DOGE is Dead and Buried Inside of Big Beautiful Bill’s Belly, by David Haggith

DOGE dies a quiet death, unable to fight Washington’s insatiable desire for money. From David Haggith at thedailydoom.com:

Stand back! Bill just blew a big one and is feeling a little unsettled!

DOGE got eaten by Big Beautiful Bill.

The results are fully in. We all remember the brazen braggadocio as Musk raised a chainsaw overhead and boasted that he was slashing government expenses. We also remember the ham-fisted job the DOGE brothers did that frequently resulted in the government having to hire back a good number of the people DOGE fired because Team Trump discovered government could not do its expected work without those people. That happened several times in large numbers.

Surely, all that bloody slashing saved some money, as promised, right? How can you do all that chainsaw cutting and not save money?

Well, DOGE is dead, says one article below from The Winepress; and, for all of its bluster, DOGE saved nothing at all. The results that did come bled more red ink than all the blood that chainsaw could ever have let out of its victims veins. While no government slimming materialized during all the months DOGE was busting its “Big Balls,” as one firebrand in charge called himself (apparently believing he was all that and a bag of computer chips, too), we surely could reasonably expect to see those savings start to show up now that we have started the new fiscal year, right?

Not so! The US deficit at the start of the new fiscal year rose 10% over Biden’s last year. Beating #NoMoJoe with all of his fascist Bidenomics, which combined massive new government spending with corporate spending to jolt US chip production upward (similar to what Trump just announced today on his Genesis Mission, an AI build-out plan), was a pretty low bar to have to clear. Doing 10% worse than Sleepy, Creepy, Walking-Dead, Uncle Joe, however, is beyond terrible. How do you underperform a cadaver who shakes hands with curtains?
