“Despite fabricating the United States DOGE Service out of thin air, President Musk has already grown his unelected bureaucracy to lay claim to nearly $7 million of American taxpayer funding,” House Appropriations ranking member Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., said in a statement. She said that amount is “nearly twice the annual salaries and expenses budget of the White House.”
A DOGE budget fascinates me. Much of the news around this has been that congress holds the purse strings. If DOGE was created and budgeted, how does it grow with out congress?
It feels like this is more chaos create by the press, than what is actually occurring in Washington.
Are Musk and crew employees or not? Simple question, simple answer, but in most coverage is so complicated and scary.
This may make sense in the blue blue sky, but facts need foundation here on earth.
Alas, its all pointless. You have your team, they have theirs. The purpose of the press is to ensure you never agree with them.
No one has been paying any attention here. The House of Representatives supposedly has the power of the purse but this misguided House can hardly decide what day it is much less settle down to even discuss anything like a budget. This president wants “one big, beautiful bill” but the Senate has already said that’s a non starter. There’s talk about getting there via reconciliation but that is an involved process that will require Democrats votes to carry off which isn’t too likely. As it is, the continuing resolution will run out March 14. Speaker Johnson isn’t Nancy Pelosi. He’s too busy monitoring his phone to make sure his son isn’t reading porn.
“House Appropriations ranking member Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., said in a statement.“
That is a fact. It is not made up by media.
You said: “If DOGE was created and budgeted, how does it grow with out congress?”
That is there overarching point - that our constitutional guarantees of three equal branches of government no longer exists. That is the definition of a constitutional crisis. But you believe what you want since, for now, it is a free country, at least for some.
With an anonymous screen name you could be musk, making up chaos here. What do we know???
Try not get distracted by their other politics links.
For a giggle, while there, find the article explaining why HeWhoShallNotBeNamed is wrong in saying those astronauts are "stranded". Then take note of the previous NPR articles embedded about those "stranded" astronauts.
Its a small example of medias leaning and rigid adherence to villainizing whatever HWSNBN says or does.
I don't like the guy either, but they are trying to solve long standing problems that congress would not address. A congress of Republicans and Democrats. Both have been complicit in the malignant growth or pork generated programs and this debt for decades.
That brings us back to term limits and/or voting out the incumbent until we get them.
You're quite right. It becomes evident when someone starts with the name calling instead of debating the topic. At least he hasn't called me Hitler, but maybe by proxy?

I'm not Musk, if I was I'd be wasting my time on a computer games or posting on X.
Try to stick to facts.
Find the truth.
That's all I advocate.
The press is supposed to help us find that truth, not sensationalize and divide.
Here's a link to NPR explaining how DOGE is structured.

Do your part in the next election. I will.
I think you are musk. Or Stephen Miller. Convince us otherwise.
Oh my goodness.
How would you suggest that I change YOUR mind?
That impossible process is probably why Musk invests in Neurolink. Maybe once were all chipped we can find unity.
BTW who is Stephen Miller?
I looked him up. I'll be Elon, he has more money and people think he has more power in the government!
You will never ever change his mind - totally set in his ways
You're quite right. It becomes evident when someone starts with the name calling instead of debating the topic. At least he hasn't called me Hitler, but maybe by proxy?
He has no idea how to debate. A true narcissist & will turn everything against you
Who is name calling now?
Have said so many times, telling truth is not name calling.
There is no debating zealot.
If calling BS on anonymity is name calling I will gladly confess. Hitler is dead.
That’s just what musk would say.
Thank you Darrell.
