Like Dirksen said “A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you’re talking real money.”
“A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you’re talking real money.”
DOGE demonstrated in the few weeks it was active the US government is wasting hundreds of billions of dollars. As a nation we are behaving like the spoiled child who spent his inheritance on expensive toys, alcohol and drugs, sexual depravity and then accumulated a mountain of debt. The day of reckoning finally arrives when lenders say no more, the assets are sold of for pennies on the dollar, friends and family disappear, and the penniless wastrel is ends up begging in the streets.
DOGE was a wakeup call for serious minded Americans, before it was essentially coopted and neutered by the bureaucracy. Despite hundreds of billions in waste identified by DOGE the scoundrels in Congress were only able to come up with $9 billion in savings to cut in the just passed rescission bill, demonstrating they are content to enjoy the orchestra on the Titanic while the ship goes down.
