Here is something that liberals don't understand, tax payer dollars are finding their way to fund programs that make no sense to main street, regardless of the arcane routes the dollars follow to get there.
Mike, you’re mistaken. Liberals, including me, absolutely understand that tax payer dollars are finding their way to fund programs that don’t make sense. Period.
I would applaud those that uncover this waste and stop it. Of course, that requires having professional auditors to take the time to understand the program to see if it’s actually waste, and then stop it.
In other words, it requires a scalpel.
Side bar: When I audited a corporate division or an independent corporation, if I found something that looked funny, I didn’t try to shut down the entity. Nor did I brag about how I found wasted money. The last day of the audit I sat down with CEO and reviewed my findings. On more than one occasion, the CEO had more information about the entity than I did, which was not the least bit shocking. I was there for 2 weeks, they were there every day. At times, potential audit issue became a non-issue once I got a full explanation.
Currently, that is not happening. First, there are no professional auditors, just an egomaniac accompanied by a bunch of young programmers. They use any excuse to shut down entire programs without finding out if they actually understand the “issue” they allegedly found.
And it turns out that the vast majority of the programs are beneficial to Americans, including farmers, researchers, and ordinary people like us.
Musk just assumes the worst, inflates or lies about the impact, tears it down and moves on. Rinse and repeat. They’re using a sledge hammer when a scalpel will do. Collateral damage? Who cares? Chaos? Who cares? Will it hurt ordinary Americans? Who cares?
In reality, this whole exercise has nothing to do with finding waste. If it was, why fire all the IGs? Why haven’t they hired professional auditors?
Because it’s all about breaking the system, and that will not end well for anyone, unless you’re a multi-billionaire of course.
