So far, doge claims it saved 45 billion on its website. When you add up the actual reciepts posted, it's 16 billion. Of that 16 billion, half is this false 8 billion, which is 8 million, with 2.5 million already paid out, so actually just 5.5 million.
So even by their records, which are not trustworthy, they may have cut 8 billion. The 100 billion number? Just something Charlie kirk made up. No other hard data at all.
How are these people brazillionaires and I'm schlepping away to not get my home taken off me by the bank? I can string a sentence together and do basic arithmetic, and I can count to twenty without taking off my shoes!
You can "save" a bunch of money by not paying the Fire Department. It'll look great on a budget, and then you can enjoy the beautiful skyline of your city burning!
Always ask: saved, for what? The money is appropriated by congress. You're actively working to cut services and programs, not eliminating fraud, waste, or abuse in any way. Not that you'd know, because you already fired the people who track fraud, waste, and abuse for identifying your violations, repeatedly.
Is this how nazi Germany started? Cutting all "unnecessary" projects and personnel then introducing "necessary" projects and personnel that they control...
Did they? Do you have any sources? Because I did a quick search and couldn't find anything about it (though I'll admit I did not invest too much time into that search)
The Nazi regime did lots of shitty things over half a century ago. The Trump administration does lots of shitty things right now. There is an overlap - but this Venn diagram is not a circle.
If your premise is "The government does nothing beneficial" then cutting it makes sense 100% of the time. I wish Elon would take some time to check out Chesterton's fence. I'll deliberately not link that here to frustrate readers.
