Dog subjects the bureaucracy of death through humiliation – San Bernardino Sun

I’m sorry PT Barnum is not alive to see this.

The biggest show on Earth is the new Ministry of Efficiency of the Government. If it started as a joke (Dog was a dog’s internet and then sardonically called crypto coin), now it’s no joke. A chosen billionaire and appointed billionaire demonstrate that any enterprise that conducts nearly $ 2 trillion dollars annual deficits can use audit.

Years ago, the founder of The Washington Monthly, Charlie Peters, invented the phrase “Fire the Firemen First” to describe how the bureaucracy reacts when a new harvest from selected employees offers cutting the budget.

Immediately bureaucrats will announce that the abbreviations inevitably mean death and suffering, since every dollar in their department is consumed so well and effectively that there was no one that could be cut before the blade cut into basic maintenance services of life.

Each budget item had its own constituency and its defenders at the congress, all of which gave interviews and posing for photos. The news coverage will alert the public with the horror drum, which will be unleashed by the first dollar from the reduction of the budget.

By the time a government special effectiveness group was appointed, it hired its teams of employees and settled in their new office space, the next election campaign began in Congress and that was the end. Only the report on 750 pages a year later remains to mark the final vacation spot.

Not this time.

If you follow the Elon Musk purchase saga on Twitter, you will remember that he immediately fired about 80% of employees, called the company “crime scene”, invited reporters to look at the company’s internal communications, struggling with shady efforts to encourage advertiser boycott and He publicly told people who are trying to “blackmail” him with advertising to “go (explicative) yourself.”

Twitter, renamed X, flourished.

File reporting on Twitter revealed efforts to manage the state to control and manipulate platforms and news organizations on social media. Emails from the FBI, the Ministry of Interior Security and other agencies, even the White House, documents pressure, threats and secret censorship in violation of the first amendment. Musk made it transparent.

And Biden’s administration came to him with revenge, launching numerous investigations from his companies by multiple agencies.

This is the background for what you see now. Dog goes through government buildings like US troops in Baghdad after the fall of Saddam Hussein.

“We are going in order as far as the books of the federal government are concerned,” said White House press secretary Carolyn Levitt on Wednesday.

What is different this time is the technique. The Musk team is made up of software geniuses for writing code legally authorized to enter the government’s information technology. They seem to create search engines to hunt wasteful state contracts and expenses. For example, they found that the federal government spends $ 8 million on Politico subscriptions suitable for democrats political news.

“The Doge team is working to cancel these payments now,” Levit said.

The Dog submits the bureaucracy of death through humiliation. Did you hear that USAID has spent $ 1.5 million on its hard -earned money on DEI programs in Serbia? Or $ 47,000 for a transsexual opera in Colombia?

They have not even reached the long -standing problem of “incorrect payments”, the money that the government sends for a mistake or fraud.
