I’ve heard that the court fees from all the chaotic firings, erratic contract cancellations, and pausing of payments on already allocated funds may have completely wiped out any supposed "savings" DOGE claims to have achieved. I need you to explain to me, like I’m an absolute idiot, how this is “efficient” or “fiscally responsible.” You fired federal workers without even knowing what they do, only to realize you actually need them and now have to rehire. Where’s the savings? Where’s the efficiency? How do you justify that, not just once or twice, but many times over? Republicans love to say that Bill Clinton fired federal workers too. Cool. Copy him. He did it methodically, with a plan that actually saved money. Walk me through, step by step, like I’m five years old, how this chaotic mess you’re enabling is somehow the superior strategy. I thought this was supposed to cut waste and balance the budget. Instead, we’re watching Trump waste taxpayer money on garbage like: A pointless military air show at NASCAR—how much did that cost taxpayers? His never-ending golf trips—how much is that bleeding out of the budget? So, again, break it down for me. Slowly. Use small words if you have to. How does lighting money on fire with lawsuits, mass rehirings, and publicity stunts count as "fiscal responsibility"? And how does this help average Americans? I’ll wait.
