Cant wait for Trump and Vice President FUsk to start cutting staff at the Social Security Administration, where staffing is already operating at a 50 year low.

Come on DOGE!

Start making drastic cuts to Social Security staff so 72 MILLION American's wont get their monthly checks on time.

Let's Goooooooooooooo!!!
Yeah, let's run the country with no revenue. That will cut the deficit to zero in no time!

P.S. Maybe folks like you are also worried DOGE will refund 20% of DOGE savings to citizens? Let's say DOGE cuts $400 Billion, and there are 150 million taxpayers, each person would get a check for $533? Might help the GOP in the midterms.

Youre hysterical.
You live in a FANTASY WORLD.

No taxpayer is going to get any DOGE "savings" given that the country is $36 Trillion in debt.

I believe his goal is $1 Trillion.


$1 Trillion.
The National Debt is $36 Trillion.
That's a cut of a whole 2.77%

You've been duped again.
Shocker.

Since it's such a piddly reduction does that mean you are only offended by the manner in which the cuts are being made, and not the cuts themselves?

The DOGE cuts are nothing but a "side-show".

DOGE, and by extension, Elno's de facto authority as token PM, or whatever unelected bureaucrat title they want to give him, is all just bread and circuses for the MAGA cult members.

When you see a guy here on this message board actually think that the taxpayer could be getting checks back in the mail for $533 - - - it really makes one wonder what kind of "meds" they are on or if they are just that terribly ignorant and/or NAIVE.

It's hard to fathom that some of these people posting here that consistently drink the Orange Kool-Aid actually went to college, let alone a place like Cal.

lol

If you really believed the DOGE bull**** then 100% of the "savings" should be returned to taxpayers not returned to the government where it will be used to offset another trillion or so of tax cuts. This is just a libertarian hit job on enemies.

Liberals have shown zero interest in wanting the money returned. They kind of want the government to spend and abuse it.

Hopefully, Kash will get rid of Biden's Stasi and their supporting staff.
