    My guess is this little fact alone will mean Doge’s net effect will have been to increase the deficit.

    And I don’t mean the entire Trump admin with his big beautiful bill, of course that will be a world historic deficit increase.

    I mean just Doge.

    They added 30K new positions between 2023 and the end of Biden’s term. Now, all of those weren’t auditors, but quite a few were.

      That never happened. It would be politically untenable.

        I came to my own conclusions.

        I didn't read the thread.

        I was only joking

          Sure, but the baseline budget deficit figures would have taken that into account whether they were all auditors or only half. So the point about Doge remains the same.

          Only non-witches get due process.

            Haha Copper how’d you get Horace’s login?

            Anyway, as Horace well knows, to say ‘hiring as many auditors as you need until you maximize revenues is not politically tenable’ is quite different from saying ‘hiring any more auditors is politically untenable’.

            Having said that the political fight around the 30k was quite significant.

                    I think his time at DOGE is like the story of the Greece boy who flew too close to the sun.

                      The economist had a fabulous headline:

                      “DOGE bites man.”
