You’re repeating a Reddit talking point for the sake of not having to be supportive of something trump has done

You would gain credibility here by not being obtuse at every turn

Why block it if it's just virtue signaling at best?

No, it isn't. It's a significant amount of money. This frivolous attitude about government spending is one of the reasons we are in this situation in the first place.

No one is saying stop with that, well not on the MAGA team. We can hope it's just the beginning. DOGE is a useful tool for shining a light on the waste and potential corruption, and riles up the base to try to affect change. Congress won't do shite if people don't force them to, so the outcry for actual spending cuts has to be very very high.

He acts as if The same old crooks are going to suddenly look under a pillow and see a $3 trillion dollar error for this year alone! These issues are made up of billions here and billions there which is made up of millions here and millions there...

SFP is calling it a nothingburger because he wants to discredit DOGE efforts in identifying WF&A and is illustrative that he really is disingenuous about congressional spending cuts.

Wouldn't know. I don't go on Reddit.

I've been banging this drum since the Obama admin when Reddit had almost no presence online.

Then why all of the angst from democrats? Calling for violence in the streets and telling Elon to take his moo moo hands off of their money. All over a "rounding error"? Seems a little suspicious.

When the trial happens and an order is issued, we can answer that question (from the perspective of the judge).

A lot of angst from the judicial branch too for just a rounding error.

NIH, this is why it's important to post the actual perspective.

And if it doesn't lead to actual spending decreases, it's virtue signaling at best (and has been one of my primary fears about hyping it up too much since it was first floated during the campaign).


I think this “DOGE” PR effort starts to make more sense when you realize it’s just Musk trying to put on a Twitter Files Redux. Just fluff and BS.

Even with the loose language used, how would it not be a failure of DOGE? Or if not the specific agency (or whatever it is), the purported support/philosophy behind creating it?

This is the first test and the time when Trump has the most power and momentum. We should see the most significant cuts this go around.



bullshite

Not one democrat will vote for any of it. The failure will be on them.

Was the spending allocated to FEMA?

You can't just shift allocations from one agency to another.
