DOGE should not investigate FEMA?

Aa expected. Money taps running dry.

Catholic bishops sued the Trump administration on Tuesday over its abrupt halt to funding of refugee resettlement, calling the action unlawful and harmful to newly arrived refugees and to the nation’s largest private resettlement program.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops says the administration, by withholding millions even for reimbursements of costs incurred before the sudden cut-off of funding, violates various laws as well as the constitutional provision giving the power of the purse to Congress, which already approved the funding.

grandstar:
What you're saying makes no sense.

American farmers are compensated for the chickens they cull. As at January 22, 2025, $1.46bn has been paid out as compensation. Farmers are always compensated.

Let's even forget chickens. Trump with his own words said he would start bringing down prices from day one. That is what he said and the opposite is happening!

There's no way prices of food won't keep rising due to absence of farm workers who skip work to prevent being deported. Crops are rottening on the farms. 42% are farm hands in the US are undocumented.

In addition, how can prices fall when you want to slap tariffs on imports? Will the duties not be added to the price? He lied that's its the exporters that patd the price.

I won't argue with you.

Note down these 4 things:

1. Inflation in the US is going to rise.
2. Job losses will commence by the third quarter
3. By the fourth quarter at the most, a downturn in the economy would have commenced.
4. Mass protests against Trump in all 50 states would begin in earnest by the fourth quarter at worst.
6. It would be a miracle if Trump lasts more than 2 years in office. He will be impeached. He would definitely be impeached.

Are you not worried about curbing waste. You want him to treat greying hair instead of first treating the migraine.
Labour shortage causes inflation . That would be a Trump university teaching

cococandy:
Take your meds pls 🤣

On another topic , you have been saying Trump wants to ban IVF while in reality he wants Americans to have more babies

'PROMISES KEPT': The order expands access to in vitro fertilization (ivf) and other fertility treatments through the reduction of out-of-pocket costs as ivf has become unaffordable for many Americans.


As I said earlier Hope you have the mental strength when reality about Trump hits you

People like you will be studied in years to come. Because this level of brainlessness has never been seen before.



You people sold shame and your souls for the defense of this Buffoon.

One minutes he’s part of DOGE. The next minute he’s not. He’s just advising. The next second he’s the head.

Anything Trump changes the tune to is what goes. The cuckery. EuGH.

Nah, I predict people like you will face loss of self confidence in a few months time. You will question why you believed fairy tales from the criminal democrats. I trust that you are emotionally mature to handle the realization that they been doing g a number on you.

Biden judge poised to reverse transgender Executive Order in the military.

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=118927094

With the DOD policy expected to be finalized over the coming week, Reyes said she would hold off on issuing an order but had largely made up her mind about the legality of the order, at one point remarking that “smarter people on the D.C. Circuit would have to tell me I’m wrong” about the policy
. She added that the central premise of the executive order -- that only two genders exist -- is “not biologically correct.”

Lol, the people who think others are brainwashed are the ones brainwashed here. They call names, but they are actually speaking from the same channels they support. Bot action!

The war shouldn't have started to begin with.
These people ignore the genesis of it and lie about everything but the same thing happens somewhere, this same guys change their minds and type opposite of what they supported previously.

Israel entered Gaza, no one did anything but Russia footballers have been banned because of the war. FIFA was politicized, something they preach against.

If you look deep into each of the people claiming moral high grounds here, you'll understand that they are hypocrites. They speak against what they supported with the last 4 years, just because it is from the party.

The biggest disinformation is that Russia wants to take over Europe. Before the war and now, Russia doesn't have the capacity to do that. So-called woke minds believe the nonsense being sold to them from their morality channels. If you question their takes, they tag you with a name to silence you just like the MSM operate.

I used to think highly of Russia military.
I doubt they can beat say Britain if from day one no nukes and both obey rules of war.
Britain or other western armies would by now have complete air superiority, anti aircraft radars would have been taken out, every Russian position would have been bombed out by now.
Russia has been fighting for months to take over some villages. Both armies are clearly identifiable , unlike fighting insurgents hiding within civilian positions in urban areas.

This isn't the first time the US has suffered from bird flu, buy this is the first time prices have risen so high!

Eggs are extremely critical in the American pastry industry and others. It isn't something to be taken lightly.

What steps as Trump taken to bring prices down or help consumers? None.

Why not encourage the importation of eggs until US hen sticks recover? Think outside the box. He can't because he doesn't even think.

Look! There's no point arguing with you. You're a Trump supporter.

Nevertheless, have this at the back of your mind: Trump is a man like you. He is not God. He like you can make mistakes. Don't you make mistakes, make bas decisions? So does Trump.

The US will certainly enter into a downturn this year. The only thing that may prevent it are his tax cuts which would drive the budget deficit sky high, and seriously increase the budget deficit.

We can argue Biden reason for being installed was to make America poorer and just another country.
A poor people are easily controlled by govt being everything. Providing food, shelter and clothing almost literally. Govt dictating everything including where to live, school,how much air travel, health care etc. A subservient population is good for globalists

cococandy:
So Elon has nothing to do with it?

This is another one of those “his words don’t really mean what he’s saying except when it’s convenient for us” situations, isn’t it?

How do you people sleep at night? 🤣

He is the head , his role is advisory.
You should read a book called Government Inspector by Nikolai Gogol .Or watch the play .
Today auditors don't come into an org to catch thieves . They analyse systems, procedures and policies vs a best practices benchmark. They will catch fraud because they sample a good number of transactions but that's not their main reason. Experienced auditors can smell fraud from across the Atlantic. . Their report will usually lead to a forensic audit.
Elon and his group are auditing. At the end of the day , data doesn't lie.Theirs is essentially a forensic audit.

IjeBos:
This really isn't complex.
There's less labor so companies are forced to pay more to compete for that labor.
They now have an increase in costs.
They will choose to pass on the increase in costs to the consumer by raising prices.
Increased prices is what inflation is.

But I assume your Masters in all things Bullshit knows better.

You think we are stupid? You are justifying why immigration especially illegal is important and redefining inflation.
Inflation. Too much money in circulation chasing too few goods

We can say if govt issued a mandate that everyone has to shave his hair and beards every 2 days , the cost of shaving would increase causing inflation.
Take your BS elsewhere.

cococandy:


Can someone tell us who’s running DOGE if Elon is not an employee of and is not the head of it?

While you’re at it, explain to us why he’s giving press conferences on behalf of doge from the White House. Find a lie or gaslight tactic Chop chop

DOGE is playing an advisory . Elon is not being paid, initially he tweeted he needed volunteers with a high IQ and skills before the inaugration.
But DOGE is a fully established body with it's own staff and mandated to look into govt IT systems . It's just USDS rebranded and repurposed to catch and prevent waste.
That's my understanding,.

Android17:
Imagine the type of gaslighting required to tell someone labor shortage rather than govt spending is responsible for inflation.

What is it about hating Trump that makes fools out of otherwise intelligent people?

Everything must be blamed on Trump policies, whether it's the slightest reason his name must be sullied.

cococandy:
Oh really you knew all along that Elon wasn’t an employee of DOGE?
So what was this?
was he just moonlighting around the department? And the president was just tossing his name around for fun.

You people are capable of incredible goals shifting and lying capacity. If that were an Olympic sport, all of you would be household names.

Mentally unhinged my gosh🥴🥴

Doesn't matter , he is not the one doing the firing and contract cancellation. His team has the required skills to ferret out where your tax dollars are being diverted to, you should thank him and kiss the ground he is walking on

grandstar:
Inflation can't be countered by a drop is spending.

Inflation is rising due to labor scarcity on the farms which has led to reduced food supply, forcing buyers to pay more.

The imposition of import tariffs on goods simply means consumers will pay more for goods as the duties paid on those goods would be passed on to the consumers.

Okay I'll take your position as the gospel truth. Now me knows govt spending recklessly has no effect on inflation, farm labor shortage is the key driver. I'm now wiser

Android17:
Did Biden not get his Inspector Generals to obliterate 100-140m Chickens shortly before Trump's Inauguration?

If you kill Chickens (for a fictitious bird flu), that has already affected the supply chain of eggs and the cascading effect will lead to more expensive eggs.

You have to be profoundly dishonest (not You obviously), to skip the part of the cause and hop on the effect. But the D in Denialism is for Democrats.

We are on the same page.
Democrats are the modern day prophets. They can read Trump's mind and foretell the days of gloom and doom ahead.

bemeruca:
Stupid lies. Trump is winning cases based on this matter. Check your head

Shut up . You don't live in America.

IjeBos:
In a legal brief, the White House now says Musk has no authority to make decisions in DOGE and is not DOGE's administrator nor an employee of DOGE.
Seems they realized what they were doing was illegal and now are backpeddling some.
So now the question is, if Musk isn't in charge, who is?

Who didn't know that, maybe you. He is recommending actions not issuing any orders. Do you live in America.
He recommends DHS to fire , then Noem fires. Rocket science

grandstar:
The American economy will definitely enter a downturn by the third or fourth quarter, basically this fiscal year.

Inflation is already rising, particularly with groceries, the most affected being eggs.

The primary reason for food inflation is that 42% of the agriculture workforce is made up of illegals and they are skipping work. There's no one picking the crops or attending to the hens.

The Fed will definitely increase interest rates to bring down inflation which woukd only slow down the economy to eventually a screeching stop.

This is barely 30days and things are fast falling apart.

I wonder what a full year result would be like? A bunker busting disaster@

Can that inflation rise be countered by a massive drop on federal spending?
Assuming illegals stop harvesting and thousands of USAID orphans are fired,that would imply a lot of people seeking jobs will increase, be it farm jobs or if they learn to code.

Learn to extrapolate.A state going the extra mile to spend more on medical health means the medical professionals are better renumerated.

Interim US Attorney for DC has been nominated for the same post by Trump to replace Matthew Graves.
Ed Martin who has overseen the departure of J6 inquisition prosecutors himself represented several of those jailed. He is a trump supporter who believes 2020 was stolen.

The democrats ran a big illegal operation to consolidate power. Money was never a problem. Nobody including Trump would be allowed to stand in their way.

But this Willy-nilly slash and burn thoughtless destruction of jobs and entire programs is crazy. And those that do not see or understand the danger are either so brainwashed they can’t see it or too deeply entrenched to admit they may have made a mistake here and this needs to be stopped, or are just so full of bitterness and hatred that they will cut off their nose to spite their face as long as who ever they hate is hurting too.

I don’t get people who are still cheering and saying THIS is what they voted for. I don’t get it.

It's democrats who are whining the most. Granted a lot of critical projects have been put on hold. Those who swindled money or poured it into questionable projects cannot be allowed to stay on the job
while the audit is going on.
It does not seem to matter to you that IRS is after every dollar in the tax returns yet govt can't account for what they are doing with a large chunk of money it spends. I would say this happens to most world governments not only in MAGA country.
DOGE is recommending what needs to be slashed , it's not the one that's actually doing the slashing.

Bill Clinton , Obama and Biden have called for audits to prevent wastage.

Obama

Presidents Obama and Biden clearly love the work @DOGE is doing pic.twitter.com/05Quru9H8O

— Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) February 15, 2025

We can’t sustain a system that bleeds billions of taxpayer dollars that have outlived their usefulness or exists solely for the power of politicians, lobbyists, or interest groups,” Obama states at the start of the footage.
Biden, who was then VP, follows by saying Americans are “entitled to accountability to make sure we’re using the dollars for what we said it was for.

“We are going to go through our federal budget…line-by-line, eliminating these programs we don’t need and ensuring that those we do need to operate in a sensible, cost-effective way,” Obama says in the succeeding clip.

In another part of the video, Obama discusses eliminating unnecessary spending while Biden talks about his and Obama’s efforts to instill an entirely new culture that every succeeding administration will hopefully follow.

Bill Clinton also slashed 380000 federal jobs. Video here.

@KanekoaTheGreat
In the 1990s, President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore took on a challenge that few politicians dared to confront: cutting the size of the federal government.

Facing a ballooning deficit and mounting inefficiencies, Clinton announced an ambitious plan to slash wasteful spending, shrink bureaucracy, and rein in government overreach. He signed an executive order eliminating 100,000 federal jobs, a 12% cut in administrative costs, and the consolidation or termination of hundreds of outdated programs.

One of his biggest warnings? If wasteful spending wasn’t controlled, the federal deficit would soar to $650 billion per year by the early 2000s, with a growing share of tax dollars going toward interest payments on debt instead of public investment.

Fast forward to today. In 2024, the federal deficit stands at $1.83 trillion—nearly triple Clinton’s worst-case scenario. Interest on the debt alone has reached $880 billion, consuming an ever-larger portion of the national budget.

Clinton’s reforms worked during his presidency. The federal workforce shrank by 380,000 federal jobs—a 16% decrease. Programs were streamlined, waste was reduced, and deficits were brought under control.

Yet, decades later—after the War on Terror, the 2008 financial crisis, and COVID-19—government spending has soared once again, bureaucracy has expanded, and the national debt has reached historic highs.

Now, history is repeating itself. President Trump has appointed Elon Musk, widely regarded as the world's most successful CEO and technologist, to lead efforts to streamline the government and restore fiscal responsibility.

For the sake of America, I hope the Democratic Party and the corporate media can set aside their irrational opposition and support DOGE, just as they once backed Bill Clinton and Al Gore.



It's hypocritical of democrats complaining now , when Trump is doing exactly what they had promised to do. Obama set the stage for a perpetually ballooning fiscal deficit with spending on expanded medical care, food stamps , climate change pet projects, forever wars etc while Biden topped it up with massive student loan bailouts and more climate change nonsense.
