A new report by The New York Times has revealed that while DOGE did fire lots of federal workers, slash budgets, and cancel grants and programs, the end result not only didn't save the $1 trillion Musk promised -- federal spending actually went up.
My guess is now agencies are having to pay out a fuck ton in overtime and temp/traveler positions. …which was an expected outcome from day one. Don’t think of this as a blunder: Elon, Trump, etc are enemies of the United States, and crippling our mission while simultaneously making it even more costly was their goal.
No, for the most part, those agencies are prohibited from paying overtime. A lot of what was supposed to happen was jobs being replaced by AI. That doesn’t mean the AI works or is effective. It just means it replaced.
A lot of the “cuts” were for programs that had already been funded… the money was already spent. Agreements and contracts were cancelled. Some of those surely had penalties involved. Some were for things they actually needed, and so they’ve had to renegotiate again with worse terms because the government just proved it can’t be trusted.
He means they’re sabotaging and kneecapping the systems in place so at a later date they can say “see it doesn’t work” and their base is so smooth brained that they won’t connect dot 1 to dot 2.

They’re trying to prove the government doesn’t work by making the government not work.
It’s what MAGA and progressives have in common.
the fuck?
