Musk and Ramaswamy’s DOGE Agenda: Trimming Federal Fat By the BILLIONS

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s DOGE initiative is letting the Establishment know it’s serious about cutting.

They’re talking $500 billion. Annually!

And that’s just the start.

They’re also pointing at data like the USDA’s low 6% office occupancy.

So they’re going to make it a requirement that federal employees work in the office, five days a week.

They’ve predicted this would cause a large amount of people quitting, which they said they gladly welcome.

Imagine how many in the Establishment this has enraged.

The gravy train has come to an end.

CBS News reports:

Billionaires Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are sharing details about how their newly created Department of Government Efficiency — which isn’t an official government department — plans to take aim at paring federal spending, with the two writing in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece on Wednesday that they are aiming to cut $500 billion in annual spending.

The announcement of DOGE has raised a host of questions, from whether Musk and Ramaswamy will have the authority to make changes in federal spending, typically controlled by Congress, as well as the group’s powers and how it will operate. Musk and Ramaswamy provided answers to some of those questions in their opinion piece, arguing that President-elect Donald Trump has the authority to cut spending authorized by Congress.

While Musk and Ramaswamy said they “expect to prevail” in cutting costs, there have been plenty of examples throughout the decades of efforts aimed at reining in federal spending, which have had only limited results. For instance, President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s tapped businessman J. Peter Grace to recommend reforms, resulting in about 2,500 recommendations for cutting spending, most of which were never implemented.

Which federal programs don’t have authorization?

The programs mentioned by Musk and Ramaswamy are relatively tiny compared with other areas that are unauthorized, such as veterans’ health care.

The next biggest sources of expired authorizations, after veterans’ health care, include programs that invest in opioid treatment, the State Department and housing assistance. Some smaller programs with expired funding include Head Start, NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA. The latter provides weather forecasts, severe storm warnings and climate monitoring, among other tasks.

NASA is a “smaller program” ?

I think DOGE should look into that.

Their annual budget is $25,000,000,000. That’s $25 BILLION.

What are doing with all that money?

Testing out how to float around, looking like Robert Smith from The Cure with their hair-sprayed hairdos?

Were they truly floating in ‘zero gravity’, their hair would look like this:

Not sure if they should be getting $25 billion every year.

Meanwhile, Planned Parenthood is running around in a panic, cutting up whoever they can before funds run out.
