The White House restored funding for the 9/11 first responder survivors’ health program after an uproar from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle ensued following the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) cuts last week.


Stop hacking at spending like a drunken idiot with an axe & you wouldn't get political blowback.

Good. This fund should never have been cut.
 
Around 20 percent of the program’s staff were cut last week as part of DOGE’s broad push to slash government spending and downsize the federal workforce.

Donald is a ****ing idiot letting another ****ing idiot decide what's "nonessential."

Dangerous ****ing idiots.
 
When you move quickly there will be a few missteps. It was an easy fix. However, the left doesn't want any actions taken to expose fraud, they scream at every move to look at corrupt government acts. Do it with a scalpel, not an axe they say. Well for decades nobody has done any real work beyond talkin about it. So if we don't move swiftly before it can be covered up, we will not find anything, it will not stop and nobody will pay for the corruption.
As they say, "better to ask forgiveness than permission". The left wants to hide it.
 
But the voters asked for these cuts by electing Donald.

In the business world DOGE is known as a "pigeon".

Flies in, makes lots of noise, flies off leaving nothing but poop.

DOGE is the fraud and I'm very much looking forward to it being exposed.

I think that's just how Musk does things, which makes it even more surprising that he's so rich.

Edit: Although, I think the people who designed project 2025 may have done the same thing even if Musk wasn't involved.

Can you point me to the bank account all these "savings" are being deposited to?

People getting angry enough does have an effect on King Musk's purge. As people continue speaking out and rising up, the victories over him will mount.

Except that over half the nation agree this work desperately needs to be done. The vocal cult leftist just spew shit. They haven't a clue, they just protest on command and say stupid thing. Men are women for instance.
The only person who sounds dumber than these protestors is Kamala Harris when she delivers her word salads. I hope the left runs that dummy in 2028.

When you move quickly there will be few missteps, but they are usually easy to fix. Problem has been the do it with a scalpel technique that got nothing done. It's just liberal BS for don't touch our slush fund.

That is untrue. Everyone agrees it needs doing. It is the how that is in question.

Then maybe they should move slowly.

Identify what is actual fraud and cut that instead of cutting everything and calling it good.

As it turns out, they haven't found any fraud yet. They're just canceling stuff like 9/11 health care programs and calling them "waste."

It seems obvious to me that we both need to regularly examine our existing expenditures, while at the same time being careful about if, when, and how we cut them, to ensure minimal side-effects.

What the GOP is currently doing or allowing is idiotic.

That doesn't mean the status quo from before is correct.

So, you're saying that Musk and crew are just not capable of doing this without constantly ****ing up? They aren't competent enough?
