    So, they say that they need to cut spending to lower the deficit, BUT ALSO the government should send the money saved back to taxpayers, BUT ALSO they say that the money should go to tax cuts for the super-wealthy, BUT ALSO the numbers don’t add up and they haven’t saved as much as they claim.

    Gosh, it’s almost like they just say whatever random bullshit they feel like saying, without taking reality into consideration.

      I still dig what they’re doing though. Democrats fucked around and wasted money with no oversight. These guy are cutting all that. I’m good with it.

            This article, the one you posted, from The Daily Mail, says:

            But despite Musk’s team claiming it has saved roughly $105 billion or more than $650 a taxpayer, multiple reports have shown the receipts so far do not add up.

              I was referring to my comment that they guys are cutting all of that. And to that remark, you replied, “But they’re not.” and I said they are. As in the ARE cutting all of that.

                I find that arguing back and forth about who said what is pointless, so let me elaborate. They are not cutting waste, fraud, and abuse. That’s a lie to sucker the rubes. They are axing probationary workers, because that’s easy to do, in order to announce results quickly. They are hacking at the federal government in order to effect their own brand of disaster capitalism, so that the super-wealthy can buy up the assets. It’s laid out right in Project 2025, so I don’t even have to guess. Even reports like this in The Daily Mail hint at the con by pointing out that the claims of savings are just lies.
