Your argument is that the government doesn't waste money?

Are you sure that's a defensible position?

Nearby a vacation spot there is a sand dune next to the road, and a carpenter spent an afternoon building a ramp over it so that his son could drive his mobility scooter onto the beach. The city tore it down, then took over 2 years to build it back, worse quality, at a final cost of over $40,000.

What do you make of this story, and how did DOGE even attempt a fix?
