Law The DOGE JIG is almost up

[Gamer2k4]

Ultimately the proof is in the pudding. Clinton turned a $290B deficit in 1992 to a $236B surplus when he left office in 2000.

Keep in mind that's an annual figure. The national debt when Clinton left office was still $5.6 trillion, up from $4 trillion when he took office.

Here’s All of the Data That Elon Musk’s DOGE May Have on You and Your Family​

A new report shows the potential extent to which Musk's organization is in the midst of a data coup.

https://gizmodo.com/heres-all-of-th...ge-may-have-on-you-and-your-family-2000587154

"The list of potential data categories that DOGE could access via this effort includes credit and debit card numbers, your employer’s name, your IP address, the high school and/or college you went to, your mother’s maiden name, medical and academic records, your spouse’s personal information, tax, credit, health, and employment history, and much, much more. DOGE has sought to gain access to this information via its forced liaisons with a multitude of agencies, including the departments of Education, Labor, Social Security, Treasury, and Health and Human Services, as well as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the General Services Administration, and the Office of Personnel Management.

Indeed, the newspaper says that it has identified approximately “80 data systems in total that have been targeted by DOGE,” though it also notes that its analysis is limited in that it only pertains to systems that “contain personal information about the American public,” and doesn’t include those that might pertain specifically to businesses and federal workers."

He offered people early retirement and didn’t backfill attrition.

He also worked with Republicans instead of constantly threatening them. Couldn’t say the same thing the other way around.

Oh my god that’s fucking not true. Anyone can look it up. He didn’t work with shit.

Thanks to The Freedom of Information Act, Elon Mussk will finally have to cough up his evidence of "fraud and corruption" in the next few weeks...​

Leftists: "We've got `em this time..."

I can't imagine anyone defending this, but the day is young.

Should have filed early.

Oh my god that’s fucking not true. Anyone can look it up. He didn’t work with shit.

Clinton’s budget in 1993 did most of the work on getting the budget balanced.

The 1999 budget, which had a surplus, was bipartisan.

Trump is the worst president in history for deficits and bipartisanship. Nobody else comes close.

DOGE Is About to Get DOGE’d​

“The publication, citing government records and sources, revealed that the Government Accountability Office (GAO) launched an investigation back in March into how Elon Musk’s pseudo-agency has been handling data in the offices that it has pried its way into.

The audit, which comes from an agency that operates under the legislative branch, marks the first significant challenge to DOGE’s operations that has not come from the courts. Per Wired, the investigation—which is scheduled to wrap up by the end of spring and will produce a publicly accessible report of its findings—will focus primarily on DOGE’s adherence to privacy and data protection laws and regulations.“

DOGE Is Far Short of Its Goal, and Still Overstating Its Progress​

Elon Musk now says his group will produce only 15 percent of the savings it promised. But even that estimate is inflated with errors and guesswork.

Musk admits that DOGE may only cut 15 percent of its stated $1 trillion goal - and even that figure may be high​

Musk’s DOGE continues to include significant errors on their public savings reports
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...-musk-doge-federal-savings-goal-b2732504.html

"DOGE continues to publicly report its savings on its website, labeling it the “Wall of Receipts.” The site, which was last updated Tuesday, is heavily error-ridden and shows a total of $150 billion in estimated savings, according to the Times."

"Meanwhile, the Government Accountability Office has been investigating DOGE since last month, according to Wired. Their audit is specifically targeting DOGE’s access to sensitive government data.
The audit comes after Congressional leaders requested it in light of “alarming” media reports of DOGE infiltrating federal systems, a congressional aide told Wired."​

Funny how DOGE missed Ron InSantis and his wife funneling $10m of taxpayer dollars into one of their charities from Medicaid. Money that was part of a settlement and owed to taxpayers. Literal Medicaid fraud and DOGE said zippo about it:

DeSantis: Report that says $10M donation to Hope Florida came from Medicaid settlement was ‘fabricated’

On Wednesday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis pushed back against a new report that said last year’s $10 million donation to Hope Florida, a charity spearheaded by his wife Casey DeSantis, was part of a Medicaid settlement that owed millions of dollars to state and federal taxpayers.

This is a gift to China and Russia. These fucking losers...

Elon Musk's DOGE Has Been a Dismal Failure​

"DOGE is not a serious exercise."​

https://futurism.com/elon-musk-doge-dismal-failure
"DOGE is not a serious exercise," Manhattan Institute fellow Jessica Riedl told Reuters, estimating that DOGE had only saved $5 billion to date and predicting that Musk's efforts could ultimately cost the government more than it saves."

Elon Musk’s DOGE claimed to have saved $160 billion, but it may have cost Americans atleast $135 B
https://economictimes.indiatimes.co...35-billion/articleshow/120640716.cms?from=mdr

"However, estimates from Yale’s Budget Lab suggest DOGE’s staff cuts at the IRS alone could lead to $323 billion in lost tax revenue over the next decade."

“Well, Mr. President, they say I wear a lot of hats. It’s true. Even my hat has a hat,” Musk said, laughing at his own joke as the table of sycophants laughed along.

After Musk’s jokes had gotten their laughs, Trump moved on to the elephant in the room. How much longer is Musk going to be sticking around and destroying the federal government?

“You’re invited to stay as long as you want. And at some point, I guess, you want to get back home to his cars…” Trump said.

This has to be one of the most blatant smash and grab operations I’ve ever seen.
DOGE came in, sent a bunch of people to the unemployment line, got access to a shitload of our personal info and most sensitive government info, barely saved us a god damn penny, and walked right out the door

Promised 2 trillion in savings, only got 150 billion or so, but didn’t take into account the value of the labor the federal workforce was hired to complete. This is projected to cost us around 135 billion, making their total savings to us negligible if it exists at all.

DOGE’s mass federal workforce cuts may cost taxpayers $135 billion this fiscal year alone

Elon Musk’s efforts to slash federal spending are costing the government in lost productivity and tax revenue, workforce and policy experts claim.

Oh my god that’s fucking not true. Anyone can look it up. He didn’t work with shit.

Clinton did work with republicans on that, that claim is true. Clinton got authorization from Congress for the downsizing he did.

I don't know why people ever actually believed DOGE was about actual cuts not peoples personal information? Elon never and Trump never been interested in saving money it has been about people's personal information and data that could be worth trillions. Especially to evil operators such as Russia who could target people as well as potentially China? He's running around with a terabyte or terabytes of personal data.
