I wanted an audit of the federal government and spending to be reigned in. Why wouldn’t we? We are on an entirely unsustainable path. There are a lot of people out there that don’t want that to happen and will stop at nothing to prevent it. There are billions and billions of motivations for people to lie and sabotage and cherry pick any of the mishaps that are bound to happen in an initiative of this scope. Difficult cuts will be made. Sucks, but it’s reality.


You were never going to give this a fair shot, and you live in the left echo chamber of people who weren’t going to give it a fair shot, and who are disproportionately represented in federal government jobs to begin with. So naturally you’re getting the confirmation of your bias that you crave and running with it.

Congress has the power of the purse strings. The Trumpers are in control of both houses. This should not be too hard for them if they are serious about it. The problem is they are not. Hell, they cannot even get a tax and/or immigration bill together.

I’m fine with the concept of making government more efficient and cost-effective. I’m not convinced the world’s richest man, who wasn’t elected to anything is the person to oversee it.

Elon clearly has a personal agenda. And it’s influence and power.

But they won’t, they love the scorched earth approach that they can’t be blamed for. While they collect gubmnet paychecks, healthcare and the perks of being influential friends with billionaires.

Which is why I say let them go and when Medicare, Medicaid, FEMA, etc. money is dried up and the checks stop flowing to the Red States (funded by the Blue States), and there are more jihadists running amuck all over the world (and eventually here), more planes crashing and their kids are sick because the water is fucked up, there are no chickens left, and they have to cancel their trip to Yosemite because the FAA, EPA, FDA, and the Park Service can't do their jobs with only 10 people, just remind them this is what they voted for.

As I said, this won’t end well. For anyone. Especially Republican politicians. The buyers’ remorse will be profuse.

Until the inevitable Progressive overreach ala the Biden Admin. He fucked up royal in who he hired/appointed in critical positions.

https://www.mediaite.com/tv/jesse-watters-makes-on-air-plea-to-trump-for-veteran-friend-who-got-doged-in-pentagon-cuts/

Quote
Fox News host Jesse Watters made an on-air plea that the Trump administration be “less callous” when implementing when laying off federal employees after a military veteran friend was “DOGE’d” in Elon Musk’s Pentagon cuts.

A report on Wednesday revealed that the Pentagon had provided the Trump administration with a list of probationary employees who could be targeted in the next wave of federal workforce reductions.

I certainly do not mind shitcanning worthless bureaucrats, of which there are many, but there has to be rhyme and reason to it. This is not it.

The irony of a bunch of people talking about worthless bureaucrats while we post on a message board during the work day.

They laid off every new, recently transferred, or recently promoted person in the National Parks Service and National Forest Service. Trump did this. The guy who bitched that we weren't "raking the leaves" fires the people who rake the leaves. Both of those orgs are chronically understaffed.

Now if you say "it sucks, but we aren't gonna have National Parks", we can have a policy disagreement there. But that's not what you, or Musk or Trump are saying.
