THE HIGH COST OF SAVINGS

The Department of Government Efficiency
calls it streamlining,
cutting fat from the bone—
but the marrow ran the systems.

Now the portal stalls,
error messages
pile up like heavy winter snow.

Cut the fraud team,
fire the inspectors who root out fraud, waste, and abuse,
cancel phone appointments,
close offices, change rules—
then gasp as the flood waters rise.

All in the name of savings—
but send the bill
to those who wait for sustenance payments,
who lose their homes
because a keystroke
no one was left to type
never happened.

The president flies
to his own resorts—
security swarming, motorcades humming—
calls it official,
charges it to the people.
Green fees as policy.
Hundreds of millions
sunk into his own sand traps.

Let’s call a watchdog a dog,
rename it the Office of Government Inefficiency—
barks and bites,
sniffing around,
pissing on the real work.

DOGI tears the fat from the bone,
cracks it open to suck out the marrow,
until nothing is left
but billionaire tax cuts
paid for by supporting fools
sinking in the sand traps.

Anonymous confesses: "As a civil servant who has survived a few decades of shifts from one administration to another, no other has been as recklessly destructive as this one. And DOGE was on the front lines. In their supposed efforts to root out fraud, waste and abuse, they fired the Inspector Generals and entire departments dedicated to enhancing efficiencies. Past administrations have done questionable things. This one has been downright criminal."
