DOGE Could End Up Costing More Than They Save

Zachary B. Wolf: Rather than set government straight, Musk is leaving Washington with the federal budget all cattywampus.

They fired thousands of Veterans, gutted our care, and thought we'd stay quiet? When Trump unleashed Musk and DOGE, we fought back--hard. Tip lines. Town halls. Face to face in DC. We're not backing down. We're just getting started. Join us â¡ï¸ votevets.org

Who would've guessed?

It will definitely end up costing more than it saved, and that's not including the cost to all the people fired and projects terminated and lives and livelihoods lost.

This 'shock' part of the overall shock and awe intentional strategy to disrupt and defeat 'the enemy' of other Americans... is what these criminals in the WH will be remembered for.

Anyone who doubts it knows nothing about how the world really works.

Not only will the federal budget be all "cattywampus" the government itself will be left dysfunctional, inefficient and unable to respond to or help the people.

How much will it cost to repair the damage the Mad King is inflicting on his own government?

No one knows. It's incalculable.

It's even possible we may never recover.

And statements such as this will never be forgotten or forgiven:

"When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work, because they are increasingly viewed as the villains. We want their funding to be shut down ... We want to put them in trauma."

"We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected ... We want to put them in trauma".

Russell Vought is a Christian Nationalist and was central to the Project 2025 blueprint and now the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Trump administration, repeatedly expressed a desire to "put [federal workers] in trauma".

Good luck wiping that hateful traitorous crap from the history books maga maroons.

Trump has made the Federal workplace a hostile work environment.

This is actionable and it won't end well for Uncle Sam.

Don't worry, not all their accomplishments will fade.

The kids they killed will all stay dead.

Woo. Hoo.

Well, since the real intent was, and is, to take from the poor to give to the rich, in terms of massive tax cuts that will both bankrupt America and work at destroying FDRs safety net, Musk and the rest of the gang are doing their best at doing the worst they can for those of us at the bottom of the economic pyramid.
And it is only going to get worse, wait until they call out their violent stand back and stand by gangs to stop protests. Remember when Nixon had a lot of resistance until violence broke out at Altamont?

200,000 to this point. Obviously only the start.

Well, as one powerful MAGA recently said, we all die.

Could we convince her to go first?

Just because they calm it does not make it true, as so any attack articles claims do not come to fruition. Of course many gullible libbies will believe any statement as long as it is against Trump and/or Musk, because you want to believe.

"Just because they calm it does not make it true"

If only you felt this way about DOGE itself!

"Just because they calm it does not make it true"

That's what we've been telling you!

"Scott Bessent called him out and said, 'You promised us a trillion dollars in cuts, and now you're at like $100 billion. Nobody can find any savings. What are you doing?'" Bannon recounted. drudge.com

Just because they calm it does not make it true

They didn't 'just claim it'. They showed actual examples where the abrupt cut-off of USAID resulted in deaths from lack of treatment.

You didn't do one second of fact-checking before dismissing everything. Didn't you? Just like always

There's no evidence that will ever reach your bar to criticize your idols, yet it's subterranean when it's their -------- you're buying.

Amazing how abruptly shutting down life-saving treatment results in people dying.

Amazing to the fking idiots that run our country and the ------ idiots that follow them.

This is why there's no debate about what's actually going on.

Because even the TrumpHumpers on this board know it's indefensible.

So what do they do? Fake News it. Their convenient mental exercise to avoid any reflection on their actions or consequences from it.

I volunteered medically; domestic and international. I was one of two lead docs in a Haitian refugee camp 6 months after the earthquake.

It sometimes seemed like a drop in the bucket and still I wonder how ultimately futile it was. But for that person who's life saved, it wasn't.

And I know that many of those nights, if they didn't have us, they had no one. That's reality. That's what was terminated for pennies in savings.

Ain't that just like a government departmental program?

Isn't that just like Trump to cost the United States TRILLIONS of dollars. He couldn't save a goldfish from drowning.

I'm not going to bother to look back through things I've written in the past I simply know that I predicted this from the start
