Trump 47

I thought was a weirdo before, still think he is. But I appreciate the fraud and waste he's uncovering. If he was truly making nazi signs just to get under the skin of his haters then shame on him.

Im replying here because I don't want to clog up the meme thread any more than I already have.

I don't think you have the right definition of fraud and waste. Stuff you don't like isn't fraud and the long term consequences of what DOGE is doing are going to cost us way more than any savings it generates. You wanna save real money in the federal government you have to go after Defense, Social Security, and Medicaid/medicare. To his credit Trump has shown a willingness to make deep cuts to defense. I think the level he proposed is nuts but he says alot of things I think are nuts. Going after the other two is gonna seriously piss off the voters that got him elected. I don't think Elon cares about them though and Republicans have shown a willingness to do things that would have been political suicide a decade ago so who knows what will happen there. But hey, making something up about transgender mice plays way better to his base than saying you are on your own after age 65 when it comes to health insurance.

So you’ve conclusively determined that he’s uncovered fraud and waste, yet give him the benefit of the doubt on the Nazi stuff.

Marks are gonna mark.

Also, this. You can't definitely say something you saw with your own eyes is wrong, but willingly buy into any lie because its your side doing the lying.

Saying he made up transgender mice is in and of itself, a lie. So here we are.

If you don't believe they've uncovered actual fraud and waste in the government then you're just lying to yourself. IMO

If there has been fraud uncovered, why no arrests? Fraud isn't legal.

Waste is more difficult as I see waste on a daily basis. The problem is that waste is somewhat harder to define.

For example, now that I work in the logistics conference room, I've met several logistics guys. One of them had his last day on Friday. He took the resignation, and the offered early retirement.

In my opinion, they could have started with only offering the VERA early retirement, which is a screaming good deal and I would take it if they did not exclude docs. Everyone I have talked to would have taken it too. Giving them up to 8 months of pay on top of early retirement is a HUGE waste of taxpayer money. It also has created an incentive to be in an unimportant job. If your job is important, you get no extra pay and more work because others are leaving. If you are in an unimportant job, Elon is giving away free money to get rid of you. This is simple incentive economics and they screwed it up royally.
