“We don’t have special rights for anyone. We have equal rights for everybody.” -Tom Allen
Margaret Thatcher once reminded us, “You’d be surprised at what a few dedicated patriots will do to make their country a better place to live in. In fact, they are the only people who try to do so!”
America was not founded but invented by a group of Enlightenment thinkers who studied classical past governments in order to create a perfect union of independent colonies. It was fashioned by a small group of patriots led by Thomas Paine in reaction to abuse from the King of England and demands put upon them by the British army. The United States was the first government formed under the principles of Enlightenment that man could self-govern and correct his imperfect flaws.
You have to have been asleep at the wheel for the last century to understand why those on the left, who have been complaining most about government waste, are now chastising President Donald Trump for creating an agency to cut down on government waste. Instead of welcoming this new found pool of in-house detectives, headed by one of the most efficient businessmen in history, Elon Musk, most everyone on the left is assailing DOGE, The Department of Government Efficiency.
At one time in our history, daily news reporters were hailed as watchdogs of government for the people. Regrettably, those watchdogs turned into lapdogs when they saw the benefit of protecting rather than exposing government corruption. No matter how much people complained, especially on the left about government waste and corruption, nothing has been done to halt worldwide media infection.
“People are very gullible. They will believe anything they see in print.” – E.B. White
When Trump announced he was creating a government watchdog agency to cut down on government waste by reducing non-essential and unnecessary duplicate overlapping positions in federal agencies, the left, which was were complaining most about federal waste, was not jumping for joy. Instead, they were squealing like pigs on their way to the local bacon factory about DOGE? Their relentless attacks on Elon Musk and DOGE clearly show they are no friend to U.S. taxpayers.
Obviously, Democrats want it both ways. They are not against government waste and fraud if it benefits them and their progressive agenda. They support programs that suck up taxpayer money and redistribute it to finance a catalogue of federal giveaway social programs that buy them votes.
Resistance to DOGE is coming from progressives Maxine Waters, D-Ca and Elizabeth Warren D-Mass. Sen Warren helped create the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which could be gutted. The irony is Warren claims Elon Musk answers to nobody yet her CFPB reports to nobody at the federal level.
“I’m a strong Black woman, and I cannot be intimidated. I cannot be undermined.” – Maxine Waters
Of course, the lapdog liberal media opposes Musk’s investigations. The New York Times reported in a recent dubious headline that President Trump and Elon Musk “are making broad Claims of Fraud Without Proof?” Of course, Musk did not haul out spreadsheets chronicling his abundance of facts.
Democrats and their media allies are running and hiding from millions in federal fraud and waste.
Under Joe Biden, the non-partisan Government Accountability Office that reviewed several years of data estimated a year ago that “the federal government could lose between $233 billion and $521 billion annually to fraud.” You’d think that after receiving such a draconian report, that up to half a trillion in taxpayer money had been stolen each year by fraudsters, the government would have called out everyone in DC who was remotely involved for a full-blown audit and investigation.
The GAO responded, “Given the scope of this problem, a government-wide approach is required to address this.” The GAO set up strict parameters, including the need to identify methods to expand government-wide estimates of fraud.” We are still waiting on a response from the executive branch.
When Donald Trump signed the “Implementing The President’s Department of Government Efficiency Workforce Optimization Initiative,” it was meant to “restore accountability to the American public.” DOGE is supposed to “reduce the size of the federal government’s workforce through efficiency improvements and attrition.” It especially targets “offices that perform non mandated functions.”
“We all knew Trump and the Republicans planned to cut Social Security?” – Chuck Schumer
According to the Federal Register, there are 441 federal agencies, many of which most people have never heard of. And federal investigations have discovered that over half of these agencies are over-staffed and over-financed and many of them meet once or twice a year, if at all?
The federal bureaucracy needs constant scrutiny, but the left wants status quo. The liberal media says that “Musk’s team is operating in deep secrecy, surprising federal employees by descending upon agencies and gaining access to sensitive data, yet Elon has a top security clearance.” Musk retorted, “I don’t know of any case where an organization has been more transparent than DOGE.”
Some Democrats who dared to speak up said they support cutting some wasteful spending from the federal government, but none by Elon Musk? Democrats led by Sen Schumer have been highly critical of Musk’s leadership of DOGE, claiming that he is an “outsider” and does not know the protocols of government and has no business making those decisions. Yet it is very common for businesses to call in independent auditors and advisors if they smell a preverbal rat.
DOGE has spent a month entering federal agencies and uncovering billions in spending from the federal government that most any administration would consider wasteful if they were facing the taxpayers whose pockets they have been picking for years. Yet the left is burying their heads in the sand.
“When you bury your head in the sand, you leave your backside exposed!” – Gary Hopkins
We have only had two presidents that were patriots: George Washington and Donald Trump. Our founders did not want politicians in our government. They felt the most patriotic citizens would step up and lead America to greatness. Too bad Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton ruined this at the 1st Congress. Only a patriot like Trump would offer to split the DOGE savings with taxpayers and government.
The left has become the party of special interests and big business. They need to control the purse in DC in order to survive. The marriage of two self-made billionaires, not “beltway” politicians, has put the left in panic mode and they see no way out. These two patriotic citizens want to give the government back to the people while the left wants to maintain control over it and its spending.
Shame on them.
“That people on the political left have a certain set of opinions, just as people do in other parts of the ideological spectrum, is not surprising. What is surprising, however, is how often the opinions of those on the left are accompanied by hostility and even hatred.” – Thomas Sowell
