For anyone saying these useless grifters can't be fired, remember the Biden administration fired federal workers and military personel for not taking the jab. And I didn't hear one Dem stand up and say something for these workers. These people suck.

Also, I'm convinced there's some sort of fraud and kickback schemes involved with these payments that DOGE is uncovering. But the FBI and other agencies don't have the manpower nor the intellect to investigate them. But I have no doubt people should be going to jail. I just lack faith that it will happen.

Washington DC is governed by the "at will" employment doctrine. This means either the employee or employer can terminate employment at any time for any reason or no reason. Of course, employees with contracts can have condition of termination written into their contracts but without a contract stipulating conditions government employee can be terminated without cause.

If government employees have contracts preventing them from being terminated without cause that would make me a very angry citizen. Very few private sector employees have such protection. If would result in government only growing and never shrinking to meet budgetary limitations.

It should all go to pay down the debt and lower the budget.

Then with the lower budget, cut taxes. on everything.

If they said they'd use it to help eliminate the IRS and Fed Income tax, I'd be all for it for sure.

Link to EO pasted below: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presiden...esidents-department-of-government-efficiency/

This undermines the assertions by Trumps opposition that DOGE is a rogue agency unauthorized by congress.

The United States Digital Service (USDS) is a technology unit housed within the Executive Office of the President of the United States and established by Congressional appropriations created under the Obama administration, it was merely renamed to DOGE. Love whomever came up with this idea!

I am seeing a lot of misdirected blame for the bloated government as DOGE fires thousands of government workers. The little people on the bottom rung of the ladder are not to blame for crying over losing their jobs. Sure some of them might be liberal Democrats, but the blame for the largesse in government should be directed to the people who created this massive government bureaucracy that got all these people hired in the first place. I don't want to see anyone lose their job. It is an awful, traumatic event in their lives. It hurts them and their families. But this also happens in the private sector all the time. Government workers are simply getting what private sector workers face all the time. And it is a good thing for the country even if it hurts the people being fired. The overreaction of these workers shows just how unrealistically comfortable they became in a government that never cared what they were doing or how much it cost the taxpayers.

The guy who runs the printer that prints the checks paid to political cronies is not at fault for the corruption. He was hired to do his job by someone who allowed the corruption to begin in the first place. Firing the check printer does not solve the problem any more than wiping mold off a shower wall stop the mold. The mold will grow back unless you resolve the root cause. We need to find out who authorized all this waste and abuse and fire them all. Prosecute those who broke the law as a warning to anyone else who is thinking abusing taxpayer money is a good idea.
