How do you know they did not submit a request to the Treasury employee who routinely handles such requests and is authorized to enter transactions?Because a current Treasury official, Jonathan Blum (Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Treasury) said so.
From the link below:
Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency team has been given "read only" access to the Treasury Department's federal payment system, and federal expenditures have not been affected, the Treasury said in a letter to Congress late Tuesday.
The letter, from Jonathan Blum, a Treasury official, said that a review of the Treasury's Fiscal Service payment system has not caused "payments for obligations such as Social Security and Medicare to be delayed or re-routed."And, as I pointed out up thread, Musk himself claimed he had access to the system. Are you calling Musk a liar?
BHM:
As I said the libs in response to any question, assume the worst possible outcome, point out how evil Musk is, but never get around to agreeing that we should not be paying for DEI comic books in Peru. Or maybe you think we should.Of course I assume the worst possible outcome, and for 2 very good reasons:
1) I’ve worked as both an internal and external auditor. I’ve seen what happens when outsiders get access to sensitive programs. Trust me, it’s not good.
2) Both Trump and Musk are full of shit.
If you’re really concerned about DEI comic books, show me the proof that they even exist in the real world. I’m OK reducing waste.
But if you’re really serious about waste, why aren’t you angry that Trump fired 17 Inspector Generals across multiple agencies? Those guys knew the agency programs and knew where to find waste.
