Elon Musk's DOGE wasted more than $21 billion in just six months. Other studies have found that in the longterm it may cost the government more than it saved, while resulting in millions of deaths.
What was infuriating was to hear a few so-called “independents”, Enlightened Centrists, and Democrats saying, as this was happening, things like “well, we really do need someone to do something about waste, fraud and abuse, but I’m not sure these guys are doing it right”.
Why the fuck do people even accept the goddamn framing of the extremist right wing? What evidence is there of extreme amounts of any of that repeated babble phrase (repeat after me, children!) “waste, fraud and abuse”, most especially in the departments that were under attack from these partisan hacks with zero experience and zero expertise? I mean, JFC, some of the dipshits in there weren’t even old enough to rent a fucking car. What the fuck do they know about anything? And you are handing kids the keys to the place with no oversight, no vetting and no legal right to be there?
So to accept the bullshit framing and then to proceed from that false premise to only say: “gee whiz, I don’t think these kids just out of diapers might know what they are even doing?” in such a tone was just so exasperating.
