Guess the entire world hasn’t collapsed just because Trump became president. Even tho Lemmy wants you to think everything is worse. :)

While I may not like everything doge is doing, we’ve been high on our own supply for to long. Balancing the budget is going to be painful but it needs to be done.

Agreed.

I'm not in love with the "let's mow down everything and ask questions later" approach for all things. But in this case, I think good will come out of it, in spite of some brief pains.

The fact is that neither party has done any shit like cleaning up these numbers for as long as I can remember. So on the whole, I think DOGE is doing more good than bad.

Plus I love the chaos it's causing on Lemmy! lmao

I actually hope there will be exact numbers, programs, and names, and what their justification was for all of these programs. BOTH sides have been wasting our money for a long time. I want names. lol

That’s my issue but that’s what I expected.

The last time someone tried to do this was Clinton. He laid off over 100k.

Watching the partisan lose their shit is just a bonus. They’re only against it because Trump is doing it even though they’ll benefit the most from it.

Yep! If Harris won and was doing this exact same things, Lemmy and Democrats would be shouting for joy. lol
