Talk:DOGE

There is no DOGE. It is not an executive department created by Congress.

Ramaswamy has already bolted the arrangement as No.2 flunky to run for gov of OH.

DOGE is simply an Office within the Executive Offices of the White House, leading to a duplication of effort with OMB. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 10:26, January 20, 2025 (EST)

Update: BREAKING: Vivek Ramaswamy out at DOGE.

Again, RobSmith, in his narcissistic rage, one step ahead of the news cycle. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 11:54, January 20, 2025 (EST)

DOGE is, and never has been much more than, sloganeering or a psyop. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 12:26, January 20, 2025 (EST)

Cutting $2 trillion from the $7 trillion federal budget is akin to the "Shock Therapy" the Russian Federation experienced in the 1990s, not so bad as with shortened life expectancies but no walk in the park, either. People have gotten used to their "freebies", like Obamacare, and will react negatively if they feel threatened. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 19:08, January 20, 2025 (EST)

• DOGE Faces Legal Challenge Immediately After Trump Inauguration.

Oh, so now the government has to pay legal bills for its duplication of efforts.

"DOGE wasn’t created by Congress, and its legal powers remain unclear. The lawsuit argues that DOGE qualifies as a “federal advisory committee” and must follow the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). This includes public meetings, balanced representation, and filing a congressional charter."

A 6th grade student of civics could have told you this was going to happen. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 07:06, January 22, 2025 (EST)

Wouldncha know it?

User:Conservative would cite a bunch of USAID subsidized sources in creation of this article. Someday User:conservative make actually learn what the words "collaboration" and "communication" mean between editors. RobS^{I don’t really care, Margaret} 12:52, February 9, 2025 (EST)

"DOGE and antiquated and nonfunctional U.S. government computer systems"

Oh, does this mean we have to spend more money to upgrade?

That section needs more context or it should be removed.

Once again, User:Conservative shilling for Democrats and liberals. RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 15:47, March 7, 2025 (EST)

Musk disagreement with Trump

is fairly simple to understand. The $190 billion (of the $2 Trillion targeted) is just a band-aid to help Bessant make interest payments for a few months. Yes, there are some permanent underlying reforms, but still not anywhere near what's needed. The Big Beautiful Bill maintains most of those abusive spending habits. Why? As a foreign born, Musk doesn't understand US politics. Radical reform can't be implemented before the 2026 midterms. It'll cut middle class welfare and provoke a backlash among voters. Spending reform has to be implemented incrementally.

Musk's dispute is really with [[Congress], who wouldn't vote for such a radical reforms and budget cuts anyway. Trump understands the realities. Musk's dreams are what I'd call "pie in the sky conservativism" being that he's a foreigner and hasn't really experienced the American political systems and its traditions.
