Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Are Digging Up More Than Just Bureaucratic Bones
Elon Musk’s latest side quest—leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—is exposing government waste so absurd it makes a $10,000 Pentagon toilet seat look like a bargain. Among the greatest hits: Social Security checks being sent to people between the ages of 100 and 189 (spoiler: many of them are long dead), and a retirement system that processes paperwork based on how many envelopes can fit inside an elevator. (Yes, that’s a real thing. No, we don’t know why.)
Meanwhile, Trump’s second term is moving at breakneck speed, leaving bureaucrats scrambling like interns on coffee runs. Judges are trying to block reforms by filing petitions so fast they’ve basically created taxpayer-funded "no-show jobs" for themselves. Ironically, while entire programs are being slashed, DOGE has already saved American taxpayers billions—directly contradicting critics who insist the only way to fix the budget is to make billionaires cry.
And speaking of questionable financial decisions, let’s talk about energy. Turns out, OPEC still has the world by the gas nozzle, and America's previous strategy of selling off its oil reserves to keep gas prices low is now costing taxpayers dearly. Who could’ve guessed that selling oil cheap and then having to buy it back at a premium wasn’t the best plan? (Oh, right—literally everyone with a calculator.)
We also dive into the chaos of campaign finance, the government’s questionable environmental priorities, and the ever-worsening game of “Will Social Security Even Exist When I Retire?” Trump’s idea of eliminating taxes on Social Security income might help, but unless bigger changes happen, seniors may soon have to choose between groceries and heating. No pressure, though!
Will America enter the "golden age" Trump promised, or are we on track for another season of Government Waste: The Reality Show? Stick around as we continue exposing the greatest hits of bureaucratic blunders, corruption, and tax-funded nonsense. Subscribe now—because laughing is better than crying.
