickel and dime scams? Some folks collecting their dead mammy and pappys checks? Sure. Will it make any real difference. Nope.

It isnt THE problem. It adds to it. 100% wasted taxpayers dollars. Millions and millions wasted.

If you were truly concerned about the nations debt this would bother you as would the "entitlements" that you think are the problem (its congress spending money we dont have thats the real problem)

Defense spending is absolutely an issue and about to get much worse....
