I always remembered this line from his debate in 2008.

quote:

We need to eliminate a whole host of programs that don’t work. And I want to go through the federal budget line by line, page by page, programs that don’t work, we should cut. Programs that we need, we should make them work better.

So in his 8 years, he never followed through, printed more money than all Presidents before him and now you want to give him the credit for Trump's DOGE?

Nice second post by the way.

In 1988, I said I was going to play center field for the Yankees. I didn't do anything about it, but I said it.

And yet after 8 years he only managed to increase it all.

I posted this a few days ago.

DOGE was originally the USDS created by Obama. President Trump renamed the agency to DOGE and is actually utilizing it.

He's our go-to authority on old Obama debate quotes and the status of David Allan Coe on Amazon Prime.

He said a lot of things to get conservatives to vote for him and did the opposite. I bet Obama was right in the middle of the grift. That’s all USAID is, politicians getting rich off of our taxes.

Nothing new.
Candidates always promise things and never deliver…

I think there are at least 2 more groups..

Those that see.
Those that see, but pretend they don't.
Those that see when they are shown.
Those who say they do not see, when they really do.
Those who do not see.

And yes, these extra categories are what causes the world to be fricked up.. but they no doubt exist at this point..

Obama is behind all of the roadblocks hindering DOGE. The federal activists he appointed judges are doing his bidding to stop it.

I think what OP is doing is skewering all of the Leftist talking points attacking DOGE.

No he just tapped into what the people wanted and so he used it to trick them into voting for him. Government waste and the people’s desire to curtail it is nothing new. Same as immigration.

Anyone can have an idea.

Until they are implemented they are just that, especially those ideas that are just used to get a desired result…also known as a lie.
