Sen Coons endorses Musk's DOGE

[angrychair]

Apparently Sen Chris Coons has endorsed Musk's "DOGE" advisory committee and how it could be a "constructive undertaking".

Friends like these, who needs enemies.

2. DOGE is going to have the conversation

whether we like it or not. maybe it's best to engage, be involved in the conversation to try to avoid wholesale scalebacks.

3. No

It has no legal or regulatory authority. We should be drowning then in lawsuits not hugging and sitting around a campfire with them.

4. Exactly -- it is a LARP

6. Seems like it might be unconstitutional to me.

I thought Sen. Coons was smarter than that. They are not going to save billions of dollars, if they follow through with their ideas, they will totally destroy the US Government and the US Economy.

5. I say it's a scam for shoveling cash to billionaires, and the Senator should be careful what he endorses

7. Some of us have to be on the inside. It's smart to do so.

9. Well, we can always bash the advisory committee like Obama's so-called "Catfood Commission" even though

it had recommendations for bolstering Social Security trust fund and raising payments to those on the low end of the benefits scale.

Instead nothing happened and we are a few years away from an automatic SS cut of around 17%. Will we get another chance to do something under the gun, or will GOPers make the changes?

Point is, think Coons is right to want to be involved with decisions that will impact us all, and not just be a critic. Screaming and hollering ain't gonna stop the DOGE from meeting and issuing findings. Now getting those "findings" enacted by Congress is another question. Hopefully we'll do well in Midterms.

Fuck you!

11. Traitor

Musk is a fucking piece of shit who is out to profit wildly from this.

THIS is how you lost elections- by caving in to the enemy. Musk is our ENEMY. So is Trump,

Fucking fight for once.
