it can be bad or it can be good. Among the dozens of good things that republicans lack, perspective is right there.
Yesterday, the trump's bimbette was squealing about what a great week the trump was having because Musk found 20 million dollars of waste. Course just this week the trump
was trump slapped and flip flopped on Mexico, Canada, Iran and Gaza, so naturally finding 20 million in waste was a YUGE highlight.
But lets put it in perspective. Finding 20 million in waste in the Federal government is like pulling A weed
in a 10,000 acre organic garden that hasn't been tended
in 3 months. Sure by itself it's a good thing but celebrating it is utterly lacking scale.
Or lets put it another way. Finding 20 million in waste in the Federal government is like a person making 50,000 a year, finding a......nickel in wasteful spending.
Or lets put it another way. If the trump and Musk found
20 million in waste EVERY SINGLE day for the next 4 years that would totally eliminate less than 2% of the yearly deficit that the trump will run up EVERY YEAR.
or lets look at another perspective. Musk is busy trying
(illegally and unConstitutionally) to hack waste (and for the sake of steamrolling lets stipulate every dime he finds is total waste) from any department that may or may not produce tons of waste and totally ignoring the
major grift and graft of DEFENSE. I guarantee if 2% of the defense department was eliminated the squealing would lead to all of America needing hearing aids.
And now the two tiresome responses of our republican friends.
