Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was/is.
Spending in FY2025 was not only higher than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.
(The National Debt Is Up an unheard of $1 Trillion in just the last 2 months!)

Also the little bit of spending DOGE did cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths...

Yes DOGE was an abject failure...

But look on the bright side:
it hurt everyone except the billionaires,
ended all the investigations into Elon's companies and
Musk got access all your private data!

Prosperity!

Banksy: Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was/is.

On the contrary, it was remarkably successful, achieving many of its goals.

DOGE destroyed many Americans' faith in government, medical research, and education.

DOGE destroyed the careers of tens of thousands of non-partisan government employees.

DOGE sparked a rise in White nationalism.

DOGE harmed the poorest among us, even leading to the deaths of poor people of color around the world by feeding USAID "into the wood chipper" and ending American soft power.

DOGE boosted our foreign adversaries.

DOGE committed the largest data breach in world history.

All done exactly as planned.

Trump’s Plan to Eliminate Waste, Fraud and Abuse From Budget Successfully Achieves 13% Increase in Waste, Fraud and Abuse! Cheers MAGA!

"Government waste, fraud and abuse rose 13% last year."

"The Trump administration pinned a lot of its fiscal agenda on the idea that waste, fraud and abuse constituted a huge % of federal spending,
and that getting rid of it would allow the government to slash taxes without cutting meaningful programs.
Before the 2024 election, Trump's budget cutter Elon Musk promised voters he would slash $2 trillion from the $7 trillion budget."

"Instead, the Trump administration has increased federal spending."

"Trump, during a televised speech to a joint session of Congress a year ago, also repeated Musk's claim that the Social Security budget contained huge amounts of money being fraudulently paid to dead people.
This turned out to be completely untrue."

"The national debt now amounts to 100% of GDP."

Trump asks if anyone knows how to file a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy for an entire country...

None of this matters to Trump.

But WTF is wrong with the Republican Congress and the MAGA voters?

Congresscritters are terrified of Trump the God's wrath. We all saw one long serving Senator be unhorsed in a primary, for daring to vote "guilty" in the second impeachment.

Now, it's Massie, another very conservative guy, who dared to push back against the Epstein coverup, and fighting wars for Israel, who is being "primaried", today. Reportedly, the Israel lobby has put as much as $16M behind his GOP challenger.

Just like many of the companies I worked for. Toe the company line, feed the honcho's delusions, or lose your job.

Very conservative people, like Massie and Joe Kent, are showing up on left wing programs like TYT, and TYT is highlighting the comments of people on the right like Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, because they realize they have a common interest in trying to constrain the extremes of the Trump regime.

Megyn Kelly showing Trump, openly saying, the war with Iran is to benefit Israel, and pointing out that, if anyone else says it's for Israel's benefit, they are branded an "anti-Semite".
