Elon and Trump both jumping on Qardun-Finance..

[johnwalck]

I wonder when he’ll lay off thousands of Congressional, Senate, and Presidential support staff…talk about a bloated waste of taxpayer dollars!

[Reply-jd]

Every rich guy starts by cutting payroll, moves to not paying contractors, runs up the debt declares bankruptcy and blames everyone else.hmmm

[chrisdurgin]

Stop giving tax cuts to the billionaires.

[MCBob-nhcr]

With the types of cuts coming I’m sure my sister will lose her job, she’s a travel agent for the military. That’s 100% a waste of tax payer money, we shouldn’t be paying for travel agents.

[greenalien]

Well they voted him in this is what they wanted why are they whining

[tunisiamorse]

This is sad. So many people are losing their jobs. Is that what voting for trumps mean?

[jspade]

How is any of this helping Americans? We can't afford these government workers but we can afford $400 million in Tesla trucks, trips to the Superbowl and Daytona 500 for Trump and his family while several states are being flooded and need help but Trump took away disaster funding and seniors are being kicked out of nursing homes because Trump took away Medicaid? How does this make sense?

[davidrobertson]

America voted for this, the people who voted for trump, the people who voted third party, left the top of the ticket blank or did not vote at all. It was an up or down vote on the rule of law and democracy. You had a choice you who threw a tantrum because you did not like you two choices still voted for Trump.

Cut everything that's wasting money.

[gmc]

After the way the IRS has treated our citizens I just really can't feel sorry for them!!!

[MyLifeInTheSunshine]

Why do people keeping speaking about DOGE as if it's a real department. It is not.

[candysalazar]

There's ALOT of "floaters" lowering the quality/quantity of care at the VA. I'm GLAD to see someone stepping up to REMOVE the CANCER.

[tomjewett]

Think about the welders and people working on the pipeline that got laid off and fired when Biden shut it down. These government workers can do what they told the welders to do. Learn to code

[bob-rs]

this country is bankrupt is has to be done we spend 400 billion a year just on interest payments for debt

[ryzen]

200, 000 people times $70, 000 avg salary is saving $14 billion. That's not going to help us solve the debt crisis. Drop in a bucket to 7 trillion spent.

Where was the dustup when Slick Willie fired nearly 400K? He was praised as a hero.

[joycee]

February 28 is national buying blackout day. Show your strength. Please participate.

[chrisfoster]

What’s the difference between an IRS government employee having access to information and a presidential appointee having access to the same information? NOTHING. The outrage over the presidents formation of DOGE is farcical.

Welcome to the REAL world!! Like with any other job, if you’re not essential, you’re let go!! Happened in the hospital ALL the time!!
