Fired federal workers in Iowa hint at larger economic losses for the state

In typical fashion, Ashley Hinson refused to answer when questioned about the sudden, chaotic nature of the firings and their potential impact on Iowa residents.

Looks like she answered the question. I didn’t read anything about her refusing to answer.
Can’t imagine posting a link and not knowing what it says and making up something else.

“DOGE has uncovered a ridiculous amount of government waste, and I fully support President Trump’s efforts to eliminate unnecessary bureaucracy and make the government run more efficiently for taxpayers.”

DOGE has made a bunch of claims without producing any evidence of fraud. Most of what they’ve claimed has been shown to be false.

She gave a non answer.

Yet I just watched a video that a lib posted that showed an educated democrat saying doge has only found $50 billion so far.
Is that not producing any evidence of fraud?
I mean he seems to think $50 billion is too small of a number apparently.
DOGE could find $50 trillion and you guys would still find a way to bitch about it.

Cutting a certain amount of money, 50 billion or $5, does not in any way equate to that much fraud. It just means that's how much you've cut. They certainly haven't found any fraud to match the level of money they've cut. Only a moron thinks those two things mean the same thing.

What @sabula said. To my knowledge they haven’t found any fraud at all. At least at any levels other than what you’d expect in government. What they’ve found is a bunch of spending they didn’t agree with. The way to fix that is through legislation. Not through a group of kids with email.

Friggin beautiful in its complete denial of reality. I dig it cause it guarantees a continued slide for the dem party. Im sure you think the Biden’s are just dedicated public servants😂.

To what @sabula said. You guys want to get into specifics about what she said based on the fact you believe no fraud was found.
Yet the op said that Hinson didn’t answer the question when asked about people losing jobs. I quoted what she said and it was in fact an answer. You should probably get on him for his baseless claim as well.
plus you seem to want to get on me about her not giving an answer that you liked because it’s made up crap. Then you should probably not make up that it’s kids with emails doing the searching for doge.

Kids and email is a good start, and the legislation will follow,.. DOGE runs through 7/4/26 so lots of time left to do good work...

Who said no fraud was found? There was probably fraud in some of those cuts, I think everybody can appreciate that in a billion dollar government. What was said, to help you with reading comprehension, is that the $$ level of cuts does not equal that same $$ level of found fraud. And as I mentioned, only a moron would think it does.

Repeating a lie isn't the same as answering a question.
She's going to own the cuts to the VA, Ag...

What “fraud” has DOGE uncovered? I think the word “fraud” is being grossly over used…and incorrectly used by the current administration. But, it does make for great fake news headlines.
 
Mississippi North Congressional delegation is gonna have to justify the WH actions very soon.

Combined with lower commodity prices, there's already a very large pissed off ag industry right now.
And with the WH intent on cutting the budget, I don't see subsidies saving agriculture this time.

The cult lemmings eat it up, without even being able to use their brain about what it actually means. Bonespurs understands that, it's what he ran on for 4 years to get elected.

Exactly fraud would be using the money for something other that what was authorized or embezzlement. If they've found fraud they certainly haven't told the American people the details.

Ashley Hinson has not directly answered a question in years. She's too busy humming for Bonespurs to think for herself
I’m pretty sure she’s humming on food considering how much weight she put on the last few years.
Again, she still answered the question. It just happened to be a lame generic response like “that’s football”.

Maybe because there isn’t really “fraud” involved? Now lack of oversight I can believe…but “fraud” is against the law, right? However “fraud” guarantees headlines but it has to be proven.

I think at this point the economic effect will be very chilling overall. I doubt many of us will escape this one.

Hence why I made the decision to pull funds I can control out of the markets this week. I’ll take my profits.

How does one measure ‘level of fraud found’?
If we’re not using the count of dollars saved, what is the measure, what’s the unit?
 
I would agree that the term "fraud" is being bantered about far too much in regards to this DOGE topic,.. There's no need to call out fraud where it doesn't exist,... Correctly tagging this stuff as wasteful, stupid, and idiotic will suffice.

Meanwhile, trillions of dollars have been stolen from us by the oligarchs. You’re just another example of the uneducated taking the oligarchs bait.

Agree.

At this point, I think the only question is just how bad the Trump economy becomes?
It certainly seems like this WH is preparing to gaslight inflation and likely blame sumtin, sumtin Biden.

Those 4-5% CDs and money markets are looking pretty damn good right about now.

And yet every item was approved by Congress and signed/approved by an elected and confirmed president. To my knowledge it is illegal for a president to refuse to spend monies appropriated by congress. Yet you seem to be fine with this president breaking the law.

Love it too it only took Trump one month to get underwater on his approval ratings.

No fraud has been found. And I bet there is absolutely no fraud in any of these cuts.

People are just so freaking misinformed about the government and how it spends money. When they get to the defense department I'm sure there will fraud if it's actually looked at seriously.

But nothing Musk and Doge have done so far has been serious.

Gold is looking a lot better, preferably the tangible type
