In lengthy depositions, two DOGE employees Justin Fox and Nate Cavanaugh defended the effort to cut useless agencies as part of DOGEs attempt to reduce the federal deficit. You dont regret that people might have lost important income
to support their lives? an attorney asked Cavanaugh about the grant cancellations. No. I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit from $2 trillion to close to zero, Cavanaugh said. Did you reduce the federal deficit? the attorney asked. No, we didnt, Cavanaugh said.
Do you think its inappropriate in any way that someone in their 20s with no experience with grants for the federal government was making personal judgment calls about what grants to cancel? an attorney asked. Um, no. I dont think its inappropriate, Cavanaugh said, arguing that he did not need formal education or experience to make informed judgments.
Did you ever find it problematic that you were, alongside Nate, short-listing for termination projects that had hits on words like Black, homosexual, LGBTQ+? an attorney asked, prompting an objection and follow up question. We were identifying wasteful spend in the government based on administration direction. That was the whole reason we were there, was to find savings, Fox said, though he acknowledged the deficit was never reduced.

One would think these skeevy, smarmy little rats would be afraid of the backlash of what they have done, by the people they did it to. They destroyed lives and had no actual afterthoughts of the damage at the whim of Musk and Donold. Horrible. Shameful. Karma needs to come calling.
