DOGE waste and inefficiency

FWIW: I sent a message to the US House DOGE caucus at DOGE@mail.house.gov.

Here’s their autoreply, followed by the mesage I sent:

Thank you for contacting the House DOGE Caucus. The Bipartisan House DOGE Caucus works in partnership with Congress and President Trump’s United States DOGE Service to streamline government operations and save taxpayer money. The nation expects sweeping common-sense reform, and the House DOGE Caucus will work to ensure that every dollar spent in Washington delivers a direct benefit to the people it serves while prioritizing transparency, accountability, and efficiency.

We value your input and ideas on ways to help DOGE do its job. No amount of waste, fraud, abuse, duplication, or administrative bloat is too small or too large to fix. Please continue to submit your ideas at any time. We appreciate hearing from you.

Subject: DOGE waste and inefficiency

DOGE could start by aiming before they fire.

Reports of slapdash pseudodecisions by DOGE are staggering … reflecting poor impulse control and shoddy judgment at the expense of US farmers, truckers, shipping companies, military personnel and contractors, faithbased relief and development agencies, churches, state governments, law enforcement, consumers, veterans, sick people, and working people whom the leaders apparently know nothing about.

All that while still on US soil and without touching on the cavalier cruelty in how the operation has rolled out, and the assault on decency toward the most vulnerable among us and around us.

It will take longer to calcuate waste and inefficiencies that will be borne by foreign policy relationships and US national security.

A bad idea poorly executed is not, I think, what the American people had in mind. Fortunately, the US House of Representatives is in a position to reassert its moral, fiduciary, and Constitutional responsibilities and form the necessary alliances to put a stop to this madness, before DOGE does a hundred years of damage to US fortunes, all to benefit one (1) percent of US citizens.

Respectfully,
