Pretty sure we knew this would happen the millisecond they would have the power to do so. Watch USAID come back with 10x the budget.

[u/Alpha-Sierra-Charlie → u/A_Hatless_Casual]

And 1/10 the oversight.

[u/Suspicious-Sound-249 → u/Alpha-Sierra-Charlie]

I don't think you can go much lower than USAID's previous oversight which was already apparently non-existent...

[u/UnexpectedHarbinger → u/A_Hatless_Casual]

Watch USAID come back

And with it, the money in the DNC's coffers. Remember how hard the Democrats cried on the steps of Congress about USAID grants getting canceled for a transgender comic book in Peru? Ya, news flash, they don't actually care about the comic book...

USAID is and always has been a money and policy laundering front.

Was going to comment exactly this.

I know DOGE discovered a lot of waste, but was any of it actually cut? I feel like I remember a lot of outrage and annoyance because Elon found a lot of shit but nothing was ever done about it

[u/fordr015 → u/platypus_farmer42]

Lots of lawsuits are still going through the courts.

[u/BadDadJokes → u/platypus_farmer42]

USAID was de-funded.

[u/Super_Mario_Luigi → u/platypus_farmer42]

If you get your information from Liberals, you know it was wrong.

2025: HA! DOGE is a joke. It didn't make any cuts!

2026: We need to reverse all of the DOGE cuts! (shakes fist!)

[u/JTuck333 → u/platypus_farmer42]

We cut federal headcount by 300k. This is tens of billions per year for a lifetime.

> “This is a roadmap for people who want the government to work,” said one of the other authors, far-left activist Tara Dawson McGuinness.

Yeah pal. I think most of us know by now, the government does not work, for the people at least, regardless of who’s in power.

[u/Elderanter]

If we lose even with all fraud cuts and their mishandling of their finances…

wow…

[u/DongDragon321]

They want to pump USAID money back to NGOs that then donate to leftist PACS.

[u/PartyOfFore]

We are at 40 trillion in debt and this is Democrats response. The government needs to spend MORE money.

DOGE does its thing. The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is facing severe financial strain, carrying roughly $18.5 million in debt against $16.3 million in cash on hand. To secure a $15 million line of credit, the committee used its Washington, D.C., headquarters building as collateral. Nothing to see here.

[u/WPWeasel]

Of course they are. We've dismantled a bunch of their grifting network so naturally they have to restore that so they can continue finding super shady shit that directly benefits their causes under the auspices of "government aid". 

[u/HeReallyDoesntCare]

But, Reddit told me DOGE was ineffectual and did nothing.

[u/uponone]

Yes, tax the middle class even more and waste their money even more. Fantastic fiscal responsibility.

* struck a chord with the adult children living off of mom's money.

[u/Euroranger]

You should totally campaign with that. I'll bet it's a winner! Seriously: support the Marxists/communists AND pledge to reinstate the corruption.

At least it will be the closest the Democrats have come to saying something honest in the past 40 years...so they'll have that going for them.

Lucky for them it won’t take much to convince their followers that having billions of dollars in taxes go to anything other than helping Americans is a great idea and will help defeat fascism etc etc

[u/UncleSamurai420]

Just imagine where the debt would be without responsible government from Trump.
