Welcome to DC Thunderdome.

Thank you to Doge and four Wunderkind Coders in the Treasury basement. I learned This week, their governments have been announced to include Ireland’s “Day Musical,” Peru’s “Transgender Comics,” Vietnamese electric cars, and Anthony Fauci exhibition At the NIH Museum.

The new Code Brothers, a Trump administrator faster than Tesla’s Sliding Dicrous+ mode, is sifting through the financial ledger of American spending. For just 20 days, the new administration has saved hundreds of millions of US taxpayers. And as the third week of the president unfolded, the news got worse for Democrats and the permanent American bureaucratic nation. (Related: USAID wasted billions of dollars in tax money on programs that actively hurt Americans. Here’s the receipt)

It appears that the permanent bureaucracy borrowed the Soviet media playbook and poured millions into left-wing news organizations such as the New York Times, Politico and Reuters. Clearly, it wasn’t enough that Republicans in our national media outlet PBS and NPR newsrooms were rarer than the enthusiastic sentences from Kamala.

Meanwhile, Democrats have decided that this Death Starbundoglu of this worst case government spending is the hill they want to die for. Conservatives, along with Glee, saw Sen. Chuck Schumer, a Senator Maxine Waters, and led the Light Brigade accusations to the former headquarters of USAID. KUDO PYChant: “We Win!” (2025 Update – No, I didn’t).

Before everything Use porn (When Sen. John Kennedy dubbed it as the great Louisiana WAG), the Democratic polls were in the tremble, with 57% of disapproval ratings.

Do you think Dems will win the respect and admiration of the American people if they rush to the barricade to protect their uncontrollable spending? Expect their approval ratings to continue sinking like the Hindentanic.

USAID is just the beginning.

Wait until Doge bites the DoD. This has never passed an audit.

In 2019, while I was in my spare duty at the Pentagon, I was thrown into yet another meeting of PowerPoint Slides and Chokka Blocs, loved by the military. This particular meeting was to cover the results of the entire service audit. Summary of about 187 slides and 2 hours, which failed.

All the brass at the top of the room were heartfelt listened to the auditor. Auditors have said that $5 billion worth of short aircraft engines, leases of buildings that were not present, leases of buildings and land that are closer to age than modern spreadsheets, and several miles of David and several miles of David. explains Miles. credit.

As the junior executive in the room, I remained quiet, but I carefully studied my boss’s face. They kept quiet too, and just tweeted “next slide” as a disaster after a financial disaster flashed across the screen.

My inner finances hawk prayed that the service chief would turn the table over and channel Colonel Nathan.You can’t handle the truth“Jessep. But he remained calm and the meeting did not resolve whispers and plans for reform.

That night, leaving DC, I happened to bump into a very senior Republican senator at Reagan National Airport, considering my civic duty to share the early (uncategorized) events of the day. I suggested to a venerable budgeting agent telling him that the audit revealed billions of waste, fraud and abuse, and even asking him to look at his own failed audit.

(Hidewitness, who has worked in the US Senate for three years, knows how naive this moment is).

He pauses for a moment, then says, “Well, you know what these things are. It’s Washington for you.”

I felt sick at the time. This is the same feeling that many Americans have this week, just like seeing glyfts exposed in our country’s capital.

But the good news is that Trump and his Doge team have regained hope that the government will return to a robust financial foothold, with a right size.

When asked about the work Elon Musk is doing on Friday, the president said, “I think we’re very close to balancing our budget for the first time in years.”

What an appetizing prospect – a government spending within its means may truly bring America’s golden age promised in the president’s inaugural speech.
