Musk truly claimed DOGE would discover $2 trillion in wasteful spending earlier than reneging.
“That’s a businessman’s approach to a government,” Haines added. “This is the public sector, not the private sector. You don’t come in with numbers. You come in, you learn, you become an expert at what everyone is doing, what their role is, who is essential.”
Haines argued that solely then are you able to “say it’s realistic” to fireside a selected variety of folks.
Pleasure Behar finally couldn’t assist herself and, after processing her colleague’s perspective on the matter, joked, “Wow, that sounds like a lefty to me.”
