No one on this board is happier than I am to see corruption and waste get uprooted. I just haven’t heard what is the plan to do with the uprooted waste. You and others on this board are more plugged in to MAGA than me, so I’m asking what have you heard that Musk is going to do with all that money he is confiscating from the criminal bureaucrats. Will he give it back to us?Only thing we know for sure Dan, the sun will come up tomorrow and you will still support the Palestinians no matter what.
It seems every day the news reports that DOGE has discovered more corruption and waste of taxpayer money. I'm wondering what will happen to the recovered billions of dollars they have found. I think the government budget is in the neighborhood of $6 trillion. If DOGE finds $330 billion in waste and fraud will it give every man, woman and child in America a $1,000.00 refund, along with an apology for stealing our money? I know Pete Hegseth has said he will "redirect" the wasteful and fraudulent DoD expenditures into other areas of his budget. Are we to assume that the locations of the redirected money will be immune from fraud and waste? As for me, I'd just like my money back. Redirect it to me!
Haven't they? That's the impression I get from watching the news as Musk brandishes a chainsaw. If they haven't found waste and fraud and recovered the wasted and fraudulent money, what happened to it?
I saw a Fox News report that Musk & DOGE say they have saved $65 billion as of Monday. Do you know what they mean by "saved?" If they didn't get the money back what did they save? Where is the $65 billion? What became of it? You can accuse Trump and Musk of corruption if you want, but I'd just like to know what DOGE means when it says it saved $65 billion from being wasted.
Sarcasm Dan, sarcasm.
I am wasting my time responding to you as are choosing to be obtuse. Now that I have identified where I am wasting my time, I am going to eliminate that waste going forward and exit this thread for good.
Believe it or not no sarcasm has been intended. I have not heard a word from Musk or anybody else what to expect from their audits, only how they’ve already isolated billions of fraudulent and wasted dollars. I think that’s great! I just think they ought to tell us what the next step is after they locate the money. I expect their popularity would shoot through the roof if they said the plan is to give back the money they took from us for their criminal endeavors. I’m not sure why people are getting upset by my question. It was honestly asked. (But I do understand they’re upset by who asked the question; they’ve trained themselves to disagree with anything I might say, since I don’t glorify Israel.)
Maybe you should expand your news sources from just Palestinian propaganda outlets.
I told you right up front I do not follow MAGA nearly as closely as you. That's why I was asking the question.Maybe you should expand your news sources from just Palestinian propaganda outlets.
Following MAGA? It was all over the news the other day but in your defense I've been trapped in the house the last few days. Had knee surgery and I'm not running around like I normally do.
I'm usually too busy reading my Palestinian propaganda to watch Fox News with regularity. (Blue)
I like Trump just fine. I agree with him a lot of the time, but some of his policies strike me as pure foolishness. It seems to be very hard for some of the most ardent Trump supporters on this board to handle anyone who disagrees with anything the man says or does. They exhibit cult-like characteristics but have no clue they are doing so. They think anyone who finds anything about the man with which to disagree is evidence he is a pinko commie Democrat left-wing progressive who deserves nothing but derision. I don't have a personalized license plate, but if I did it would say "F__k the State."
Who has influenced yer life the most Dan, the one you look up to, that world "problem solver"?
What was Frederic Bastiat known for?
You should read him; I bet you would like him. He is best known for his essay on that which is seen and that which is not seen, in which he argues that government policies produce the results they claim to seek, but what is not seen is the policies also produce results that cause damage but are so widespread they are not seen. I wouldn't say he is the one that discovered "unintended consequences," but he's the first one I read about it.
☝🏻this is the same mental deficiency that would cause one to think that Mexico was going to actually write a check to pay for the wall. If Office Depot offers a new computer for $700, and I buy the same computer on Amazon for $500, I’ve saved $200, but I have not experienced an inflow of $200. Serious obtuseness on Dan’s part.
I apologize; I'm not trying to be obtuse. I just want to know what to expect from the savings DOGE is claiming it has achieved. I don't think it is unreasonable or obtuse to say "show me the beef."
But what does that mean for you and me? The money was provided and set aside for contracts that have now been cancelled. What is to become of that money?
