The strategy is sound. Start with a small, corrupt agency like USAID, an agency so far off mission that the waste and fraud is easily proven, and then move to full departments like Education and Defense. Let the American people understand DOGE audits in real terms and then expand to a much grander scale.

Which is exactly what DOGE has announced and is exactly what DOGE is doing. As a natural consequence of policy transparency, DOGE’s success enjoys the continued support of the American people.
