And what’s the damage being done to people who have decades of experience in these institutions? Who are they being replaced with? Not only are they lying about how much we save but we’ve also got to consider that a lot of our government is being replaced with loyalists and not people of merit. This kind of stuff leads to a country’s downfall. might not notice it right away but it won’t be the same country we grew up with in the future. USA certainly has its problems but I have yet to see someone make a good argument as to how all this dismantling is a good thing in the long run.
One way to go about that would be doing exactly what they are doing and identifying that waste, no?
A lot of people, myself included think most government workers stay at home and play video games all day long. Maybe watch some Netflix also. Losing their decades of experience won't hurt us. Also they won't be replaced, they are not needed.
Well you would just be wrong since the majority of federal employees are fully on site. This is why you don't try to craft policy based purely on vibes.

Look from my experience in dealing with government workers, they are the most incompetent workers around, and Slow. The few I know talked about how many weeks they must wander around aimlessly, trying to look busy.
That is fine, but taking that money and sending it in checks instead of reallocating it to what they do deem important and then reducing the overall tax demand?
You have a turnip's understanding of the world.
Trump signed off on the withdrawal from Afghanistan with the blessing of the Taliban LOL
So why doesn't Congress do it then? We've been sitting around for years with no progress. Should we just give them another 10 years or will it take bit more?
I'm going to keep posting this until people stop claiming the government wasn't doing anything about waste before Trump and DOGE came along,

Because parties have other priorities and more importantly, the framers made a stupid decision in allowing the filibuster. Since you need super majorities to pass bills (outside of reconciliation, which is limited in how often it can be used), it gives singular senators way more control they would have normally. Similarly, gerrymandered districts and the cap on house seats empowers extremists who cater to their base because margins are so narrow.
