What a brilliant plan to streamline government operations! With Trump’s executive order, we can now have Elon Musk’s Doge team keep track of where our hard-earned tax dollars are going, right? And transparency, oh boy, what a beautiful sight! I mean, it’s not like we’ve ever had any of that before, right? As for the ‘transformation’ in federal spending, I’m sure it will be nothing short of magical, especially since it seems to be excluding law enforcement, the military, and national security. It’s like, why fix what isn’t broken? Oh, and Musk’s admission of ‘mistakes’? Well, that’s just charming, isn’t it? The tech magnate who tried to nix the Ebola-prevention effort like it was just another app update? That’s a level of efficiency I can really get behind! As for the massive workforce reduction? It’s about time we got rid of all those ‘bloated’, ‘sloppy’ civil servants, right? After all, who needs actual professionals when you have the Trump administration’s ‘biggest fans’ in charge? And let’s not forget the credit card freeze, a surefire way to make sure the only non-essential services we get are the ones provided by the government itself!
