Why we need DOGE

I suspect the line between this and Lloyd Austen (and presumably so many of his predecessors) getting extraordinarily lucrative private sector defense industry jobs, is very subtle. But a subtle difference can make the difference between legal and illegal.
This shit where top level government employees get huge amounts of money in the private sector, because there is a reasonable expectation that they will earn that money "somehow", is commonplace to put it mildly.

Not obvious at all. Just because the current oversight is not working does not mean DOGE will work. I have to see convincing evidence that shows DOGE works, or cogent argument that shows DOGE will work.

I mean, they found out about this guy and he's going to jail, so...
As a contractor I'm familiar with how strict most COs and COTRs are (the folks in charge of contract awards and execution, sort of), and the hoops you usually have to jump through to see a "sole source" contract come out makes it really hard for the above type of tomfoolery to happen. Perhaps the culture is a bit different in the Navy though, I have no idea.

I've posted this here many times. The folks in procurement know how to circumvent the controls in place. For instance, if the purchasing department wants only a given product, they will find something unique about it and put that in the requirements - like only Windex has Ammonia-D - so that only the product they want meets the spec.

The idea that DOGE will reduce corruption is pretty funny. The idea that Trump wants to eliminate corruption is beyond funny.
