DOGE’s Key Revelation: A Federal Budget Made Into A Maze Impervious To Reform
“That complexity isn’t just an inconvenience – it shields waste, fuels inefficiency, and makes reform harder..”
As Elon Musk and his tech team urge their fellow Americans to become “domestic auditors” to help rein in federal spending, people have been encouraged to use the Treasury Department’s usaspending.gov website to identify and track government finance.
In a twist on the classic Washington line, the problem is not just following the money but finding it in the first place. The federal government has become so big and so expensive that even experts have trouble navigating the morass of contracts, awards, grants, loans, and other items that have transformed the U.S. spreadsheet into a labyrinth pitted with dead ends and rabbit holes.

Impervious to reform is the track Speaker Johnson seems to be taking. MAGA people won’t be impressed, but they’re a little blinded by the light at the moment.
MJ is SO FAR from pulling not only his weight, but ANY weight.
To be honest, if it weren’t for Elon and his GeekSquad, it would be a fairly weak open.
AND … showing us the inefficiency isn’t the same as fixing it.
And MJ’s last remarks suggest he doesn’t intend to push on that.
It may be that 47 starts with THE PURGE. And then the rebuild comes later.
He does want and need the RECESSION to come now, with ample time ahead of campaign 2026.
Can he do a Controlled Demolition on this scale? Could get out of hand easily.
I agree with everything you wrote. I was knocked over by DOGE, and figured those findings would immediately alter budget planning, but apparently The Speaker feels they should be ignored.
