Commentary: "Anyone who still views Musk's project to be about improving government efficiency or modernizing government technology or eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse is not playing with a full deck. This is a land grab."

"But knowing who's behind the seismic cuts is apparently not a priority for conservatives, who would seemingly rather keep DOGE's operators in a literal deep state."

"But despite DOGE's mandate, some experts believe that the organization's haphazard work chopping the government into nonfunctional bits will actually add to the deficit.

On Tuesday, The Atlantic's Jonathan Chait argued that DOGE's "inflated" savings thus far had amounted to little more than a "rounding error" and that the group's decision to take a metaphorical chain saw to the IRS had effectively decimated the government's ability to collect revenue (taxes)"moves that could actually increase the nation's debt.

"There's a reason that none of the innumerable budget experts who have studied the deficit have proposed anything resembling what DOGE has come up with," Chait wrote.

"By almost any ideological standard, it is the worst possible approach."

"the worst possible approach" is totally Donald to a T. Ax' any of the women he's raped and abused. Or any of the banks or clients or anyone he's promised money to and reneged.

Ask his swing voters today.

The point is to precipitate the implosion of the US.

That's it.

I thought they were all about transparency? Apparently not so much when it comes to hiding the identity of DOGE lackeys, but publishing the names of CIA operatives and FBI agents is fine.

"conservatives were surprisingly unhappy"

Not to be overly pedantic, but conservatives are always unhappy.

Conservatives are finally getting the Federal government they wanted, small enough to drown in the bathtub, and they don't seem happy about it.

I guess King Trumpy don't like it when the nation's largest newspapers are doing their job of rooting out fraud and waste and corruption and abuse of power in the Government of the People.

He should just banish them all to the "corn field".

I look at it this way: they have all our information, why shouldn't we have theirs?
