As Elon and the Muskateers start to pull back the fiscal treason at USAID it has been an eye-opening experience.
We are now seeing un-elected bureaucrats and politicians squealing like stuck hogs over DOGE uncovering things that should have every taxpayer in this county upset.
I'll be honest I think that the fiscal irresponsibility that is being brought to light is actually the tip of the iceberg concerning how nefarious government spending has been.
It is my hope that as DOGE bird dogs and brings to light these "Programs" that we have been funding that the DOJ along with a host of forensic auditors start to trace and confirm where our money has been going.
It wouldn't surprise me to find out that a lot of our money has been going to shell corporations and NGOs connected to family and friends of elected politicians and bureaucrats and may those that are guilty of embezzling our money suffer the maximum penalty.

What does anyone know about the Musk team?
Presumably they are experienced and professional, with proven track records of accounting, auditing and criminal fraud skills. Maybe retired IRS or law enforcement officers? Mr. Reed described them as "muskateers."
From FoxNews, the teams consists of six young men between the ages of 19 and 24: Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger and Ethan Shaotran. These young men have taken up various roles furthering the DOGE agenda. (Foxnews.com 2/4/2025)
Musk posted to the social platform X, which he owns, “USAID is a criminal organization. Time for it to die.”
How could the Musk team come to the conclusion, in less than two weeks, that USAID was such a criminal organization? Their authority for examination, if it even legally exists, commenced on 1/20/2025, not 11/5/2024 (election day).
Is allowing Musk and his presumably unsupervised "kiddy korps" the keys to the kingdom is even remotely intelligent? I suspect that these young men were not vetted for the skills needed to root out corruption and waste. Nor are they likely to have skills to keep their mission for devolving into witch hunts directed from above. And they certainly have no legal skills.
Maybe "mouseketeers" is more accurate. And we should easily see why the inspectors general were summarily fired.
Everyone should easily see that a newly created bureaucrat reporting solely to the President, without confirmation or vetting by Congress, clearly shows Trump's dictatorial intent. But who will they believe: the reasonableness of rational conclusion about Musk, or the MAGA leader?

When the team gets to the Department of Defense and Department of Agriculture we’ll know they mean business, not to mention the Department of Transportation, roads are just fine. The Department of Energy - we will see about that when the Secretary with oil talent realizes oil is in the Department of Interior.
