Whether you hate him or love him, Transparency is always good. I think every country should have a watchdog like DOGE which can sniff out waste and take suggestions from general public. I don't expect generalist bureaucrats to be right about technial aspects. Our society has gotten complex but the representative government hasn't to reflect that fact.

It existed before DOGE: it's called the Government Accountability Office, accountable to Congress and not the President, and you can report "waste, fraud, and abuse" here: https://www.gao.gov/about/contact-us https://www.gao.gov/about/contact-us

  You care more for processes rather than outcomes. I have seen outcomes only when DOGE was constituted..

Transparency is indeed always good! Which is why this completely intransparent and obviously partisan "audit", which flaunts all rules of actual auditing, is bad.

There’s as much transparency in this process as there is free speech on Twitter - none. So much transparency happening... https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/us/politics/trump-musk-doge-foia-public-records.html https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/us/politics/trump-musk-do...

You act like this information wasn't publicly available before. There is very little transparency about what DOGE is _actually_ doing. Not even the DSA -- which DOGE is supposed to be a part of -- knows.
