The issue lies in a number of areas:

1. Politicians are watching their favorite pork barreling disappear day by day

2. Since Trump was elected President the waste identified is going to be what Trump thinks is waste

3. The job of the Democrats is to get elected, and you don’t get elected by sitting by as your opponent keeps doing things many voters are supporting, you try and stop it

Because government waste is high on the list of priorities of many voters and DOGE seems to have only improved Trump’s approval rating, the Democrats can’t come out and say “stop cutting government waste”!

So instead they try to politically attack DOGE by saying many of them are young (so are the soldiers we send overseas to fight wars), they are unelected (so are all government workers), they aren’t allowed to do this (to be determined by courts) and they are cutting the wrong things (the voters will decide this in the end).

So if you like what DOGE is doing, sit back and buckle up because it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
