To be clear, what the @DOGE team and @USTreasury have jointly agreed makes sense is the following:

- Require that all outgoing government payments have a payment categorization code, which is necessary in order to pass financial audits. This is frequently left blank, making…

We need to either start a new thread about all the court cases that are coming about as a result of this cleansing of the Deep State or keep this thread updating every time a new freeze/order gets placed on one of DOGE's activities.

All this stuff needs to be accelerated to the Supreme Court ASAP.

April 04, 1995
More than 2 years ago, I promised to fix the Federal Government. I was firmly convinced that we could do more with less, that we could create a Government that was leaner but not meaner, and that we could make Government our partner rather than a problem.

I established the National Performance Review and put Vice President Gore in charge. He and his team have helped to transform Government, to cut bureaucracy and redtape, and to find ways to give the American people the service they deserve. At the same time, my economic plan is bringing down the deficit by more than $600 billion, and we are proposing another $81 billion in deficit reduction in the budget I recently sent to Congress.

A major element of my strategy was my commitment to streamline and cut the Federal work force. For too long in Washington, we have had too many layers of bureaucracy, too many workers whose main job was to check on the work of other workers rather than to perform useful work themselves. As the National Performance Review noted, we had good people trapped in bad systems. I promised to cut the work force, and that's what I'm doing. Through our efforts, we have already cut the work force by 102,000 positions and we are on track to cut it by a total of 272,900 positions, bringing it to its smallest size since John Kennedy was President.

Early last year, Congress approved my request to allow non-Defense agencies to offer buyouts of up to $25,000 a person. The Defense Department and a few other agencies already could offer buyouts under existing law. Because normal attrition will help us downsize in the future, we offered buyouts only until March 31, 1995, which was last Friday.
Looking back, I can safely say that our buyout program has been a huge success. It achieved what we had hoped: to help us cut the work force in a fiscally responsible and humane way.
To reduce the work force by 102,000 positions by the end of fiscal 1994, we offered about 70,000 buyouts. Several non-DOD agencies have offered deferred buyouts that will take place between now and March 1997. Defense will be using buyouts as it continues to downsize through 1999. Counting those, we expect to buy out another 84,000 workers through 1997 as we reduce the work force by a total of 272,900 positions.

Did anyone freak out when Bill Clinton did this?

Liberals were less stupid, and did not feel as entitled to other people's earnings back then.
Now they are just sanctimonious, worthless leeches.

She was also acting director for the David Rubenstein center for WH history before that. The David Rubenstein Trump just fired from the Kennedy Center.

I hope there's a plan here as the woman who now has replaced her, in that role again, Debrah Seidel Wall, is also complete scum and is the one who really played along to get the FBI to ransack Mar A Lago for documents they already had copies of, and oh by the way made guards at the national archives remove any pro-life stance stuff.

National Archives may seem mundane vs. other stuff but they've injected their TDS leadership into the political world quite heavily the past 10-20 years.

Probably everyone else on this website besides you I guess….

Most of us care about this place a lot.

Universities are going to fall apart when they lose all this research funding and we are going to fall behind very in innovation compared to the rest of the world.
