If the Left were reasonable (and let's face it, they're not), they'd pause for a moment and re-think their strategy concerning DOGE and the work it's doing to root out fraud and wasteful spending.
It would be a huge political win for them and show they're serious about controlling our debt.
They can't do that, however, because it would legitimize Donald Trump and give him a win.
Instead, they've resorted to wailing like wounded cats. Don't misunderstand: this writer is perfectly fine with the Left continuing down the path of insanity. It will only help us in the future. But the Democrats want to, you know, win future elections, correct? So you'd think they'd come up with a new plan.
There was, however, a time Democrats did ask hard questions about spending.
Watch Jon Stewart grill the Deputy Secretary of Defense over the Pentagon's (repeated) failed audits:

Where’s that energy now? This was from only two years ago.

Stewart is correct.
She reminds me of Hilary Clinton the way she laughs off the question.

The uncomfortable laughter just shows the guilt IMO.
"I'm pretty sure I didn't cause it, hehe" 🤔🤔

The laugh is galling.
She’s laughing because she’s uncomfortable that Stewart asked legitimate questions—to which she had no answer for. Not what you want to see from a major government official.

They're so used to media licking their boots that tough questions seem like an insult.
Great clip of Jon Stewart holding the Pentagon accountable for their financial recklessness

It's astonishing how some people only speak truth when it's convenient for them
We need more watchdogs like this, demanding transparency and accountability from our government agencies
Yes, we do. More of this and less of the endless vacuum of government spending.
Jon Stewart loved playing the tough guy when it was just theater.

Now that Musk and DOGE are actually digging into the fraud, he’s nowhere to be found
We suppose that's better than actively working against DOGE, but only marginally so.

Yes. What's changed?
It’s not wrong to ferret out corruption. https://t.co/9GrWiBirz9

No, it's not. And whoever gets exposed - Republican or Democrat - so be it.
@jonstewart I hope you still support the auditing of the government even when the guy you hate is asking for it. https://t.co/PMSVSgYypD

It would be the ideologically consistent thing to do.
It's funny to fail audits and lose a billion dollars. Just another day at the office for our Fed Agency employees. https://t.co/kioeUseXhe

They genuinely believed the gravy train would never end and they'd never be held accountable for their mismanagement.
Whoops.
