Don't be fooled: the real mission of DOGE isn't to make government more "efficient".
It's to slash the social safety net on behalf of the billionaires.

Yet somehow major media has altogether failed to get any appreciable percentage of Americans to understand it, even as it also spends most of its time blaming everyone but itself for under-informing the American populace.

When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit.
But how do companies make those profits? By *denying* care to many who need it.
Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.
