Similarly, clinton started the mass exodus of fed employees to suit his admin goals and no one complained.

We have unelected judges stopping executive decisions which is wrong. Yet the amount of bitching here with DOGE simply exposing terrible waste and things being paid for with taxpayer money. Astonishing. Wrong. This must be stopped.
