Should Americans be scared of what DOGE is doing? There has been an effort to terrify Americans who legitimately depend on the government for entitlements.
You may have heard some of these things (usually said or implied by politicians), but these fears have simple answers:
1. "Unelected officials are running the Department of Government Efficiency!" Yes, although the president was elected by the people of the United States, the staff of DOGE were not elected by the people.
But that should not alarm you. The federal government already had nearly two million unelected people working for it.
2. "Maybe Elon Musk, the head of DOGE, will steal my social security checks!" He won't do that because he already is the richest person in the world, and he has several companies that are profitable. If he wanted more money, he could spend his time helping his companies.
3. "Entitlements like social security and medicaid will be cut!" The president has said more than once that they will not be cut.
