Democrats cannot have it both ways. They are either against waste and fraud sucking up taxpayer dollars, or they are for it.

And their relentless attacks on Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency make it clear which side they’re on. Spoiler alert: It’s not the side of the taxpayer.

Resistance to DOGE is coming from many quarters. Loopy Democrats like Maxine Waters, who is vowing to “fight!” (what exactly?); ambitious radicals like Sens. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who is irate that her pet project, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, may be gutted. It is ironic that Warren is howling about Musk being “unaccountable” when her main achievement in the Senate was the creation of a bureau that answers to no one.

The ever-helpful leftist media also opposes Musk’s investigations, of course. The New York Times reported on a recent Oval Office event with President Trump and the multibillionaire, deploying this hilarious propaganda headline: “Appearing with Trump, Musk makes broad Claims of Federal Fraud Without Proof.” To be clear, an abundance of proof exists, even if Musk did not haul out spreadsheets chronicling all the monies purloined from the federal government. Democrats and their media allies just don’t want to look for all the fraud and waste — and they certainly don’t want you to see it.

After all, it was the non-partisan Government Accountability Office........
