Comment on Trump team shows American Dream reminder as DOGE cuts more waste in latest move

  So you think we should just let 15 million dollars go to waste

  No, I think we should go after the real money wasters first: the military.

  Then we should go after the billionaires and tax the shit out of them.

  Only then should we go after insignificant sources of waste.

    Ok, then how come the Democrats never did that when they had all the power?

      Your question is whataboutism and a logical fallacy.

      I’m not comparing with Democrats or anything the Democrats did or didn’t do. The Democrats are just as awful as the Republicans because they all belong to the fat-cat politician class, but with one crucial difference: they’re not fucking fascists.

      But I digress. This is beside the point.

      The point is: Trump and his South African backer pretend to go after waste and they don’t. If they did, DOGE would be busy gutting the Pentagon instead of USAID. But they’re not doing that. In fact, they just gave the Pentagon more pork.

        And my point is he’s doing more than the democrats did the entire time they had all the power. :)
