Opus 2026-116: Sic ‘Em

One of the items announced at the State of the Union Address was that vice president Vance would be heading a task force to try and deal with the fraud that is rampant in government.  I wish him luck.  I would suggest that he increase his security details and make sure that everybody is on his team.  He will be in the crosshairs if he gets close to reaching the goal.

I would suggest that one of the first things he should do is sit down with Elon Musk and try to revive DOGE.  They showed remarkable results in the brief time they were allowed to operate.  The geeks that were brought in did an awesome job of revealing waste.  I’m afraid that much of it was swept under the rug.  I think that’s one of the reasons why Musk walked away.  I think he’s enough of a patriot that he would at least throw his influence behind bringing back some of those young people.

I think some people would tell us that it is still in operation.  It may be, but if it is, it is so handicapped with regulations and control that nothing is getting done.  We need a revival of DOGE.  I don’t know if you heard it, but one of the things that Trump said, which I have said so it must be wisdom, was if we could deal with the fraud we might be able to balance the budget.

I disagree with everybody who says we can’t pay off the national debt.  It could be done rapidly if we would stop wasting money and cut out the graft.  The benefits to the average working person would be mind-boggling.  The pain to the average congressman would be even more mind-boggling.

Go JD. Sic ‘em.
