Should you haven’t watched the Bret Baier interviews on Fox Information with Elon Musk and the opposite executives who’ve given their time and experience to exposing the rampant fraud and inefficiency of our federal authorities, I urge you to take action.
It can infuriate you — and that’s what we want proper now.
These Division of Authorities Effectivity volunteers are on a patriotic mission to restore our ship of state. They’re looking down the rats and scoundrels who’ve performed us (we the taxpayers) for fools for thus a few years. It’s the best theft — greater than $1 trillion of fraud and corruption — in world historical past.
But too many Democrats are reacting as if Musk himself is the scoundrel.
The “Musk-ateers” have marked practically 10 million Social Safety recipients over the age of 120 as deceased. (What number of month-to-month checks had been despatched out?) How about $10 billion in hire for empty workplace buildings? A whole lot of thousands and thousands of {dollars} for overseas assist applications that went to “nongovernmental authorities organizations” after which disappeared down a rabbit gap? Billions of {dollars} in fraudulent Medicaid spending? A federal workforce that has been MIA for 3 years?
Within the wake of this epic failure of governance, practically each main Democrat in Washington has protested: “Elon Musk goes too far.”
They are saying that they’re in opposition to waste too. However former Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama by no means lifted a finger to cease it. Washington hid behind a curtain of believable deniability, although we had scores of auditors and inspector basic reviews spotlighting the persevering with raid on our federal fisc.
Why are Sens. Chuck Schumer and Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez not sharing in our collective outrage?
What’s most revealing in regards to the Washington slime that we’re waking as much as in actual time due to DOGE is that the waste and fraud is the foreign money of Washington. It pays the payments, and everybody within the swamp will get their lower. Bear in mind: One third of $7 trillion is the stuff of fortunes.
When confronted with the ocean of proof of large fraud In Washington, politicians reflexively change the topic to the wealthy “not paying their justifiable share of taxes.” Their resolution to the tradition of waste is to feed the beast with extra money.
In actuality, maybe the best public service of the Musk-ateers is that they’ve taught voters that Washington ought to by no means get one other penny of our tax {dollars} till the sewer is totally drained and the tens of 1000’s of fraudsters inside and outdoors of presidency are put out of enterprise and hopefully behind bars.
