https://doge.gov/ or Department Of Government Efficiency
is quite a useless website that doesn't really
qualify as a public government website, as it
is just links to X-twitter, which is a
members-only "website", very unlike what would be
what would be more properly called a government
website, not a closed access web-forum, like Facebook
or Gab.
Where is the actual intention to cut down waste?
Let us pretend that USAID, for example, gave 90 million
dollars to support homeless shelters for trans teens in
El Salvador and you feel that that is an example of
government waste. But how could you actually tell whether it is
waste or not just because the premise seems wacky? Like with
TV and movies, premise is easy, it's what you actually do
and not what you said you intend to do that counts. Where is
the accounting for that 90 million dollars, what exactly was
down with it? Given to political activists to do whatever
they please with it, with no outside accounting?
Where is the acknowledgement of the possibility of fraud?
And that's what I mean, if you want to stop waste you want
to account for what has and is being done, not whether
or not what it's earmarked for sounds "relevant". For
no matter what it's for, if the grant money is being
given to scam artists it is always a waste, and much
worse.
