Plus DOGE published that their biggest cost reduction was 8 billion, but turns out it was, I shit you not, $8,000,000.00
And this is the people that are gonna let manage the treasury.
Its even more egregious.
So far, doge claims it saved 45 billion on its website. When you add up the actual reciepts posted, it's 16 billion. Of that 16 billion, half is this false 8 billion, which is 8 million, with 2.5 million already paid out, so actually just 5.5 million.
So even by their records, which are not trustworthy, they may have cut 8 billion. The 100 billion number? Just something Charlie kirk made up. No other hard data at all.

When your face is that small, everything else looks much bigger.
How are these people brazillionaires and I'm schlepping away to not get my home taken off me by the bank? I can string a sentence together and do basic arithmetic, and I can count to twenty without taking off my shoes!
Hey, I lost a lot of weight by removing my limbs!
So for the first leg you chop off, your BMI goes down. With the second one, it goes up significantly. Only chop off one leg.
One leg and one arm though. The ideal body is very narrow lol
Instructions unclear, I now don’t have a head.
Loose 12lbs instantly!
...by chopping off your arm!
Doctors hate this one weird trick!
Plus, you got a really cute nickname! Torso Boy!
I saved about $80,000 by not buying a Cybertruck!
But then you don't get to lose fingers or burn to death.
Damn. Well that's a chance I'll just have to take..
You can "save" a bunch of money by not paying the Fire Department. It'll look great on a budget, and then you can enjoy the beautiful skyline of your city burning!
This is what they're doing, but with literally everything.
The country is going to implode.
Is that what happened with the forest fires?
There is a degree to which wild fires could be solved "just" by ramping up land management significantly to remove invasive species, remove dead growth and overgrowth, etc.
The wildfires have been so bad primarily because of invasive species changing what grows where and breaking down natural fire protections, combined with climate change and reduced natural wildfires creating higher fire risk conditions
It reminds me of sim city budget.
and then you can enjoy the beautiful skyline of your city burning!
But how could I? Especially without firemen to start the glow.
Hard to enjoy when the air quality is so bad that you can't even breath outside lol
Always ask: saved, for what? The money is appropriated by congress. You're actively working to cut services and programs, not eliminating fraud, waste, or abuse in any way. Not that you'd know, because you already fired the people who track fraud, waste, and abuse for identifying your violations, repeatedly.
Social programs are profitable, it costs more to take care of a problem than to prevent it.
I wish there was enough time to sit each of these troglodytes down and teach them the world from kindergarten and up. It clearly didn't take the first time.
Why not one trillion? I mean shit, we're gonna need 4.5 trillion to offset the giveaway to the billionaires. 100 billion is rookie numbers.
Is this how nazi Germany started? Cutting all "unnecessary" projects and personnel then introducing "necessary" projects and personnel that they control...
Did they? Do you have any sources? Because I did a quick search and couldn't find anything about it (though I'll admit I did not invest too much time into that search)
The Nazi regime did lots of shitty things over half a century ago. The Trump administration does lots of shitty things right now. There is an overlap - but this Venn diagram is not a circle.
Watch, they'll cut everything and then they'll somehow blame the dems for mistreating Veterans, causing huge epidemics, planes falling out of the skies, children dying, instigating genocides, and wars
All it cost was two airplane-fulls of people and hundreds of peoples' livelihoods, among other things.
If your premise is "The government does nothing beneficial" then cutting it makes sense 100% of the time. I wish Elon would take some time to check out Chesterton's fence. I'll deliberately not link that here to frustrate readers.

If i could read, I'd be very upset.
