They lie and lie and lie and you keep drinking the Kool aid
And even these numbers are in the same neighborhood as losing weight by amputating a leg.
None of it means anything until there’s a 3rd party audit and they will not let that happen.
And those “savings” ignore the disastrous repercussions
I don’t care how much savings it is, as long as it’s savings. Millions is still huge
And costing? Do you care if these “savings” cost money?
So let’s have an audit
Absolutely, a proper audit would be amazing. What the nazi musk is doing is not that. Audit the MIC there’s 400 billion missing. Start there. Then investigate musk, getting billions in tax payer money. And then the rest of the slimy and corrupt government officials.
dems can order an audit. How come they haven’t?
Every department is audited at least yearly. It’s done by an independent entity. Read a book
So can the controlling GOP, how come they haven’t?
because they are already in it cutting out savings. Dems don’t order an audit because they don’t wanna answer for how much money they waste!
I’m laughing sooo hard at what Musk is doing! lmao
Correct. Good think I never said any of that
Then stop sucking their dick like they cum gold you little sycophant
but I don’t suck their dick
Your mental gymnastics to make them look good puts cirque du soliel to shame. Throat up king, nobody does it better than you.
what do you mean?
The headcount at the independent federal agency prior to DOGE’s onslaught was 48, and the average employee salary was $131,000 each year, according to Musk’s department.
‘The Inter-American Foundation, an agency whose primary action was to issue federal grants ($60million budget), has been reduced to its statutory minimum (1 active employee),’ DOGE posted to its X account on Tuesday ahead of Trump’s Address to the Joint Congress.
The agency was created by Congress in 1969 to issue grants to countries in Latin America and the Caribbean for ‘localized community-led development,’ according to its now defunct website.
Yeah, fuck that. That’s not where our money should go. Deserved to be shut down for sure.
Keep getting played by billionaires you fucking idiot.

/u/Donald_Musk is completely oblivious to the privileges printing the world’s reserve currency has bought to the US, and the obligations the US has in order to maintain the dollar’s position.
Where on Earth does the US think it is going to find the money to pay its debts going forward if it isn’t printing the money everybody else is using to buy oil?
Musk and Trump are speed-running the US’s collapse. They are simply nowhere near intelligent or experienced enough to maintain the US’s position of dominance. It is kind of fascinating to watch it play out, kind of horrifying, kind of banal.
Ultimately the American people voted for this. None of the people now destroying the US’s global position hid what they were going to do. Chaotic times ahead because if Trump has a plan it appears to be to try and bully his way to global dominance. He couldn’t even manage the taliban.
On a personal level I can say that I take almost zero pleasure in seeing the predictions I and many other people dismissed as ‘doomers’ have made over the past fifteen years (in my case, others longer). I won’t be replying to any messages from previous acquaintances that say ‘hey you were right’.
Let’s see how long it takes for the US to resemble a country like Brazil. The shanty towns are already being formed.
Guess we’ll see
There isn’t anything to see.
So then nothing to worry about, right?!
Any reply is a win for you.
Easy block.
But to be clear, the worry is instability and a world war three the author claims America needs in order to try and do anything to prevent the already happening process of dedollarisation, but nobody else wants. Losing said potential war is not a worry.
The people most at risk of Donald Trump are Americans, particularly the poor and uneducated who voted for him. Beyond the US there is no fear of Donald Trump. The guy couldn’t manage the taliban. He is a weak and exploitable leader.
Easy block.
And yet, here you are.
The people most at risk of Donald Trump are Americans, particularly the poor and uneducated who voted for him.
Everyone I know who voted for him, loves what he’s doing.
Beyond the US there is no fear of Donald Trump.
Oh great then! You have nothing to be mad about then. Right?
🤡
Tell us what you know about charity, economic development, soft power, and trade deals.
How much do u know and what r u doing about it?
Ah, you have no answer. I’m not surprised. Thanks for validating my stereotype. A part of me was hoping you were better
glad I could help
Again demonstrating your complete lack of empathy, and promoting the lack of soft power in the US. Congrats. You played yourself lol
I didn’t write the article and I’m doin doing those things just by sharing an article?! lol
No shit you didn’t write it. But you’re sharing it, so yes you are doing those things.
No shit you didn’t write it.
Glad you finally understand. Have you written the publisher and give them your oh-so-important thoughts on the article?
No no no! You said you’re reporting! Cmon now don’t change goal posts so fast!
When did I say I was a reporter though? I never said I was. I post links to news articles. People don’t have to read them
You said you reported the news. Your words.
So it was shared on much much larger platforms than Lemmy. You gonna yell at them to?
Just because I post a link, doesn’t mean people have to read it.
You loooove to move goal posts. You didn’t even have to share it? Did you think about that?
Why woudn’t I share it tho? It’s a good article and I like it
It’s not, and it’s obvious you would like it . Haha
Where should our money go?
To the billionaires pockets of course! - the donaldmusk sycophant
Plenty of problems in the US can be helped by that money
Yes, but conservatives are not trying to solve problems. The agencies they are dismantling are there to solve problems. Where’s that money going to go?
Billionaires’ pockets.
Like?
u don’t think us has any problems?
Answer the question, cuck.
What question? ARe you saying the US doesn’t have any problems? Is that why you want me to tell you the problems? Because you don’t see any?!
Can you read? Nice trying to manipulate the conversation.
It has oodles of problems. Education cuts, environmental cuts, supporting putin and ignoring allies. Anti Semitism, anti queen politics, removing access to Healthcare like abortion. There are MANY
Cool. Maybe the money saved can go toward to those things.
Then why are they gutting them?
