DOGE; the department of Government Efficiency

If I wanted my government efficient, I would live in a dictatorship. But in any case, What government programs do you want to cut?

  • Ten percent of the post offices.
  • Both Littoral combat ship classes
  • Milk price supports, and other programs

Isn’t that already happening?

We need to end the program. Those barges cost money to keep in service. Jobs for the boys.

About half of the entire Department of War, with an emphasis on the ability to project force. Everything looking like a nail never does anything but cause problems.

I’ll start by cutting sinecures dressed up as nonexistant Cabinet offices and awarded to inexperienced ideologues as a brass ring in exchange for letting themselves be taken advantage of.

Not sure about the number of post offices, but the frequency of home delivery.

Space Force.

Agreed on these. Drop 2 or 3 days of delivery for mail.

Space Farce? Geez.

Department of Homeland Security should go.

I am not arguing for no security but that is just a money sinkhole. There are 17 separate intelligence agencies in the US.

Maybe a lot more depending on how you count:

The Washington Post reported in 2010 that there were 1,271 government organizations and 1,931 private companies in 10,000 locations in the United States that were working on counterterrorism, homeland security, and intelligence, and that the intelligence community as a whole would include 854,000 people holding top-secret clearances.[5] - SOURCE

Maybe that can be done better.

Well for what it is worth I am certain any aspects of the counter-intelligence apparatus that may have investigated Trump any time over the past ten years or so will be shut down in a stunning display of efficiency.

Kristi Noem is going to take DHS to a gravel pit and put it out of it’s misery.

Odd number presidents

So - we want to create a new Government department to monitor Government efficiency?

Seems rather redundant and should be the first on the block.

That’s happening, at least on paper, whether we want it or not.

And here I thought this thread was going to make jokes about Doge coin. Are they really planning to call it DOGE? That’s hilarious.

See above link. :slight_smile:

It is a doge joke, just one made by a person who now has a lot of influence with people in power. Elon tweeted this yesterday:

Next up: the Smol Business Administration?

I nearly googled myself silly when I read the announcement, convinced it must be some Onion headline run wild. Reality keeps overtaking satire on the right.

More like Chonk.
