The real question isn’t how much will DOGE save us, it’s how much will DOGE cost us?
Or as Sir Issac Newton put it, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
So for all the “savings” we get from eliminating USAID, IRS agents, Veteran Affairs, National Nuclear Security Administration, FEMA, etc.:
How many family farms will go bankrupt?
How many more veterans will commit suicide for lack of support?
How many American families will go bankrupt when a natural disaster strikes?
How many people will starve to death in famine areas while crops rot in our fields?
How many Americans will lose their homes?
How many veterans will lose access to needed healthcare we promised to give them?
How much tax fraud will occur, resulting in money we fail to collect in lawful taxes, that will give Republicans the rationale to gut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security?
How many small businesses will go bankrupt because of lack of loans?
How will our nuclear weapons be protected?
How many Americans won’t be able to afford healthcare?
How much more fraud will occur due to the removal of checks and balances?
How much influence will America lose in world affairs?
Will these actions lead to stagflation?
And these questions just scratch the surface of the possible repercussions.
Just to be crystal clear, I am in favor of removing waste and eliminating fraud in government spending. But this requires knowledgeable people reviewing and UNDERSTANDING what is being spent, as well as the impact the spending has on Americans. You know, someone who is willing to ask questions, not someone who thinks they know everything.
We need someone who knows how to handle a scalpel or even a knife, not someone who drives a bulldozer.
It also needs someone who is independent and impartial, not someone who already gets billions of American tax dollars and expects to get billions more.
