OPINION:
For proof of the dumbed-down state of education and intellect in America, look no further than the antics of the Democrats (“Democrats out themselves as corrupt by crying at USAID cuts,” Web, Feb.11).
Screaming about Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, “stealing” taxpayers’ money (when in fact he is uncovering the blatant misappropriation of funds) is not just childish; it is demented.
Even worse, the Democrats’ petulance is shameless. For years they and their RINO allies have ignored and condoned the freewheeling abuse of taxpayer money by unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats in the U.S. Agency for International Development.
Rooting out these robber barons and promoting efficiency in the federal government is to be applauded by any sane, common-sense person. But then, as Mark Twain might have said, that would exclude the Democrats in Congress.DUNCAN DU BOIS
