DOGE!!

[Boyz N Da Hood]

How far should they go back? I say they should go back the past 4+ administrations! Going back one administration is suspect to say the least.... I keep seeing topics of wasteful spending by the Biden administration, I'd like to see Donald's first term and the Obama's...! 3...2...1.... let me hear the negativity behind this reasonable thought.....

I think their intent is to make the government more efficient, not looking for reasons to persecute an administration.

I would think they are only concerned with the current budget of the organizations they are looking into.

Anyone who has ripped off the American people needs to be held accountable….R or D.

Agree 100%, but I don’t think that’s the goal of DOGE, but I’m sure some instances of fraud rather than incompetence will lead to consequences.

Guess we'll see! Like I said, suspect to.say the least

Why go back at all?

They aren’t looking for a history of wasteful spending. Why would they go back any certain number of administrations?

 They are looking at stopping the ridiculous spending today. Nothing can be done about past money spent, only keeping it from being spent again.

I don’t know if the reports are true but with all the complaining from the Democrat politicians, I haven’t heard a single comment about the DOGE findings.

Examples….

$2M for sex charges in Guatemala.

$2.5M for Vietnam to buy electric vehicles.

$6M to fund tourism in Egypt.

$1.5M to fund DEI projects in Serbia.

$32T to help Peru to put out a transgender comic book.

$20B from the EPA that no one knows where it was spent.

Why would anyone want to go back to Bill Clinton or G W Bush and find moneys that were spent decades ago? Do you think someone is going to return the money?

So it's cool to point out 1 administration? If it's already spent why talk about it and not other wasteful spendings? 

"They are looking at stopping the ridiculous spending today" but talking about only 1 administration spendings... if what you say is true why talk about it and not just put a end to it?

Figured it was reasonable to point out a few administrations wasteful spending but that's just me... I'm sure if Conald wasn't 45th then they'd go back to the Obama era... suspect to say the least

They have halted some of the spending already to the tune of $billions. Too much more to be discovered. I think some of the fake projects will turn up some kickbacks and pure siphoning, which should be traceable. Some discoveries will show thievery for years, possibly decades. They won’t have to go back and investigate every administration for that. It will be obvious.

Ripe for DOGE!  Need to find out why they've been allowed to lose so much money and nothing ever done about it.  Elon will expose it!!

Don‘t ever forget ballot dumping. USPS even had to add Amazon deliveries to try and stay afloat. The rest of their deliveries are junk mail. All other communications are done online. They’ve operated in the red for decades. CUT!!!!

   The president does not approve detailed line spending. They just approve the overall bill. If you think I’m wrong, do you think Obama read every page of the affordable health care act?

    Everyone seems to think he is going after the previous administration. I would bet money some of the things being spent  are rollovers from the previous administrations including Trumps….   
 

    Lastly, if they wanted to call out anyone, it would be the writers of the bills that had the wasteful spending, but they have not

Not sure anybody is being hunted down, but some sure do seem anxious about bank accounts…lmao

I know this can’t be that difficult.

Trump to DOGE: Find where money is being wasted. Let’s cut the budget first by knocking out the scams and nonsense.

Are you okay with $2M for sex charges in Guatemala? $6M to help Egypt with tourism? Thousands of dollars to make a transgender comic book in Peru?

This might be hard to believe, but we cannot go back in time. If they found out during the W Bush presidency $10 was sent to a country to study the sex habits of tree frogs, what can we do now?

We are $37T in debt. No one is going to return that money whether wisely or poorly spent. All that we have control over is going forward.

If the Democrats want to fund a study to find which past administrations were the most wasteful, even though none of them will ever return to office, let them go for it. If they are looking for a gotcha moment, which is basically their mantra, dig away.

So what is DOGE finding that actually should be spent?

lol, wasn’t very difficult to figure out the intent of this thread.
