DOGE didn't save money. That is a well documented fact. Spending is way up compared to 2024. Your list is smoke and mirrors.
Intent? Do you not think he had the intent to save money? DId his best? Hired the best minds, and a genius to run it? So you are like some of the whiners here who think the minions were in on a scam?? Jesus. So no intent?
Yet dems' INTENT is to pay for the medical care, the health care, the sore throats and pregnancies, of people who are foreign nationals living in our country? It will COST us money, little feller. Demanded by dems.
Does it COST us money to pay tuitions? You will say, the long run is that the graduate will improve the economy!! You also said that the Inflation Reduction Act would reduce inflation, for god sake. Neither of which is true.
Thhis is not your best morning. BTW Marauder is wrong to say that the shutdown is not about Dems wanting to pay for healthcare of illegal aliens. FLAT wrong. But he is a double talker, resorting to links which no one reads....recall he said that the government did not use Tax Money to pay tuitions. What a farce right out of the gate, considering,... follow me here,... that the government has no money, not one penny.

One among many examples of DOGE making a "cut" that cost more money than it saved.

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

DOGE effectively shuttered an agency which returned over $26 billion to the American people since 2011, but only cost taxpayers a fraction of that amount to run.

The intent of DOGE was smoke and mirrors. They purposefully hired people who had no idea what they were doing (in some cases we're still teenagers) to make seemingly random "cuts" to government. A serious attempt to cut government spending would have actually worked, since we know there is excess and waste.

Imperfect, like if you wanted to build a bridge but blew one up instead, we should give credit that you at least tried?

Lol DOGE was liberal?

They came into the store, broke a bunch of stuff and declared "look, see, we saved you from having to dust those shelves" and then rode off into the sunset. You're welcome.

No assessment of DOGE reveals any cost savings, mostly it cost more money than it saved.

The actual.workmof government cost reduction is difficult and less flashy. Trump's not interested.

I looked up intent being smoke and mirrors? Where is that? Or is it just opinion, of losers. What was the $2B that they saved. Wildgrass.....is that smoke and mirrors? Are you smoke and mirrors? We know we have a Bot in Marauder, now we have a smoke and mirrors in you. Just great.


Wildgrass here says the young men working long hours did not know what they were doing. Does anyone even know what wildgrass means?

Smoke and mirrors refers to the practice of magicians who can make seemingly magical things happen, someone is sawed in half, even though reality nothing happens.

Lol how quaint 2 billion saved you say? They spend more per day for national guard and ICE officers to stand around in the street and occasionally pepper spray a random civilian.

No thanks to DOGE the Washington Post reports today that there is $193 billion in fraud at the VA due to abused disability claims.

Trump's administration will do nothing about it. Why? Because they are lazy and they don't like solving real problems of waste and fraud. They only like flash and dazzle.

You got me, I had not thought to connect the two, Opens up a new world of thought. But did the money saved come from stopping our support of illegal alien invading thieves, rapist ciminals and murderers. ??? Then, they done good.
The lib posts are comical, usually the ones seemingly written while sitting at a dart-room pub table.
