DOGE is not an official part of government and has no power. It is a part of the MAGA movement. The way I see it, is that DOGE will loudly uncover waste and fraud, finger whole government agencies that have long exceeded their original purpose for sunsetting, show how to cut government employment by eliminating their agencies. Then President Trump will hold the feet of Congress to the fire and woe be to the ones that stand in the way and do not enact the recommendations of Doge into Law. Trump will embrace all of the recommendations of Elon and Vivek. These are the promises of President Trump 47.
Promises made and promises kept. The Republican Congress will be forced to back this or suffer terrible rebukes from President Trump. At least this is how I foresee it being done. I say depopulate Washington DC. MAGA

From what I understand, DOGE cannot actually make and cuts. All they can do is recommend cuts. It’s up to congress to actually make the cuts. And THAT’S where the problem lies!

While our current corrupt Commander in Chief takes naps during summit meetings in Africa, or is handing out real and potential pardons that resemble Oprah giving away cars (“You get a pardon; and you get a pardon; and you get a pardon!….”) Donald J. Trump is really the one who is currently in charge as President of the United States.
Trump’s extraordinary cabinet picks, and the creation of the advisory committee known as DOGE, is making bureaucrats, lobbyists, government contractors etc. quiver in their boots! Finally, real action is taking place to address the insurmountable waste of tax-payer dollars that has been rampant in our government for decades and decades.
Besides those things that can be done through Executive Action, Trump and his DOGE team will fearlessly put forth policies to shake up the federal government and shrink it down to the size our Founders envisioned. However, before we can see this come to fruition, there remains a huge obstacle – Congress! History has shown us that Congress are the ones who have allowed this consequential debt to grow and grow.
DOGE will expose all the details of government waste, but will our legislators do anything about it?

People are finally waking up to the jacked up mess Biden/Harris are leaving Trump to clean up, and Dems are loosing party members like crazy. Vivak and Elon will do well in getting the excessive spending under control, as long as GOP house and senate stay unified when they vote for changes that are definitely needed. Biden/Harris should just disappear and let a true President with vision do the job, but they will use the next 46 days to screw it up even more. GOP has to hit the bricks running and follow the Trump vision or this country will continue to decline. .

Unfortunately, I expect the Demorats and RINO’s to do everything they can to stop any true progress. It will be a very tough battle to accomplish anything significant. What may make it possible is that expect Elon and Vivek to publish everything they do on X, so it can’t be hidden. Of course, the Mainstream Media will twist and distort what is being done.

Besides blaming the current occupier’s and Dems, the Republicans have plenty of blame too. McConnell and Johnson haven’t been strong strong fiscal conservatives.
With that said, too many “Republicans” in Congress, and the senate, are just there for themselves…we see you John Rose and Brian Fitzpatrick.
With McConnell, Thune, Cornyn, Collins, Murkowski, and Camera hog Graham in the senate, nothing will change.
Unfortunately, over the next couple of Elections, most will loose track of what’s happening and not even get involved or vote. Too many people think by just electing President Trump all is well. He needs help and we need to make sure we elect House and Senate members who will do just that.

Having worked 9-1/2 years prior to retirement at the Bureau of the Census, I can attest to the gross inefficiencies at their data capture operations, as well as during the build up to the Decennial Census. Their methods are poor, and actions are more reactionary than intentional.
During the 2010 Census I changed methods in the logistics operation and made it possible for people to be redeployed to other operations eliminating the need to hire others. We used fewer people to get our job done, by between 70-75% fewer than the prior Census number; resulting in a savings in excess of $130 million dollars.
So, yes they can be successful reducing the size of government.

Most people have no idea of the actual extent of government waste. It is galactic. It is almost impossible to believe. I think the most important thing DOGE will accomplish is informing the public of the enormity of the problem. Elon and Vivek will be posting on X and other media, on a daily basis, examples of how, and to the extent our government wastes our money. This will produce a groundswell of angry voices, which will demand reforms.

Musk and Ramaswamy will tear the bandage off government bloat and reveal what’s festering beneath the layers of dead weight. They will announce most of their findings, publicly, and it will be up to Trump and Republicans to get Congress to vote for cuts. This is a new era with a few Progressive holdouts (still being led by Obama) who no longer have the power or influence to strong arm Democrats over radical ideology. Pelosi’s influence has waned, and while she can still threaten to withhold campaign funds from Dems, I think those same Dems will rat her out. Common sense has returned and I cannot believe every Dem in Congress supported the radical Leftist agenda. They were running scared…Now is the time for change, and I believe that change will happen.

Mist of our tax dollars are wasted. There are too many federal employees, too many departments that have no real purpose other than nepatizm – income for family members who ‘work from home’ – our tax dollars go to support private businesses – NPR , planned parenthood, etc. this administration just gave millions to support the hospital in Martha’s Vineyard – we waste millions on research programs that have no real purpose – developing transgender monkeys, giving cocaine to animals- any sane single mom could cut trillions out of the federal budget. Yeah, I’m fairly certain DOGE will work – provided the dems don’t find a way to sabotage it- that’s their strongest ability – there’s no way to corrupt, too low for them to go keep the money & power they’ve enjoyed for too long. – Dems & the RINO’s – corruption & power is why they stay for decades.
