The Tennessee Holler: We have yet to see a "plan" to cut the Pentagon budget.

The Pentagon fails audits and is inarguably full of waste and fraud. The question is whether or not this DOGE crew is serious about dealing with it, or if they’ll just use this as cover to privatize and enrich themselves.

We have yet to see a “plan” to cut the Pentagon budget.

All due respect to Bernie, if your tweet starts with “Elon Musk is right”, keep it in the drafts folder.

1. And apparently too stupid to know how government works.

There is no doge anything.
Only CONGRESS can create government agencies.

2. Why publish a plan for something you don't intend to do?

The defense budget is already prepped for grift by the unscrupulous, and Orange Julius Caesar will want a bloated military to carry out domestic suppression, continental imperialism, and of course glorious parades in his honor. No need for cuts there.

Frankly, suggesting that such a plan could or should exist seems tantamount to normalizing DOGE and the incoming administration.

3. The Defense Department and Pentagon are the most sacred of American Cows.

Untouchable, overrated, and not to be deprived of cannon fodder.

4. Bernie forgets, or is unaware, that Eloon is planning a "carve-out"...

...or exemption from his ridiculous DOGE policies for his own favored business dealings ("defense" contracting). Radical fiscal austerity is for the little people!
