Finding $236B/year after the fact in wasteful spending isn't the same as being able to cut that much moving forward. It's a moving target.



It can be reversed moving forward, no? That number would have been 500B by 2026 if Kamala has won.

If you look at the breakdown some can and some is easier found after the fact.

It's much easier to say someone was overpaid after the fact than in real time. I'm not at a computer but I think that was the largest cohort.

And why are we supposed to take this at face value? Something said by sources you don't like is crap and any source like this is the total truth?
How do you know? How do any of us know? It sounds good, but why should we believe it?

Give it time. Clearly the waste and fraud is there. It will take some time to iron out the details.

It can all be tracked and remediated with the right technology.

$2,700,000,000,000?!?

That is a breathtakingly enormous sum of money.

Some people need to start going to jail. This is beyond absurd.


That is only about seven Elon Musks.

I think Trump needs to do some prime time address the nations from the oval office with progress reports on this.

This really isn't getting reported and most voters are not hearing any of this. The 3 letter networks can't ignore it at that point. You can't have Trump say we wasted 2.7 trillion on something and then editorialize it with "well Musk is just doing Nazi stuff again and he is going to steal all your money"


THIS. I think he will, but he may be waiting to get Kash and everyone in and has people in place all over to quell any potential Democrat led domestic terrorism around the country. Once these bombs are dropped and it's officially announced in detail by Trump, their game is over.

I love how she reminds the press corps EVERY SINGLE TIME that the President is doing exactly what he said he would do and that 77M voters voted for it.

I hope the MSM in attendance winces every time she says that. I hope it stings.

When do the democrats start getting embarrassed by this?


My friend, the Dems couldn't have done all this by themselves. Those who wear Team Republican on their jerseys have been every bit as complicit in this financial fuque-fest of illegitimate spending and appropriations for DECADES. There is simply no way that only the Dems could have been involved in something the size of what we are seeing as it is being uncovered. The ones who have been there the longest simply have no excuse that would be even remotely believable were they to try to convince us that they knew nothing of this misuse of the moneys taken from American citizens and used to enrich a good portion of our elected officials and life-long bureaucrats.

As this sinks in with more and more average Joe citizens, I think you can safely invest in futures on rope and lumber as the idea of building massive gallows begins to take hold.

If it's the report posted earlier int his thread, the report is almost a year old "DOGE" didn't find anything.


Why didn't the previous administration tell us about it? Or maybe Hakim Jeffries was just about to get on this, but DOGE stole his thunder?

GTFO.

Do we have examples of Democrats "screaming" about the findings that anyone can find to post?


I can post whatever you like. HOwever, you need to clarify a few things. What screaming are you looking for? The screaming over DOGE? There is several readily available clips from press conferences outside the capital with Schumer, that twat from Connecticut, Omar, etc...

Do you mean the Dems screaming of doge findings in medicare/medicaid? Nothing yet, but as i stated earlier, i guarantee you they will be plenty like the asshat from Austin whining over the Social Security fraud being found.

Or do you mean about the left screaming over a report from a year ago? To that, i woudl ask you, why would they be whining then, if no one was doing anything about it under the Biden admin?

The last tax year I could find reported was 2021. The entire US’s federal income tax revenue for 2021 was $2.2T. Like everything collected from all Americans.

So we have been pissing away $2.7T in Medicare, which is the equivalent of an entire year of income tax revenue plus another $500 million.

This is literally your entire federal tax that you paid in 2021, plus another 20% lost by our government.
