DOGE is dead but Musk got what he wanted

[Rideback]

Jim Wright:
"Reportedly, DOGE has been completely disbanded.
Remember when Elon Musk stood in the Oval Office next to Trump and promised they would uncover at least "Two Trillion Dollars in fraud?"
Remember?
Heh. Yeah. Neither do they. How convenient.
They randomly cut billions in government research, contracts, grants, workforce, agencies, and a vast array of programs Americans depend on. Slash and burn, like Trump bulldozing the White House.
But they never did find that $2 Trillion.
Musk? HE found a Trillion, from the Tesla board of directors, but he never did manage to deliver on his promise to the American people. I doubt he'll deliver for Tesla either, but I digress.
DOGE never produced a single shred of evidence of fraud, chicanery, or even waste. They just cut without regard to the damage, gleeful in their arrogant wanton destruction. Musk bailed out when it became obvious DOGE was... well, a dodge. And now the teenage edgelords who took a blowtorch to government are complaining they've been left holding the bag -- and for such allegedly smart little boys, they apparently never saw it coming. And they really should have.
Footnote: Strangely, despite all the cuts, all those alleged savings, Republicans just shut government down for over a month, unable to produce a functional budget and the national debt and the deficit are somehow far higher today than they were 11 months ago."
