You don't seem to understand there are no broader efforts to scrutinize government spending, only keyword searches for "gotcha" DEI terms and a few million in a contract.
DOGE is political theater for rubes, while congress blows out the national debt for their billionaire tax breaks.
You're walking down the street with a billionaire.
A thief approaches, but only robs you.
Would your complaint be that the billionaire should have been robbed too?
Taxation is coercion. Instead of resenting those who manage to keep more of what they earn, consider that billionaires are the ones taking risks, investing, and creating jobs. If anything, the real issue is government waste, not who’s being “robbed” the least. To that extent, what DOGE is doing, at least for the moment, is something positive, regardless of the political spin around it.
