The entire DOGE Project seems to be distilling people into two categories.

One group largely consists of those who hold the belief that the government is some sort of giant benevolent creature, all wise and all powerful, that is always working for the good of the country.

The second group contains those who believe, that it has become a creature that has gone off the rails, much too big and bloated, and largely unaccountable to the actual American voter.

The revelations of waste, fraud and abuse of taxpayer money uncovered just thus far by the DOGE Project appear to overwhelmingly support the second group’s overall belief. It is an almost whole of government apparatus, that has been running amuck, spending taxpayer money like drunken sailors with literally zero oversight, and that considers itself accountable to no one.

Government - not just the US government- but all government, by its very nature, is not your friend.

Left to its own devices it will only seek to amass more and more power and control.

Our Founders wrote the entire Constitution for the sole purpose of constraining the government, but our own government has more than strayed from those constraints for decades upon decades.

The Congress itself, has long abdicated it’s ONE JOB: writing the laws, to an unconstitutional administrative bureaucracy that does what it wants, when it wants, without answering to anyone, creating its own rules, laws and regulations, even going so far as to be judge and jury over those rules and regulations. None of that is anywhere in the Constitution.

It’s way more than past time that our government was brought back to work within its originally intended, and very limited Constitutional scope and size.
