That DOGE thing sure fell off the map quickly. Quite a disappointment.

I can’t believe that Trump or Musk would back down just because the Uniparty doesn’t like DOGE. Something else must be going on here.


My recollection is that this was a short term program to get things started. It was not meant to be long term.

“short term program to get things started”

That is my recollection as well.

It gave the cabinet secretaries the data they needed to do their jobs.

Exactly!!
It could only identify areas of waste. It had no authority to shut things down. In some things the director of the executive agency cut shut something down or done by RIFFs (challenged by the courts) in others it required a new budget.
