What ensues seems to be more of a listing of PR resumes than qualifications regarding how they will, e.g., protect the Social Security benefit distributions.

I suspect these dweebs frighten easily. Two fire-bombed Teslas will get these Muskrats to start thinking seriously about another line of work. A dead raccoon on someone's front stoop will pretty much seal the deal...

The only ones who are frightened are Democrats. Who wouldn't want our government waste eliminated so that our tax dollars actually go where they are supposed to go? Democrats. Why? Because they have been the recipients of the fraud and waste. Pretty basic.

If you watched the interview, which Democrats won't do, these are mostly tech guys who have seen how archaic and expensive to maintain our government computer systems are. It's a relatively inexpensive fix. They are not looking to reduce benefits, they are looking to make the system more efficient so benefits don't need to be reduced. Without it the system is in big trouble.

Finally, an American president willing to continue spending at disastrous current levels while floating tax hikes and pushing government impositions that will raise consumer prices with the help of DOGE incel pirates.

Riddle me this, Fishy: why is it that for years GOPers have denied funds for the modernization of IRS systems, equipment and software, yet now it's a great idea for unelected, unvetted strangers to pry into sensitive data on millions of Americans, and try to make sense of COBOL code about which they appear to know nothing? A follow-up: a role of government is to deliver that which is necessary, but impossible for individuals to provide for themselves (e.g., interstate highways, public schools, the US Military, etc.) and so why is it acceptable to those whose hands are on the levers of power to decide what others may or may not deem to be a necessary function of government? Asking for your fellow citizens, many of whom disagree with your personal perspective...

Provide a link where they denied funds for the modernization of equipment and software. They denied a massive increase in workers, agreed.
And who cares really. The systems are obsolete and costing taxpayers millions. I'm assuming you are for upgrading those systems since you had such a hard time with the GOP somehow denying updating them in the past.
