And while they’re at it, since the head of it is going to be an anti-vaxer, they could get rid of the department that takes care of health. Clearly, they don’t have any interest in health…
“department of government efficiency” means cutting and reducing services for the common people, while simultaneously transferring funds and subsidies to private companies because they do it so much better (sarcasm).
I just read this morning that the House GOP is balking at Biden’s request for more funding of the Social Security Administration. Get ready for longer wait for service, folks!!! This is just the start. When the abstraction becomes the reality remember, THIS is what you voted for…
DOGE is advisory only and not an official cabinet position. Congress controls the purse strings and even though republicans have majority rule there’s probably little appetite for them to start cutting popular entitlements that even trump voters want left alone
Seems like the ‘DOGE’ is just a ploy to re-regulate in favor of certain companies ( any guesses as to which ones?) and for the mega rich to get more wealth faster. There is no way they can cut as much as they are saying without getting into Mandatory Spending on Entitlements and the Defense budget. . As was said earlier in this thread, congressmen want to keep their jobs so that is not going to happen in any appreciable way.

Don’t worry they will be “cutting” each other soon enough.

The Department of Redundancy Department should also be lurking under the table with Mr. Wriggly.

Which member of congress will get the pink slip from the Department of Government Efficiency first … progressives … liberals … moderates.
