Every time DOGE reports were checked, they contained glaring massive mistakes ... which is still giving them massive benefit of doubt as it is equally likely they just lied.

So, no. No scary waste, squandering or laundering was found by them. However, they themselves are breaking the law, lying and trying to defraud.

The USAID building, which may not have actually been an executive agency under WhiteHouse control They are in full spite mode. Will take DECADES to rebuild and that may be the point.

It's the United States Institute of Peace building the dogebags are stealing. It's hard to keep up with all the grift.

US is never going to go insolvent as long as dollar is the world's main currency and as long as US has the strongest army in the world.

USAID was not causing US to go insolvent, it was promoting US soft power in the world. Soft power saves money, for relevant cases it's cheaper than deploying troops.

> USAID was a massive graft machine

Sort of irrelevant, right? Even if it was all grift, nothing is being saved if those resources are just stolen.

> I fear they will not reach the trillion etc they need in savings to stop the US going insolvent

Trump’s draft budget blows the deficit by $4 trillion to fund tax cuts for wealthy people. (I’d see my taxes go down under his plan, for what it’s worth. My mom, a bank teller, would not.)
