Okay, this is the post that did it. I have been trying to decide if you were just a person with a differing viewpoint, which would be perfectly fine, or if you are unintelligent and part of the MAGA cult. Turns out, you are an unintelligent person. First, you use the highest end of the range to try to make your point. Strike one as being disingenuous. Second, everyone is against fraud in government spending, except those, I guess, who are committing the fraud or profiting from it in some way. Third, what DOGE is doing is just wantonly slashing things, mostly in the form of jobs (I suppose because everyone in business knows that payroll is your highest expense). And, not coincidentally, they are jobs within departments that as a matter of policy the Trump administration and Republicans/conservatives don't like, like USAID and other programs that help mostly poor people. Policy differences are not the same as fraud. That is totally illogical and, frankly, anti-democratic; strike two. Lastly, the numbers here are a very small fraction of the total budget. Would everyone like fraud in government spending to be as low as possible? Of course! Is it possible for it to ever be zero? Fuck no! Whenever you have an organization as large and as complex as the federal government, even a vastly shrunken version of it, fraud will always be possible and it will always happen. Total failure to understand the way the real world works - strike three. You're out.
