According to many comments, the US government DOES use SQL, and Musk is not understanding much what's going on.

What blank cheques exactly?

The ones where USAID literally just approved every single thing that came into their inbox.

It seems like the USA government didn't even have a real budget, they just kept handing out money to all the NGOs that threw most of it back their (the politicians) way. They definitely don't have an auditable budget.

Is there massive waste in the defense industry? Absolutely - and DOGE will get there. They've been at the job for like 2 weeks, they haven't gotten to every single nook and cranny.

you forgot about covid stimulus checks to businesses that were not returned?

We weren't talking about them, but sure, that's government waste and was massively fraudulent too.
