We have a serious spending problem.

EXCERPT: "When I was at the Department of Defense, we were spending $10,000 on HDMI cables that were ‘ruggedized’ when we could have purchased them for $20 or $30 at Best Buy…

Elon Musk's DOGE is sending 'shockwaves' through the Pentagon, ex-DOD insider says

Allen Control Systems CEO Steve Simoni said DOGE's impending DoD audit will uncover "all kinds of wasteful spending" amid the Pentagon's need to modernize to keep pace with China.

The big thing with this is they are giving early outs to people who better take them because later many people will be let go by Musks plan to use this powerful AI thing to automate all the agencies of government . I hope this isnt done too fast because of economic problems with unemployment going up too fast. However Musk likes to do things very fast. This what it really is about. AI automation is going to be doing things faster and it will eliminate many many jobs. This will filter down to the States and the private sector. Corporations will make more money. We will just have to wait and see how many jobs will be lost.

100% disagree. This is about waste, abuse and fraud. "Economic justice?"

GTFOH.

Fabricated job creation.

They might even look into your pension Sarge. This should solve the inflation problem. Interest rates can come down. Only problem is who is going to buy the products with so many people unemployed.? What with robots and AI taking over. It is something to think about.

I've watched, listened and have learned what the left has been talking about for a long, long time. I left the Democrat party. Shortly after, I left the Republican party.

I'm not one-sided, but I am anti-socialist and anti-communist. Clearly, both have taken over the Democrat party.

Also, I didn't tell you to "get off of here"

It's an expression. "Get the f*** out of here." or bullshit.

You don’t even know what you mean so how is anyone supposed to know what you mean?

Trump is doing what needs to be done and what has been promised by many before him, including homObama.

Difference is Trump is actually doing it.

I should not have laughed at your post because Sarge was a fellow service member. But I would not put anything past Musk when it comes to cutting. Seems his stock has been cut a lot here lately as has Trumps DJT.

Sure look in to it, there is no fraud in my pension so why should I worry about it?

Musk is ruthless. Why is a man not born in America practically running our economy now?

All Trump is doing is making it so the richest of the rich will get even more and the poor average person and suckers like you have less. When his Presidency is glady over the Democrats will once again have to come in and clean up the mess he leaves behind. He will collect tariffs from other countries so he can give those huge tax breaks once again to the fat cats and leave us to pay more for everything we buy. He will cause much unemployment by implementing Artificial Intelligence too fast into the system of government and it will also trickle down into state and the private sector . Everything he is doing will be a detriment to society as he cuts programs that meets the needs of people. Average people with less money and the fat cats having more and more of it will cause a deep recession at the least because average people will have less money to spend on even higher priced goods. History is repeating itself and people just cannot comprehend it yet.

The staffers who resigned worked for what was once known as the United States Digital Service, an office established during President Barack Obama’s administration after the botched rollout of Healthcare.gov, the web portal that millions of Americans use to sign up for insurance plans through the Democrat’s signature health care law.

No, they already worked there. Is it really that hard to understand? To avoid red tape, Trump took an existing agency, slightly changed the name, and handed it to Musk to run. The existing agency came with legacy employees. Who cares.

I would prefer 100% staffing by people brought in by Musk. They are more talented and less likely to create problems.

Assuming? Did you even read your own article that you posted because that is where I pulled the information from them being hired by Obama's admin and worked previously for USDS.

Also, in the same article it says the remaining personnel of that group were integrated into Doge.

What makes you think they care and how do you know they are more talented? Or perhaps they are just yes men who goes along with Musk whether they think he is wrong or not. Surely you know the implications of all they are setting out to do. You are only looking at what you think the bright side of all this will bring but have you considered what the bad side of it might be.?

And you are looking at a negative side. Just as I called you out last week for doing. That’s all you do. “Bad bad bad”.

To use the words of business today. We are pivoting to a new strategy. Setting a new paradigm. Change is necessary.

You won’t understand this, but the people he brought in were working at Tesla, Space-X, etc. making a lot more money than they are being paid by the govt. Musk has stated that some took as much as a $1MM pay cut. They were making that money in private industry because they bring immense value. They care because why else would they leave those jobs?

The people that left either lacked the intelligence or motivation to be in those kinds of positions.
 
Trump and Musk are doing exactly what the majority of Americans want them to do. If you're against them, you're against the will of The People.

Waste, abuse and fraud need to go.
