If they fund it, it’s Revolution time. There’s no way the British were stealing from the colonists any worse than this.

who do you think is releasing to the public the expenditure information they are finding?

The Treasury itself
Full transparency, full disclosure

it is the Treasury itself saying here is the amount, here is where the money went, here is what the money is SUPPOSED to be for

the interns from SpaceX just wrote the audit code and generated the reports, they dont have any special insight into the data or what it all means

do we really believe producing a morning kids show in Iraq cost $20 million?

the reason the Dems and the Establishment are screaming is because their policy funding nest egg has been uncovered. The party is over.

Trump and Musk short circuited the usual audit process
No review board, no committees, no redundant layers of review, no redlining, just here is what they found in Treasury expenditures for USAID straight into the public eye

Again your pointing at an end product and saying “that’s transparency”

It’s transparency for the government not DOGE.

that’s what’s transparency means

you can say “oh i’m just going over the numbers” transparency is being look look at how I am only allowed to go over the numbers and the various protections we have in place to make sure senstafice matters of national security can’t be looked at by a SpaceX intern.


You already know what they have access to. It’s 100% transparent.

What you don’t know is how they are doing what they are doing. You won’t get to know that nor should you. It’s an audit.

I think this is coming but it will be at the end of the winning.
Kind of like cherry on top.

That strawman you constructed would rival the statue of liberty. It was pretty obvious what I was referring to because I quoted it for you. But, here you are again feigning ignorance or just straight up lying.

Why shouldn’t we the taxpayers know what’s going on?

That’s fricking dumb.

What department has the biggest budget of them all?

It sounds like your beef is with Elon, not so much that USAID is now shuttered.

What ever happened to the line item veto that Reagan supposedly utilized? Can presidents not use that anymore?

I dont really care about USAID spending


Please don’t argue with this idiot. This is all we need to know. Sammy is ridden with TDS and only wants to complain about Trump and Elon. Doesn’t GAF about all this wasteful spending that gets funneled back to his party. Wonder why

no i don’t care if they cut it the whole thing.

I care about making sure the people who are going through it aren’t up to anything and I dont just trust him because he’s rich and threw on a MAGA hat like you retards.

Did you scream for transparency under Joe/Kamala? Because taxpayers know more about what's going on in a short last 3 weeks under Trump than they ever knew in 4 yrs under Biden.

DOGE are just running audit programs, the balls of the POTUS to order the Treasury Secretary to release the findings is what is different

DOGE is just a fancy presentation of an independent contractor running a government expenditure audit

what the frick are you even asking for?

if Elon wanted to hit the Treasury expenditures with DOGE and create leverage for himself and his companies he would have started with Defense or NASA

WTF does he gain by starting off DOGE audits at the State Department?

There's a bunch of Hajis sitting in the desert waiting on their monthly payments to come in from Biden.

Well the trump could limit disbursements solely to food and construction equipment sourced only from the USA. No disbursements for cash grants or media


from what I understand, Rubio can put in for whatever he wants for the USAID budget figure

he is trimming down the personnel from 14,000 to 294. So my guess is the budget request for USAID will be a fraction of what it has been
