Democrats Loved Idea of DOGE Before Trump, White House Quips
Polls Show DOGE Has Remained Popular With Americans
The White House is taking aim at Democratic critics of the Department of
Government Efficiency (DOGE), highlighting that the new agency's work was
once championed by prominent Democrats.
"To all of the Democrats who are planning to protest this week, here's an
explanation on DOGE, from your party's own beloved leaders," White House
press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a post on X Sunday while sharing a
video of former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden calling for reforms
similar to those being made by DOGE.
"Budget reform is not an option, it's a necessity," Obama says in the video.
"We can't sustain a system that bleeds billions of taxpayer dollars on
programs that have outlived their usefulness or exist solely because of the
power of politicians, lobbyists or interest groups."
"The American people are entitled to transparency," Biden says in the video.
"They're entitled to be able to figure out where their dollars are going, and
they're entitled to accountability to make sure that we're using the dollars
for what we said it was for."
Democrats have ramped up their attacks on DOGE and its leader, billionaire
Elon Musk, over the past week, arguing that Trump's project is a violation of
the Constitution and filing several lawsuits in an effort to bring the new
department's momentum to a halt.
But Leavitt pointed out that many of DOGE's priorities used to be the same
across the aisle, especially for the two most well-known Democratic leaders.
"We are going to go through our federal budget... page by page, line by line,
eliminating those programs we don't need, and insisting that those that we do
need operate in a sensible, cost-effective way, " Obama says during a speech
in one portion of the video.
"What should be easy is getting rid of the pointless waste and stupid
spending that doesn't benefit anybody, " Obama says during another point of
the video from the Oval Office, where the then-president is seated next to a
large stack of papers. "No amount of waste is acceptable, not when it's your
money."
"We hope to be instilling an entire new culture, that not only our
administration, but every succeeding administration will in fact pursue, "
Biden says at another point in the video.
