DOGE literally COST us, and is still costing us, money.
CockBrother on
DOGE gutted investigative organizations and regulatory agencies allowing billionaires like Musk free reign.
Don’t play dumb WSJ – the point wasn’t improving government for all. The point was getting government out of the way for a select few.

DOGE cost taxpayers at least $20 BILLION in wasteful ‘early retirement’ enticements.
And now we’re going to need to replace all those people.
Just pissing away money.

We can’t keep going at this rate. I see another 2008 in our future… possibly worse than 2008.

Its not fair to say that DOGE didnt do much. They fucked up all sorts of things and made everything much much worse.

DOGE was there to steal data and put in back doors.

Thats the whole point, bankrupt the country, kill SS, Medicare and all other social programs.
None of this is happening on a whim, this has been well planned by republicans for decades.

Tax Cuts for the Rich is the only reason we have deficits, starting with Reagan.

I’m just waiting for the Orange turd rapist to come out and place the tariff blame on Biden. “Biden is an evil man, he started this tariff trade war to hurt ME! Biden and the Democrats want to destroy the country, SAD!

Not true!
DOGE made things worse.

You mean the party of fiscal responsibility and a balanced budget only made things worse!? You also mean to tell me that a group of political terrorists under the disguise of consultants didn’t actually do anything but waste money!? And you also, again, mean to tell me we don’t have an accurate count of the tariff money being taken in!?
I’m shocked.

DOGE is just another scam by grifters who were looking for free/cheap data they could then use to make more money. It was never about saving money.
I will always blame Trump supporters for this Trump inflation on steroids.

Oh, DOGE did just fine. Our data is in billionaires hands so we are vulnerable than ever, NASA budget is cut so no competition for Elon, regulations are gutted so free reign for corporates, so DOGE did just fine for its task.

This is largely a nothing burger as most policies haven’t had a chance to take effect. Next year will be a very interesting report card on the effects of DOGE, ICE and tariffs.

Does anyone know where the tariff money is actually going? Obviously the plan was all a lie but is Trump just pocketing it?

Doge did exactly what Musk wanted. They gutted every agency that audits, investigates, or monitors his companies.

Of course you can expect negative reporting from this leftist ANTIFA, anti-business rag!

We have one trillion dollars to service debt, but no money to provide universal healthcare for all.

DOGE did a lot. They launched a cyberattack against multiple federal agencies, gained important financial and personal data for nearly every working American, setup back doors to each database, and moonwalked out.

DODGE did exactly what it was supposed to do. Steal your data and delete all the evidence.

DOGE fucking did plenty. It has all of our data and it will be using it to fuck us for the next 50+ years.

The point of DOGE was to steal data for Peter Thiel.
All the nonsense about cost cutting was a ruse and it’s remarkable that hardly any outlets pushed back against it.
SinisterSnoot on
Nonsense, DOGE hollowed out all of our financial regulatory agencies and several other institutions that existed to protect the US consumer from people like the ones running DOGE.
Mission accomplished

If only the economy had the same growth rate as DOGE’s volatility

Is any of this actually surprising? Isn’t this exactly what experts predicated would happen?

Doge cuts to the IRS alone could [cost America up to $500 billion in lost tax collection.](https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/24/tax-revenue-collected-by-the-irs-set-to-plummet-report-says.html)
