The law of unintended consequences states that actions taken by economic decision-makers with a specific objective in mind can lead to unexpected outcomes. Sometimes, unanticipated consequences or unforeseen consequences, more colloquially called knock-on effects, are outcomes of a purposeful action that are not intended or foreseen.
When Donald J Trump informed Americans and the world that when elected, he would create DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) to find waste, mismanagement, corruption, money laundering, etc., with Elon Musk on the helm, he was derided by the usual invariably clueless criminal suspects ⎯ Democrats, Fake Media, and the Swamp as a joke.
As always, Trump kept his promise by unleashing Elon and his youthful Sherlock Holmes-type cyber gen iuses to find the billions of dollars of hard-earned American taxpayers’ monies used to keep the Democrats and the swamp creatures in luxury at the expense of “We the People,” without anyone being responsible for accounting for them. An unlimited and unaccounted-for slush fund for the elites of the Democrats and the swamp. In less than a month, Elon’s sleuths have uncovered billions of dollars of waste from only one agency: USAID.
It is vital that our audience is fully informed regarding these young warriors. When advertising the positions available at DOGE, Musk said applicants should expect 80-plus-hour work weeks and no salaries. They have to live in their station without luxury.
“This will be tedious work, make lots of enemies & compensation is zero,” Musk wrote on X, which he owns.
Musk’s conditions are very focused, meant only for very dedicated, laser-sharp minds of purposeful young men and women who would accept such an outrageous one-sided offer, but the rewards will be enormous when DOGE succeeds in its mission. Every single one of these lions will find an excellent job anywhere in the USA and beyond, in government or otherwise.
DOGE posted on Jan. 28 that the group is “saving the Federal Government approx. $1 billion/day, mostly from stopping the hiring of people into unnecessary positions, deletion of DEI, and stopping improper payments to foreign organizations, all consistent with the President’s Executive Orders.”
“A good start, though this number needs to increase to > $3 billion/day,” Elon added.
When they investigate Health and Defence agencies, they will find hundreds of billions of dollars of unaccounted expenses for years and years. It is not impossible for Elon’s promise to cut waste by a trillion to be achieved.
Four weeks have only touched the tip of the iceberg, and billions are already involved. The corruption is built like an onion; this was the first peeled layer of corruption — many more to follow.
It is precisely because Elon and his Cyber Warriors are succeeding in finding corruption that the Democrats, fake media, and their stooges are attempting to shut him down, silence him, or turn him and Trump against each other.
November 5th proved that both the above malfeasance have lost their credibility by most of the American people, who do not trust them anymore because they know they are pathological liars and have the alternative media to get unbiased information from.
The left-wing media is accusing Musk of usurping the Presidency, and Congressional Democrats are in the streets protesting and calling for violence.
They are gesticulating and flailing because they have no solution to their own catastrophic defeat short of turning 180 degrees opposite to what they are doing. This means they have to declare they have been wrong all along, which is tantamount to swallowing a cyanide pill.
Personally, I sincerely hope they will continue on their self-destructive path, which will allow Trump and Americans to recover and solidify their gains even more.
DOGE recently caught the attention of a Greek member of Parliament regarding some of the wasteful spending it uncovered.
DOGE wrote, “While looking into this, the team identified a $25,000 award entitled ‘Empowering LGBTQIA+ Refugees in Greece’ with the description ‘To provide material, legal and psychological support to LGBTQIA+ asylum seekers and refugees; inform and raise awareness of civil society on issues faced by the LGBTQIA+ community,’” “It has now been canceled.” USAID is supporting illegals instead of Americans. This is not only waste but also treason.
Emmanouil Fragkos is a Member of the European Parliament for the right-wing Greek Solution party. Fragkos fired off a letter to Elon Musk on Tuesday requesting information from DOGE relating to any identified instances of misallocated funding, either direct or through NGOs, intended to assist illegal migrants in Greece.
“We seek clarification on any financial allocations, violations, or corrective actions intended to be taken by your department concerning this matter,” he added. The Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico, penned an open letter to Elon Musk, asking for information on all grants and funding from USAID to Slovakian NGOs and journalists who may have used the funds to sabotage Slovakia.
DOGE is opening Pandora’s Box, which will most definitely affect the economies and politics of dozens of other countries.
The enormous and unconscionable damage to the American economy that DOGE is uncovering has also been affecting other countries worldwide that they have not been aware of. The DOGE Domino Effect is just starting, as is the Law of Unintended Consequences.
Some morons have been calling these sums small changes. Really? Thousands of these will add up to millions. When one takes care of the dimes, the dollars will take care of themselves.
I am confident that the next 70 days will define one of the best presidents ever. MAGA!
