Even that isn't what's happened here. If we continue the analogy it's more like stop paying for wifi, then later discover you need it for work so sign up again at and pay an extra fee.

There is so much conflation (maybe intentional, I dunno) between the goal of cutting spending and the method that DOGE employed. If DOGE went in methodically and actually cut waste and fraud I'd cheer them. What actually happened was a mixture of:

- Cutting things without knowing the details and then later having bring them back at extra cost (e.g. employees)

- Cutting things regardless of consequence based on ideological views (or just randomly?)

- Not actually saving anything and just lying about it
