OPINION:
Why would any tax-paying American citizen oppose efforts — undertaken through a legitimate audit process — to expose and eliminate federal expenditures that are inappropriate, wasteful, fraudulent and perhaps even illegal (“Democrats focus on Musk, ignore MTG’s plea for bipartisanship at first DOGE subcommittee meeting,” Web, Fe. 12)?
It is interesting to note that those most vehemently opposed to these waste-elimination efforts are Democratic politicians, certain members of the mainstream media and even some federal judges.
However, upon reflection, something becomes obvious: Those fighting an audit of current federal expenditures are in some way the beneficiaries of the problematic spending in question and simply don’t want to see them terminated.
