    The GAO and inspectors general have tirelessly been working on the same manufactured outrage issue, since forever, that DOGE pretends to solve, but the vast majority of Americans have no idea they exist whatsoever.

    The GAO is one of the few government agencies that actually makes a ton of money. Like $400:1 return on what we fund them with.

    Instead of letting a billionaire play cities skylines with our government and create a fake government agency, we could have just given more money to the GAO

      Saving money was never the point of DOGE. It was a thinly veiled data theft and agencies-that-get-in-Musk’s-way destroyer.
