Judge for yourself. Really good interview Not sure how you can listen to this and criticize this effort But I’m sure some of the usual suspects will say something stupid like Fox News derp derp

 
Excellent interview. Reveals exactly what DOGE is doing and their goals and progress. This should have been done long ago but the powers that be were cowards.

The fact remains that 0.15% of the federal workforce was laid off, mostly from voluntary retirements and leaving on their own. Yet the leftist looneys on this board will say that fact is wrong and DOGE doesn't know what it is doing. They'll say look on TV and read about it in the NYT or the WaPo. Look at all of the people they show being laid off, crying, leaving their jobs that they've had for years. The facts say otherwise. Those people were essentially not needed and a waste of money.

Keep it up, DOGE. We've needed this for decades.
 
Clinton did something very similar and was lauded. The fact is Trump and Musk could cure cancer and those on the left would rather die of cancer than accept the cure.

I do get the pushback from Musk coming on stage with a chain saw and the seemingly flippant attitudes when people are losing their jobs. Could be done with more tact. But at the end of the day, it wouldn't matter because the leftist media would twist and misrepresent and add hyperbole to everything anyways.

Now the tariffs.....................too much too soon creating way too much uncertainty.
 
I'm on the left. I watched the interview. If what they are saying is 100% true, sure sounds good. Everyone lies though.

I wholeheartedly believe in eliminating as much waste as we can. And I have no doubt it's rampant.

I just want Bi partisan individuals doing the work. And frankly I don't trust Musk. He seems to be a direct beneficiary of a lot of policies laid out by this administration.

I think that's a fair way to look at this.

I think it’s fair to not completely trust musk. A guy with that much money can have outsized influence. I also think it’s good to be cautious and evaluate the end result. Musk even said that

The off the wall outage is by some is what I think is silly. More importantly for any of this to have a lasting effect Congress will have to pass legislation. That’s where I’m dubious of the long term results. Both sides benefit from waste and corruption

Those losing their jobs in the federal workforce, and that's what we're talking about, are 0.15% of the total federal workforce. And most of them were voluntary. But to see the MSM, you'd think the federal workforce was gutted when that's clearly not the case. Not even close.

I don't like seeing anyone losing their jobs. I had a couple of those experiences in my lifetime with companies being bought, restructured. It's unpleasant. It's a fact of life, however. The fact is that the federal workforce needs trimmed a lot more.

Yeah he is just executing the plan democrats and dem surrogates have voiced over the years.

Joe Gebbia voted for Hillary and Biden but shifted to Trump in '24. He has contributed heavily to Democrats.

Anthony Armstrong has never been politically active.

Steve Davis has been non-ideological according to those who know him.

Tom Krause also has shown no ideological leaning in the past.

These are the only I could identify. They all seem to be focused on business and not politics. They joined DOGE because the business of government was lacking, not because they were partisan Republicans.

.15. thats ridiculous, thats' 3 people out of 2,000 federal workers. .15, that's my blood alcohol levels when i golf.

I want to hear what the lefty looneys on this board have to say about their claim that DOGE was full of a bunch of gamer kids playing on their computers. DOGE is full of CEO's, businessmen, entrepreneurs, none of which are kids or gamers, who know business, finance, economics and common sense. We need more of those types running our country, not the Schumers, Pelosis, Jeffries, AOCs, Omars, Crocketts and other politicians who don't belong in public service and who don't know a stitch about how to run a business or a government.

So where are you, looneys? Explain yourselves. And don't give us that BS that you never said it. You know you're on the leftist propaganda echo chamber who has been saying this since DOGE was created. I dare you to deny it.

I'm right here. You're another one like bb80 who hides behind his keyboard and likes to hurl insults. For the record I haven't commented on Doge here and don't have a strong opinion. Having experience at auditing I have no qualms about that but would prefer a professional firm that has experience in this type of thing like a Deloitte or someone along those lines be involved to some extent.

They should go on CNN. Would that network do it? Probably not.

I’m here clown shoes You’re fake virtue isn’t fooling anyone

. You’re the one who said he was going run and hide from me
 
Yeah doge is a winner for trump. The tariffs are really the glaring problem I just can’t get behind. Hope I’m wrong.

go F-yourself. Was I responding to you blimpy? Once again, so tough behind the keyboard, you'd never call anyone on this board clown shoes or any other insult to their face. You don't have the balls for it.

I can understand the concern but the fact is Biden never rescinded the tarrifs Trump put in China And now the euros are coming to the table to work with Trump. The story in tarrifs has yet to be written. I think you can make an argument for and against. It’s all about how it’s done. The General gist of what Trump is doing is sound

I thought I was on ignore clown shoes. You’re so classy. I’d call you a retard or clown shoes to your face because you are.

You’re a fraud. You try to play this virtuous and pious act but you’re no different than the intolerant lunatic left retards keying teslas or the BLM thugs who burned looted and murdered.

Not a pepe from frauds like you about the genocide of Christians all over the. World or the boers in Africa from racists like you.

So take your holier than thou act and shove ir up your ass

You're the unhinged one and have exposed nothing, pus-y
 
I’m not the interment tough guy who challenged someone on internet to a fight o before a Pitt football game clown shoes.

I'm not challenging you to anything, you're the one who claimed no fear in saying something to my face and I just said you are more than welcome anytime to do that if you so desire

What's the matter? Calling you a lefty looney hurt your feelings? Hits a little too close to home?

I've got news for you, tough guy. Acting all tough and like you could beat up someone doesn't prove a thing. Your side is still wrong. So take your tough guy talk somewhere else. I'm not buying it.

BTW, I'd much rather have ultra successful businessmen and entrepreneurs doing my auditing than some junior accounting hacks at some bean counting firm that's part of the problem.

I don't have time for your nonsense. I really don't care what you think. You're irrelevant.

Never said I could or would beat someone up. Just questioned if any of you alpha males would have the courage to throw your insults around in person instead of the safety of the keyboard.

And you just showed how ignorant you are about how things work in the business world. Go ahead with your little maga dream that the world's richest man is looking out for an insignificant jabroni like you.

So if you don't have time for my nonsense, don't respond.
