    Any system large enough is going to have waste and fraud. That doesn’t mean the system shouldn’t exist, and it certainly doesn’t mean that the system shouldn’t be handed over to the largest wasters and fraudsters on the planet.

      Are you talking about the ones that are actually reporting the waste and fraud, lmao.

      I do agree that there is a huge opportunity for waste and fraud in a large system, that’s why most have third party auditing.

        Why hasn’t DOGE cut spending on Tesla subsidies? Extremely wasteful to be spending billions on tax breaks for a company making nothing of use to the American public thats ethos runs exactly opposite to the “drill drill drill” principal of this administration?

        Yeah. Why cut funding and staff for the IRS, which has like a 30/1 ROI? Why cut support for NASA which has ~10/1 ROI?

        Because DOGE is a misnomer. It’s purely a tool to implement project 2025 goals.
