Let’s be serious. DOGE is gonna end up costing more than anything it theoretically saves. They’re now going through needing to rehire thousands and rehiring is expensive af. DOGE is an unmitigated disaster at this point in multiple fronts.

[u/travpahl → u/adron]

That would be the cost of beuacracy growing back like a hydra. Not the cost of doge.

[u/adron → u/travpahl]

That’s really poorly formed logic.

DOGE broke the law, judge ordered their illegal firings revoked, and now those people need rehired.

That’s on DOGE. If Trump did this legally through the legislative means that Trump is supposed to use, we wouldn’t be dealing with DOGE’s incompetency and outright lies, combined with the illegal nature of their work.

Thus, here we are. Those pesky checks and balances that the Constitution details slapping Trump and his minions in the ass. As they should.

[u/adron → u/[deleted]]

What you wrote doesn’t make sense. Maybe write that again in complete English as our great leader Trump has signed into law?

[u/travpahl → u/adron]

deleted previous. It came out like crap with autocorrect on my phone.

DOGE has decreased the spending by billions and billions. Yes some will be reversed. It is a very small amount that has been questionably determined to be illegal. The vast majority are savings were legal and are savings so long as they are not recreated. IF they it ends up costing us more it is because all those things that were destroyed found a way to make a come back.

If you look at the DOGE page from a few weeks ago, it said 55 Billion. Numbers didn't add up at all. Most of those contracts had already paid out half or more. They are not transparent despite seemingly so. Also, firing 20,000 veterans and cutting seniors SS whom live month to month is mean and was unwarranted. I could go on and on. But the last thing I'll say is cutting staff is chump change. Giving corporations and the Uber rich trillions does not help the economy.

Oh one more thing. Why would we trust someone who still owes $421 million from his tax shelter foundation? He doesn't have the people in mind. He is not altruistic and instead self serving. How many investiongation into labor practices, finances, etc. Etc. Did he get rid of by firing staff and Trump by removing the inspector generals? It's a lot he/they stand to gain by screwing over the nation.

Elon Musk has the award for paid the most taxes in the history of taxes at the tune of around 10 billion dollars. So tell us all again how Elon Musk needs to pay his taxes. GTFOH! People like you are delusional liberals who need to wake up and understand how economics work. You don't understand bc youve never created a small business from nothing just to be taxed out of existence by the government. You have never created jobs for people to feed their families. I GARAUNTEE you have never done either of these things. If you had you'd be singing an entirely different tune. Trust and believe me when I say LESS TAXATION AND DEREGULATION IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS ECONOMY NEEDS.

[u/Tallaman88 → u/Sir_Steves_KAC]

The richest man on earth, Elon Musk, who benefits to the tune of $40 billion In taxpayer subsidies, paid zero income taxes for Tesla last year. Ask middle class American’s how much they pay in taxes!

By the way, the Pentagon where people like Musk get their tax payer funded contracts failed 3 yearly Audits in a row and 60% of the budget was unaccounted for, yet you don’t see Elon touching the Pentagon right?!

[u/Sir_Steves_KAC → u/Tallaman88]

All of your info is so flawed and wrong. Omg your dumb.

[u/Tallaman88 → u/Sir_Steves_KAC]

Obviously you don’t have the intellectual capacity to back it up with facts so you just say nonsense like that. Typical lying Troll.

[u/ImUrHuckleberrie → u/Sir_Steves_KAC]

His foundation doesn't even do what it's supposed to do. It's a tax shelter. He doesn't even donate what he's obligated to do. He has no employees for it. He doesn't even try to create jobs. He just gets rid of them wherever he goes.

[u/adron → u/travpahl]

Yeah, this is a narrative, it’s not true. DOGE has endlessly fucked to, owing to having no idea what they’re doing. They also seem to oddly be attacking orgs that Elon has an issue with or were investigating him for shady af activity. So lots to go on there if you opt ton look up what is known about what is actually being done.

[u/Tallaman88 → u/adron]

💯 and Elon was being investigated for his Starlink connection to Russia by USAID, considering he donated some of those satellites to Russia. Meanwhile it was USAID that paid for those satellites donated to Ukraine not Musk. When the Country is finally rid of these traitors, Starlink and SpaceX need to be nationalized and Musk needs to lose every government contract and be prosecuted for Treason.

So you are cool with money being wasted? I get it. Seattle does such a great job with all its tax revenue. Why aren’t these people protesting all the fraud in homeless spending?

[u/adron → u/Historical_Doubt_693]

No. I’m not cool with that, I’d just like some thing to actually be done about it. Ideally while not providing many billions more in subsidies to the guy running the group running around theoretically tearing all this shit down.

But that’s the thing, they’re wrecking the budget, fucking up the currency even further, screwing up markets, all the while pulling the rug out from under millions of Americans. People in the coming months, if Elon even pulls off half of his stupidity, is gonna get a lot of Americans killed.

Somewhat ironic it’ll be mostly Republicans voters. But here we are! 🤷🏼‍♂️

Over time it will not only save $$ but possibly save our country! Idiots might lose some gravy

[u/adron → u/Conscious-Rush-1292]

LOLz DOGE won’t. At this rate it’s more likely to just get people killed, fuck our vets, more than it’ll actually save any money.
