So Elon Musk and crew found truly epic amounts of and fraud. Finally an opportunity to shrink government and reduce corruption and the deficit.
Then congress shot it right down. Even the Republicans mostly voted against it
What the hell was that? Was there ever a coherent explanation? No further attempts, just dead forever?
What was the plan to fix this sort of thing now, just everyone moved on? No further discussion, no second try, just a giant finger to the voters and country.
Help me understand
Access? Were they jealous?
Crevo threads were better.
If you don’t understand it then how do you know it’s not fraud? They’ve seen it, they’re brilliant people, and they say it is, so what evidence do you have to refute their access to the data and their level of expertise? Especially when Musk vouches for what they’re saying. That guy is a genius.
The fact that there have been no consequences. If this data was the result of fraud why has no one been arrested? Was any of it corrected? Any of it shut down? The fact that a year later all we have now is people asking why nothing has come from all DOGE’s noise PROVES they did nothing.
The only thing Musk a genius at is taking over companies that were innovating, squeezing out all the people actually inventing new stuff, and taking all the credit. He’s a conman. If he vouches for somebody you know that person is a conman too.
Do you hear what circular reasoning you’re using? The evidence of fraud must be a stupid mistake because if there was fraud the people benefitting from the fraud (politicians) would have stuck their necks out to bite the very hand that feeds them.
If there really is fraud that is benefitting the politicians (like getting illegals to pad the voter rolls so their elections can be stolen) it makes perfect sense that the politicians won’t do anything about the fraud.
But the question of whether there is fraud depends totally on the evidence, which you haven’t seen or can’t understand. Neither have I or can I. But we’ve got video footage of “learing centers” that have no kids and all kinds of other fraud - in HUGE monetary amounts that was being aided and abetted by politicians and their bureaucrat office workers. Given all that, there’s no way I in my unprivileged position with no access to the data would accuse the DOGE guys of being too stupid to understand what is and isn’t fraud.
Here you go: DOGE was always a scam.
BWAHAHAHAHA. Wow there’s some circular reasoning “the fraud must have been real, because if it wasn’t real the politicians wouldn’t have ignored it”. Keeping in mind of course if the fraud WAS real we wouldn’t be relying on politicians to do anything, Trump’s Justice Department would.
Not true
The circular reason you’re laughing at is your own. I was paraphrasing what you said as the reason for saying the DOGE guys were too stupid to see there wasn’t any fraud.
The fraud needs to be clawed back and prosecuted. But judges and Congress won’t do anything to allow that to happen. I’m not sure whether DOGE has been able to make referrals to the DOJ, since their purpose wasn’t as a law enforcement body but as an investigation into how fraud is being done.
Bkmk
NUH-UUUHHHHH!!!
