The government needs an organization devoted strictly to gathering data about government organizations/progams and releasing it to the public so we can make informed decisions on whether they are effective or not.
There's arguments from one side to be made for government efficiency and then you have the other side that argues that the cuts are hurting people.
No one has any idea if DOGE is right or wrong and the propaganda from both parties determines what you believe... NOT objective data.
As a moderate, the compassionate side of me gets angry at DOGE seeing this site but the cynical realist in me knows how corrupt government is capable of being, so I have no idea what's true regarding government programs.
We do know that it was massively oversold. Elon claimed that he could essentially balance the budget off of DOGE's work by eliminating "fraud, waste, and abuse." Well anyone remotely numerate knew that was impossible, and it didn't happen. Not even in the same ZIP code, numerically speaking.
One might take issue with the implication that staffing cutbacks always equal harm to society. If that were true, then every living American should be working directly for the federal government on some sort of social program - anything less would be harmful.
I don't see anything that implies that all cuts are always harmful.
Regardless, one may reasonably believe that the US government almost always staffs in a way where cuts are almost always harmful (I am not making this argument). This doesn't come anywhere near implying what you are saying. This kind of extreme extrapolation is illogical.
