" Last fourth dimension I checked , we ’re not get anything in payoff for that . "

Donald Trumpestablishedthe Department of Government Efficiency, known as DOGE (which is not an actual department), to cut government spending. He put Elon Musk in charge, who promised tocut$1 trillion from the next fiscal year’s budget by Sept. 30.

However, at a recentDOGEsubcommittee hearing on the use of federal buildings, Rep. Jasmine Crockett discussed thedamageDOGE has done and the hypocrisy of its initiatives.

“The Republicans' recklessness and chaotic approach to reducing the size of government has shown us what we’ve already known: ‘conceptsof a plan’ don’t work,” she said.

“They haven’t proposed anything that will improve the efficiency of the government. Instead, they have put the country on apathto a recession and implemented the largest tax increase on Americans in decades through Trump’s tariffs.”

“Let’s talk about the fact that as of March 30, Trump’sgolfinghas cost us approximately $26 million. And the last time I checked, we’re not getting anything in return for that.”

“In fact, he decided that he was going to golf as the markets were tanking. He decided he was going to golf instead of receiving fourheroeswho died serving this country. He has decided that he wanted to play games while the rest of us are really trying to make sure that we can serve the American people.”

“Nah, he was working, but just not for the American people. He was making sure the money he brought to his hotel and golf course went into his pocket. He is working hard for that government money he is stealing right and left,“u/Rightbuthumblesaid.

“Twist the knife, raise some doubt about whether he really won his golf tournament,“u/Mooseguncle1joked.

Many noticed Crockett is often the only Democrat publicly criticizing Trump and DOGE. “I love her and the others pointing out 47’s bullshit, but I hate the silence from the majority of them. This whole thing is bullshit,“u/Lokajipointed out.

“Now the other Democrats have to follow suit instead of sitting on their asses,“u/eshane60demanded.

“This should be more of a big deal. Not that he’ll be stopping,“u/Sorkel3said.

“Meanwhile, every time Biden was not working Trump made sure to announce it to his entire cult. Biden Derangement Syndrome,“u/AdOne5089said.
