Title: Musky
Post by Serowbot on 02/10/25 at 10:49:25

Musk and his little crew of interns have spent $7.5 million in two weeks

How much is he paying those little nerds?
I see how we could save some money  :-?

As a survivor of major cancer surgery, sometimes you have to go in and cut deep and it takes recovery time. The idea that the Democratic Party is in such explosive denial is an indication of just how damaging hyper partisanship is. I’m not saying Republicans don’t do the same on their side, I’m just saying, the ridiculous objections and outlandish judicial overreach and the threats of violence are just simply over the top. The federal government waste billions and billions of dollars and anyone objecting to these actions is doing so because they have a severe case of TDS, and all you wanna do is damage Trump and now musk. The people are freaking ridiculous. Grow up.

Partisan politics at its finest.  The Dems look pretty ridiculous here seemingly favoring waste, fraud, and bureaucracy.  Suggesting that we should keep working within the same broken framework that got us here in the first place is the definition of insanity.

Should entire programs be eliminated, perhaps not.  But if you mix really grungy work clothing with lightly soiled dress clothing in the washing machine, your dress clothing becomes work clothing.  My point here is that when obvious problems are found, it’s probably just a matter of time before the good parts become infected.  Blow it up and start over.  I’ve heard certain broken programs will be replaced.

The Dept of Education is a pretty giant waste.  Collect $1.00 and then redistribute $0.90 in some Robinhood-like fashion.  Poorer states get their $1 back if they are lucky, and “donor states” get $0.80 back. Just leave the money with the states and let them figure it out.  Let Alabama and Arkansas be Alabama and Arkansas (you can’t fix stupid).

I just have to laugh at the people crying, “But Musk wasn’t elected”.  Lots of roles aren’t and even Harris didn’t have to go through a Primary election within her own Party to actually “earn” the nomination.

 This is really no different than Obama era healthcare changes.  People constantly criticized a broken system that only worked to make insurance companies more money, but they also didn't want to change things - unless someone from their political affiliation proposed it.  The difference here is the shoe is on the other political foot.  

 Content of each proposal means essentially nothing - it's about who said it.

I disagree on the analogy, but partisan politics was certainly involved.  I was at the peak of my 30+ year career in the healthcare insurance industry when ACA was implemented.

With ACA, we were arguing about more government involvement (funding, single-payer, mandates, etc) in a particular industry.  With the DOGE, we are arguing about how the government polices and audits its own domain.  Arguing we should just keep operating the same old broken way that hasn’t worked is simply ridiculous.  At least with ACA, Republicans were offering new ideas and alternative proposals.

That assertion is understandable because of so many people who support what doesn't work because of who said it. I get it. But Some people are honest in their opinions. Some of us are the real source of our positions. We use different sources and people who provide information from varying positions and then we use Observed Reality and choose what to believe. Knowing that more information could come out that would cause me to have to modify that position.

ACA was not only not needed, it made things worse. It created another career for associate degreed people who managed to restrict Who we can see And they interfere with How Your Doctor is Allowed to treat you.

What I recall about the beginnings of ACA is during the campaign, healthcare was the number one issue. John McCain offered ideas that would begin to split health insurance away from employers as a benefit and start the process of turning it over to something along the lines of all other insurance which is more competitive such as property and casualty insurance, life insurance etc…

The media of course was all in for Obama so presented McCain’s ideas as a scheme created by insurance companies. Obama went all in on his plan and we’ve basically kicked the health insurance can down the road ever since.

 I can for the most part agree with this assessment.  It is an opinion that I agree with this assessment.  My point is primarily that systems that don't work are complained about, and people seem to be, and this is an opinion for anyone incapable of understanding what an opinion is, only willing to change those broken systems as long as a source they like is the one doing it.  The change isn't important to them, it's who is doing it.

Title: Re: Musky
Post by ThumperPaul on 02/12/25 at 11:57:53

Again, ACA is not a good analogy.  You even acknowledge my point that Republicans had ideas (McCain), and Dems had ideas.

With DOGE, the Dems have nothing but “keep the same broken system that doesn’t work”.  That is not a valid or rational idea or plan.  They disagree and rebutt for the sole sake of disagreeing.  And they can’t stand that someone (Musk), on the other side of the aisle, is actually being successful.

It seems to be mostly the far lefties opposed to Musk and DOGE.  Moderate Democrats seem to appreciate eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse.  And dealing with it swiftly rather than trying to put baidaids on it or just try to continue cover it up and sweep it under the rug.  That’s already happened far too long.


Title: Re: Musky
Post by WebsterMark on 02/13/25 at 03:18:59

I think the point I was trying to make is that during that campaign, there was an opportunity for fundamental change. It was wasted. Healthcare was the primary topic for that entire campaign. And had McCain won or had Obama blended his idea with McCain’s, it’s possible healthcare insurance today would be more affordable and the strategies and schemes insurance companies used to make money would’ve been dramatically lessened.

To be fair, had McCain won and tried to dismantle the healthcare insurance industry as it is now, and here was the reason I was bringing this up as an example, he would’ve needed to go full on nuclear like Trump is doing with Doge. You think politicians, mostly Democrats, are fighting now to hang onto their sludge funds, imagine genuinely attacking the healthcare insurance industry. I feel like they would literally hire assassins to kill people. There’s how much money and power are involved in healthcare.

Musk is now paying himself $8 million a day of our tax money, plus he may get a $400 million contract from the Trump admin to supply the military with "armoured" vehicles (Cyber trucks)

So misleading….

His business government contracts bring in $8 million per day.  I believe this is “revenue” and not profit.  

Musk is not getting paid $8M per day for doing the DOGE job.  That’s what the clickbait headlines try to make dummies and haters believe.

Musk isn’t taking a paycheck.  I also don’t think he’s simply doing the job out of the goodness of his heart and solely for the benefit of the American people.  I suspect his self-interest is power, influence, and protection.

He doesn’t personally need the money, but getting the government to buy rockets and equipment so he can move to Mars (and buy it from Trump, lol) is plausible.

I'm not sure he's got any motive other than helping America. In a Prosperous America, he wins. A rising tide lifts all boats.
But,if he changes the trajectory of power and puts us on the path to prosperity once again, with the corruptocrats in prison and their fortunes returned to We the People, AND he benefits? I'm okay with that.

Here's a question I have...

When DOGE gets around to the Pentagon, should there be full transparency and dissemination to the American people and the whole WORLD?

Where did this $1 Billion Bitcoin payment really go?

I'm thinking it might not be in the best interests of national security.  Maybe skip the Pentagon and just cut their budget 10%. Scrap the F35 and call it done.

 That's not necessarily true.  There are plenty of businesses that hold contracts with the US Government that would not create a conflict of interest in regard to them auditing a different section of government.

 It is however something that needs to be scrutinized as discovering the details of bids from competitors, without their agreed upon disclosure is illegal.
