As I'm sure do many others here. I don't know why I even respond to the dude, he never answers a question. 

 

The Democrats, socialist, and America haters are becoming more and more frothingly irrational

Funny. Usually I get criticized by Trumpists for linking to information in reply to their assertions instead of composing a reply myself. Apparently, they need the texts dumbed down.

Here Are The Biggest DOGE Hoaxes And Inaccuracies—As $8 Million Canceled ICE Contract Listed At $8 Billion

 As billionaire Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency scours federal agencies for cost savings, Musk and his team have repeatedly made baseless or false claims about government spending—or exaggerated the level of fraud and waste uncovered at some agencies.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/conormurray/2025/02/19/here-are-the-biggest-doge-hoaxes-and-inaccuracies-as-8-million-canceled-ice-contract-listed-at-8-billion/

 

DOGE shared its receipts — and some of them don’t match
“Everyone is very well-aware they’re repeating the wrong numbers,” said one manager at a company on DOGE’s list of cuts.

But among the 1,100-plus contracts purportedly canceled, POLITICO found:

• Contracts that had not yet been awarded
• Instances where a single pot of money is listed multiple times — tripling or quadrupling the amount of savings claimed
• Purchase agreements that have no record of being canceled, but were instead stripped of language related to diversity, equity and inclusion
• Contract savings identified by DOGE that do not match with records they refer to in the Federal Procurement Data System
• Contracts where the underlying document is for an entirely different contract

Elon Musk makes false claim about billion-dollar National Park survey

Elon Musk claimed in a Fox News interview Thursday night that the Department of Government Efficiency, known as DOGE, frequently uncovers "billions" in government waste, citing a supposed $1 billion survey about National Parks as an example. 

CBS News found no evidence that the Department of the Interior spent or planned to spend that much on a survey or on any single contract. ..

 "For example, [a] simple survey that was literally a 10-question survey [that] you could do with SurveyMonkey, costs about $10,000, the government was being charged almost a billion dollars for that."

So all you have is "news reports". Tell us where the errors are on the DOGE website.

 

Its all hoaxes, right? No waste in TRILLIONS of dollars? No FRAUD? Is that what you are saying?

They simply pointed out that Musk hasn't offered any evidence to back up his claim. Or maybe yYou got some links to actual facts that back up what Musk claims? We know he's been promoting falsehoods. Why would anyone believe these claims without genuine evidence.

I didn't make the accusation, you did and your proof is yahoo news and snope. 
There are no facts in that article just opinions.

When you hire the guy to do the brakes on your car (its ok, we know you do) I bet you start complaining about how dirty it is as soon as he gets the tire off. 
Yes, thats a ridiculous  analogy but thats the point.

Do you suffer from index finger paralysis? There were plenty of specifics in the articles I cited. Do you need me to spoon feed them to you?

And your resort to the usual trumpist dodge of claiming that the sources are questionable. But you don't offer any evidence of your own to counteract the information contained in those sources.

 

As for "Dude followis me around', this is a forum open two members of aseanow.com. It is not a gated community. You think your comments are entitled to immunity from criticism?

My question still stand.  No matter whether you agree or disagree with Musk and TRUMP, the U.S. is spending like a drunk sailor on a walking street.

 

There needs to be a reqork of the systems.  Consier that the U.S. is suposed to be the texhleader int ehcountry but stilluses a paper system in a mine shaft to handle retirment claims.

 

Fine you disagree BUT where is the plan to defeat this issue.  hell, even Obama and his people said there was a problem.  Slickwilly cut down the government.

 

Where is the DNC plan to cut down on government spending?

 

At least TRUMP is doing something.

Exposing fraud and eliminating it. Streamlining and injecting integrity into the process. Only the fraudsters and woke morons on the left fail to see the immense net benefit being delivered by Trump and his D.O.G.E. team and would rather resort to domestic terrorism firebombing, torching tesla vehicles and dealerships. When the losers on the left got nothing, they GOT NOTHING and use violence. The dems are imploding as we speak, leaderless, (but they got Jasmine Crocket) rudderless, lost in space, without a plan or direction. Trump HAS DESTROYED them....lol....wasn't Trump supposed to be in prison??

No. I don't know whether you are confused or just plain ignorant about this issue. What's below comes from the Marxist-Leninists at Fox News

 

Trump budget bill extending first-term tax cuts survives House vote

"An amendment negotiated by House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington, R-Texas, and conservatives on his panel would also force lawmakers to make $2 trillion in cuts, or else risk the $4.5 trillion for Trump's tax cuts getting reduced by the difference. "

"Several fiscal conservatives had demanded more assurances from House GOP leadership that Republicans would seek deep spending cuts to offset the cost of Trump's priorities."
