Where's the Department of DOGE Efficiency to step in and burn it down from the inside?

I mean this in the nicest way.... DUH!

And we don't need a presumption. DOGE have proven itself full of shit.

Make that "the entire administration" and not only DOGE.

presumption = acknowledgement

Our government issues our national currency by entering numbers on a computer keyboard to mark up private bank accounts

It taxes by marking down private back accounts

There is not a vault somewhere that has a stash of computer generated numbers

I never thought about doge being a legit part of our government to begin with. He helped pres Chaos get elected, and pres Chaos owes him a lot.

DOGE will end up accomplishing nothing and costing billions. One of the few benefits of federal employment is relative job security for demonstrating competence and decent but not exciting benefits in exchange for lower pay. DOGE seeks to pay retirees out early and execute a chain of illegal firings

Fits right in with Trump, eh?

I really think they actually believe all these fleeting “savings” are real.

They need a DOGE accountant to vet their “big savings!!!” before they post them, because it’s obvious none of them know anything about the subject.

You haven't been doing that from the outset?
