Thank you for referencing that article EBH. Please note that the following critique is directed at the hearing and not at you.

"WATCH LIVE: Marjorie Taylor Greene Leads First Congressional DOGE Hearing"


The hearing is disturbing imo because lawmakers and witnesses are merely (but importantly) emphasizing fraudulent, wasteful federal spending instead of the unconstitutional taxing and spending of an unconstitutionally big federal government.

In fact, PDJT47 and Musk's concern about wasteful, unaccountable spending overlooks unconstitutional federal taxing and spending.

In other words. PDJT47 and Musk are actually missing the target by seemingly promoting an unconstitutionally big federal government that is efficiently run.

PDJT47 has his sights aimed too low imo.

"Article I, Section 9, Clause 7: No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time [emphasis added]."

“an unconstitutionally big federal government that is efficiently run.”

That was my big concern when it was named Dept. of Government EFFICIENCY.

I want a far smaller, constitutionally constrained government, not an EFFICIENT government that nibbles away at a bit of “waste, fraud and abuse.”

So I’ve been pleasantly surprised at the wrecking ball approach we’ve seen in the past three weeks. Trump’s order yesterday about massive fedgov layoffs is great news.

Now he has to battle the ultra-liberal courts and judges.
