Expensive Axes of Diggety-DOGE

Fact-filled DOGE salaries

By Andrea Corwin Published 10 months ago 1 min read

Where power and budgets collide, Elon’s tech team thrives

Receiving immense salaries, those outsiders are crashing the inside hives

Kingly-paid Kyle in the Office of the Deputy Administrator at GSA gets lucrative pay, pocketing $195,200 per year

One step-down is Jeremy in the GSA Administrator’s Office, so sad, $167,000 - his pay for beer

Now the kid, age 28, does interviews of seasoned workers, Nate he is called, but $120,500 is all he clears

Reports and facts matter and proven is DOGE funding that in February came in at $40 million

So America, is it amusing for DOGE to be cruising, wreaking havoc in lives, while sitting high on the hog?

Now is it more visible in your eyes?

A big scam is working, a bigger one being worked up for play, but maybe if you buy some bitcoin, join the crypto world - you'll become rich - just watch out not to end up in a desolate debacle of a ditch

    Doge is a scam, I’m pretty sure’! Anyway, great poem!

    It pays to be careful when dealing with anything now-a-days. Good job.

  • Ugh, scams everywhere. Loved your poem!

    It's ironic how it takes with one hand and then gives it back to those that take. I don't live in America, thank goodness. But I feel that the whole attitude of America is being driven toward an unhealthy situation of becoming a cold-hearted profit-oriented business and no longer being recognized as a country with a heart and some compassion for others. Sorry, I got carried away. I like your story, though, Andrea, cleverly done.

  • Not a master of what goes on between the two, but I would definitely say this.....there is a lot of shadiness there. Great expression, Andrea.

    I have never felt more depressed after watching the address to congress the other night. This was fab - well done Andrea, especially for raising awareness.

    So true, Andi. Also maddening and disheartening. We need to start taking it to the streets.
