DEEP STATE, YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE AUDIT

The Deep State
 

Elon Musk and DOGE are doing what amounts to a comprehensive audit of the federal government, and it is driving the Democrats nuts. 

This is, of course, because the federal budget is their piggy bank that funds both the leftists themselves and all their evil plans. 

But for many bureaucrats, the resistance to Musk's "intrusion" into what they consider their business has a simpler source: they just see themselves as doing their jobs, and in their view, nobody has a right to watch over them as they spend the taxpayers' money. The average bureaucrat cares less about what the money is spent on than that the managers above them don't bother them. 

It's not until you get to the top levels of the bureaucracy that you hit the Deep State and the political appointees. 

None of these people think you have a right to know how they spend the money and are genuinely angry when you ask. 

Elon Musk just posted a video from an interview that Kathleen Hicks, Deputy Secretary of Defense under Biden and long-standing Deep Stater participated in. Sitting down with John Stewart she had a wide-ranging discussion with Stewart and seemed genuinely baffled and offended that he questioned how the Pentagon spends its money. 

Sure, we can't account for where it goes, but that doesn't mean it didn't go to good things... And the deeper Stewart tried to probe--and he was clearly and rightly exasperated by the answers--the more bizarre her answers became. 
Stewart, who I often though not always disagree with, asked a perfectly legitimate question: if you can't pass an audit and don't know where hundreds of billions or trillions of dollars went how can you justify your budget?

GRTWT. 

AND THEN THERE'S THIS: 

THE WORLD WITHOUT USAID MONEY
