During this week's broadcast of Fox News Channel's "Sunday Morning Futures," President Donald Trump dismissed naysayers who claimed friction between him and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk. | Clips
I’m sorry that you feel that way. If you’re uncomfortable giving your opinion I can give mine and see if we have any middle ground.
From my perspective, DOGE is an attempt to repeat what was done to Twitter on a much larger scale. The U.S economy is crashing hard as a result. I’m legitimately concerned the damage DOGE has done to the U.S government will be permanent. The cutting of research and government programs at this level will have lasting impacts that will reduce the quality of life of Americans for generations.
I can elaborate further if you want. I understand others gut reactions to down vote your comments and your posts when they disagree but this is a conservative community. I’m clearly not conservative but respect that people have other political views. Perhaps I’m an optimist but I think if platforms like Lemmy don’t allow those on the other side of political spectrum to have conversations then it pushes people into their own echo chambers further polarizing the individual.
I hope you feel more comfortable to share your personal opinion on what is happening in future. Given how extreme it is, I think its necessary to really understand what is happening.
There have been lots of new comments since you posted. Please refresh the thread and you will see exactly what I was talking about. This thread is a mess of negativity now! lol
I get what you’re saying but at the same time, it is much easier to tear things down then build them up. If you fire everyone that manages social security for example, it will be very difficult/costly to train up all new people. This isn’t some policy that can just be reversed and that’s the end of it. I’ll reiterate, I truly think think the damage being done will lower the standard of living for Americans for generations to come and that really saddens me.

You don’t think cutting social security, Medicare, Medicaid, veterans benefits and other social safety nets won’t harm Americans? How exactly do you think it will make things better or stay the same?
Firing 100k-200k federal jobs will have trickle down effects like Reagan could only dream of.
How is selling government property going to help anyone? We already have an over abundance of office space, now we are going to dump more sqft into the market? What will that do to prices of commercial property?

Meh, if what he is doing is so bad, and enough people think that, then in four years vote in a dem who can change it all back.

I’m sure they can be trained pretty quickly. Just like any job that has to hire new people.
And I disagree.
