Where’s the outrage over government waste?

Elon Musk and DOGE revealed many opportunities to eliminate waste, fraud and abuse from government spending, and there was a huge outcry and violence in opposition to saving our tax dollars – even though many previous administrations proposed the same thing, apparently with the American people agreeing with such action.

Now Minnesota, Maine, Ohio and Washington are all accused of spending tax dollars improperly. The “mainstream” media by in large is silent on the matter and some cases actually supporting the fraud.

This is an outrage that our tax dollars are wasted and even reportedly going to support terrorists organizations. We are the victims, not those who are now to be deprived of receiving our tax money.

In addition the political officials who are either complicit or incompetent are feeling no heat from the electorate. Unbelievable! Makes one wonder how many more states, including Colorado, are fraudulently wasting our tax dollars.
