... is there somewhere that DOGE people with access are publishing the stuff they see? If this were about transparency, that could be good, but that purpose could be served with read only access.
I'm not saying there isn't serious corruption in government spending, but this administration and Musk aren't in a credible position to fight it, especially not this way. The Treasury Department should refer stuff to Justice who should convene a grand jury, present some evidence, and prosecute corrupt contractors etc. We're supposed to be a country of laws.
- blindriver 2y agoI disagree. They are very credible. I trust them much more than I trust a bunch of government bureaucrat fat cats. I’ve worked in government and I know first hand how useless they are so seeing them being exposed is a long time coming. The idea that these bureaucrats are unsung heros is hilarious. It’s exactly the same how taxi companies were somehow the heroes against Uber when taxi companies are the most exploitive companies ever, especially to minorities. I’m anxious to see what the results of all this effort is. But I don’t think anything nefarious is going on.
