I still can't get over the stupid name. "DOGE".

Stupidest name, I truly hate it.
Especially if we pronounce it "dough-ge"
In conversation, I feel forced to use the entire (non-acronym) name.

This is more-or-less (part of?) what DOGE purports to do. Just not the "complexes" that you want.

"illegal immigrants stay because they pay tax without getting social security."
Why not just make it global? Shouldn't social security should be a human right. Also, why make laws around citizenship if you do not want them?

Because it is a complex world of contradictions.
To cut debt why not say... increase corporation tax. Fix healthcare so it isn't a rip off. Deconstruct the various complexes: military, prison etc. Stop giving money to Israel.
Let illegal immigrants stay because they pay tax without getting social security.
I don't think Trump and Elon are serious people.
