Funny you'd accuse me of a straw man then go on about claims I never made.
Nothing has changed yet. No plans have been rolled out.
We could wait and see what the plan is before claiming it's a failure already?

Let me quote you: "Are you suggesting there is no possible way to make the government more efficient in a way that reduces costs by some significant amount?"
The poster said no such thing.
The poster said "DOGE is BS". DOGE is looking to make the government more efficient, so the poster said "making the government more efficient is BS".
Thus my question seems like a pretty good rephrasing.
If someone says: "I'm not a big fan of football", they're not necessarily saying: "We should kill all football players."
If someone says: "I think DOGE is BS", they're not saying: "I think any and all efforts to improve goverment efficiency are BS."
Sometimes, the thing a person says is the thing they mean to say. You're clearly creating a strawman.
