The Government Agency That Memed Itself Into Existence

There are times when the internet flexes its meme magic so hard that reality just gives up and goes along with the joke.

This is one of those times.

DOGE.

Not the dog. Not the coin. The Department of Government Efficiency.

Yes, we actually live in a timeline where the federal government was literally memed into cutting its own budget.

What a time to be alive.

A trillion dollars in cuts by 2026 is the goal, and believe it or not, they’re actually making progress. Wouldn’t it be crazy if they actually pulled this off?!

I never thought I’d live to see a day when instead of bloating, expanding, and inventing new ways to waste taxpayer money, a government agency is actively identifying useless programs, redundant agencies, and straight-up scams that should never have even existed—and then just nuking them.

Over the weekend, the DOGE team gained access to the Treasury’s payment system and immediately got to work assessing how trillions in benefits, grants, and tax refunds are distributed annually.

(Spoiler: it’s even worse than we imagined.)

My gosh, I love this.

And speaking of love, you’re gonna love this:

It’s the perfect way to give your kids (or grandkids) something meaningful—because let’s be honest, those conversation heart candies are awful, and no one actually wants them.

Hmm… I wonder if DOGE could get rid of all the terrible “traditional” holiday candies while they’re at it? 

(Looking at you, candy corn.) 

Maybe I’ll email Elon, but for now I’m stoked to see what the future of “government efficiency” brings us.

A year ago, I’d have scoffed at the idea that the government could ever do anything efficiently—and with good reason! But it looks like they might actually pull this off.

If they do, I’ll never be so happy to stand corrected.
