Economy Will you see any benefit from DOGE?

I think there is some confusion from some of the more aggressive right wingers. I don't believe the PEOPLE are pushing back against the idea of finding wasteful spending. Why would a citizen say it's a good thing. A POLITICIAN might be worried of being found out, but I feel like there's a lot of conflation with people being against the idea vs being against the method. I'm all for cutting government waste but we need to know that Musk is doing an honest, fair, transparent, and ethical job and not simply targeting political agencies he and Trump have ideological differences with.
 
Comrade, what’s wrong with the means of production being in the hands of the working man?
yeah when you go to work and generate $10,000 worth of profit for the company, it's actually better that you DON'T get that money. it should go to someone else, actually.
 
There’s low hanging fruit there about “criminals in charge” but I’ll leave it be.

Things would be worse if we had a dictatorship masquerading as a communism. No argument here. I’ll say too that Right now the workers already control nothing and end up with nothing. We can see on a micro scale collective ownership working well, (winco foods, as an example), profit sharing obviously makes for happier workers and it’s the working class that spends the excess money and puts it back into the economy.

We have record profits for these mega corps while people working full time are on food stamps. Every day Workers should be getting a bigger piece of the pie
Except these “poor” workers being taken advantage of by capitalism are still 100 times wealthier and much better off in just about every way that any of the workers in actual communist countries. How do you explain that?

when factoring for cost of living, no they aren't.

You're as clueless as always.

Have you ever been to an actual communist country? Have you ever talked to anyone who has?

Go ask your local Cuban American what they think.

or you could read data and not rely on anecdotal evidence like an adult. that said, yes, i've talked to plenty of people who lived under tito in the former yugoslavia as well as children of people who lived under him. their lives were immeasurably better under tito.

i've also talked to plenty of cuban americans whose parents and grandparents lived under both batista and castro and they left cuba because they couldn't have slave plantations anymore lol
 
He's hoping Trump's excellent tariffs will convince his leaders to see the truth, that Canada should be our 51st state. He's putting the cart in front of the horse but you have to admire his spirit; he wants to be one of us.

He also correctly understands that an unelected billionaire shutting down parts of the government is fine and totally legal, and that Elon/Trump are looking out for the average person's best interests which is how they built their immense wealth in the first place, like with Trump's crypto.

Shedding trillions of dollars from the budget won't be a problem nor have any deleterious effects, and him being investigated for labor violations and whatnot from the institutions he's trying to shut down is fine, not to mention him doing business around the world including with China, no conflicts of interest at all.

C'mon man.
wait

this dummy isnt American?

You are kidding.

No Cuban that lived through Batista would give you the time of day.

Which countries are actually communist?
 
I'm shocked Trump hasn't announced he going to annex Cuba too. It almost became part of the U.S. once, but Trump doesn't even know which countries were on which side during WW2, so I doubt he knows that.

He could set up little Trump Cruises across the Gulf of America between our new states, Panama and Cuba, where retirees blow all their money on rigged slot machines, with Roseanne doing stand up, and Kid Rock singing all his hits. It will be Hell; Trump supporters would love it.
