This is still the USA.
I’ll ask any question I want to ask as long as my tax $ are paying his salary.
Ha ha ha ha tax dollars! They don’t spend tax dollars. They spend borrowed money. It’s their own source of funds independent of taxpayers. That’s why there’s a deep state. If they tried to do everything they do with tax dollars, the public outcry would make them stop. Even liberals don’t like paying taxes. Deficits allow them to imagine that government creates money to spend on all sorts of things. The taxes are used to pay interest on the debt and pay back whatever it takes to keep the credit line.
