So we should waste countless millions of dollars , employing thousands of useless people, just in case there is a natural disaster somewhere else in the world? By the time those dolts immobilize with massive unnecessary cost, remedies will already be in place, probably led by the Israelis.

Nobody said DOGE was perfect, but you have to start someplace, cutting the waste or else we will be saddling future generations with insurmountable debt. Things and processed can be added back.
