    If you haven�t watched the Bret Baier interviews on Fox News with Elon
    Musk and the other executives who have given their time and expertise to exposing the rampant fraud and inefficiency of our federal government, I
    urge you to do so.

    It will infuriate you- and that�s what we need right now.

    These Department of Government Efficiency volunteers are on a patriotic
    mission to repair our ship of state. They are hunting down the rats and scoundrels who have played us (we the taxpayers) for fools for so many
    years. It�s the greatest robbery- more than $1 trillion of fraud and corruption- in world history.

    Yet, too many Democrats are reacting as though Musk himself is the
    scoundrel.

    The �Musk-ateers� have marked nearly 10 million Social Security recipients
    over the age of 120 as deceased. (How many monthly checks were sent out?)
    How about $10 billion in rent for empty office buildings? Hundreds of
    millions of dollars for foreign aid programs that went to �nongovernmental government organizations� and then disappeared down a rabbit hole?
    Billions of dollars in fraudulent Medicaid spending? A federal workforce
    that has been MIA for three years?

    In the wake of this epic failure of governance, nearly every leading
    Democrat in Washington has protested: �Elon Musk is going too far.�

    They say that they are against waste too. But former Presidents Joe Biden
    and Barack Obama never lifted a finger to stop it. Washington hid behind a curtain of plausible deniability, even though we had scores of auditors
    and inspector general reports spotlighting the continuing raid on our
    federal fisc.

    Ripping off taxpayers is one of the biggest businesses in America. It�s so routine that it isn�t seen as a criminal action anymore but rather the
    cost of doing business inside the Beltway. Like paying off the mob.

    Why are Sens. Chuck Schumer and Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez not sharing in our collective outrage? Is it because they
    knew it was happening all along and feel guilty that they did nothing to
    stop it?

    Or maybe the real answer is that THEY ARE IN ON THE SWINDLE. This could
    explain how so many politicians spent their careers in Congress and
    retired as multimillionaires.

    In other words, what is most revealing about the Washington slime that we
    are waking up to in real time, thanks to DOGE, is that waste and fraud are
    the currency of Washington. It pays the bills, and everyone in the swamp
    gets their cut. Remember: One-third of $7 trillion is the stuff of
    fortunes.

    How else does one explain the $2.7 million that Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse allegedly directed/laundered to his wife via a nonprofit environmental
    group she worked for? This would clearly be graft, but it has gone
    unpunished.

    We are living through the harrowing last scene in a Hollywood murder
    mystery in which you discover that the chief of police was in on it all
    along.

    When confronted with the ocean of evidence of massive fraud in Washington, politicians reflexively change the subject to the rich �not paying their
    fair share of taxes.� Their solution to the culture of waste is to feed
    the beast with more money.

    In reality, perhaps the greatest public service of the Musk-ateers is that
    they have taught voters that Washington should never get another penny of
    our tax dollars until the sewer is completely drained and the tens of
    thousands of fraudsters inside and outside of government are put out of business and hopefully behind bars.
