Because he’s an uninspiring, play-along, talking-point politician who parrots others and doesn’t have an original idea in his body, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt—desperate to stay relevant in his final lame-duck days—announced during his State of the State address that he’s launching his own little OKIE DOGE to whip Oklahoma’s fledgling, cash-strapped government into financial shape.
And after only a few months, the results of this churn—which will supposedly save taxpayers so much money—are already starting to roll in.
According to this News 9 piece that feels like sponsored propaganda, Stitt has already saved the state THOUSANDS of dollars. Even cooler, he now has his very own robot lawnmower army to serve as his personal faith militant.
Via News 9:
"Governor Kevin Stitt is pushing forward with DOGE OK, an initiative aimed at identifying and eliminating government inefficiencies and waste. The program, first announced in his State of the State address, is projected to save Oklahoma approximately $818,000 through targeted cost-cutting measures."
Wow! Stitt was able to “save” $818,000 from Oklahoma’s $12.6 billion budget! I’m not good at Craig Humphreys’ new math, but that’s like 0.0065%. Sure, that’s a bit like bragging about the nickel you found in the couch cushion of the DHS waiting room, but I guess this proves that OKIE DOGE isn’t just some clickbait piggyback publicity campaign that Stitt will slap on his résumé when he pursues his next career move—whether as President of Oklahoma State or a member of the Ron DeSantis, Trump Jr., or Joe Exotic presidential cabinet.
