Det var många som trodde DOGE var på riktigt, faktiskt även utbildade svenska finansprofiler, fast det var uppenbar bluff och lögn som allt annat i denna nya administration.
Trump 2.0 har tagit bedrägeri och korruption till en helt ny nivå i USA.
"
Musk began to sketch out DOGE in 2024 with a promise of "at least" $2 trillion in annual savings. That campaign trail pledge was later revised in 2025 down to $1 trillion and then again to $150 billion."
The Hamilton Project tool shows how far Musk fell short of his savings goals. The federal government surpassed 2024 spending levels on Dec. 9, with three weeks to go in the year.

On one front, government payroll numbers are down this year by about 9%, from 3.015 million federal workers in January to 2.744 million in November.
At the same time, government spending hasn't slowed, despite Musk's promises there. A tool from the Brookings Institution's Hamilton Project tracks government money headed out the door in real time and shows outlays as of Dec. 19 have risen from $7.135 to 7.558 trillion.
"DOGE had no noticeable effect on the trajectory of spending," the Cato Institute offered in its analysis of the agency's 2025 results. "But it did help engineer the largest peacetime workforce reduction on record."

Uppenbart skulle de behövt hyra in javier milei för att göra skillnad, men Trump precis som alla i etablissemanget går den enkla vägen. Låna mera bara.. gör inget åt slöseriet och den ofantligt stora statliga verksamheten, då kan folk börja klaga.
Är ju inte förtjust i Musk, som jag gett uttryck för många gånger, men att försöka minska på den byråkrati som myndigheter bygger upp, gillade jag.
