DOGE opinions

[hollohas]

This entire thing is like a detox. The US is a giant drug addict that voluntarily checked itself into rehab. We KNEW that our choice is going to suck. It's going to make us feel like shit for a bit. We're going to get majorly sick temporarily but once it's over we'll be so much healthier.

We elected Trump because the country is addicted to bullshit; waste, woke, inefficient and corrupt. We all knew he was going to come in and do some shit that was going to screw stuff up for a bit. He said exactly what he planned to do. The toxins and addiction must be purged. It's going to be a bumpy road and it's probably going to suck for a bit, but if we have the appetite to stick with it, we'll ultimately come out the other side so much healthier.

We frequently call the gov BS "cancer". We'll, just we started chemo. It's not going to be fun.

Unfortunately, it's pretty clear to me the American public has zero appetite for things that make them uncomfortable, temporary as they may be. And even if some things get better in the end, we ultimately won't break our addiction and the second we checkout of rehab, we're going to binge hard.

Great analogy. Seems spot on to me!

Can't really disagree with much here. We put our heads in the sand long enough that now if you want to fix anything it's going to be far more painful than it would have been 20 years ago. People want to keep the gravy train going and are just hoping they won't be the ones holding the bag later. It does kind of irritate me that some retirees are worried about their benefits being cut, when some of us younger folks are worried about not having ANY benefits when we get there. You can't really vote for all this spending and then be mad when some of it gets scaled back.
