Democrats forget that Americans want to cut government waste

In response to Rep. Maxine Waters, Sen. Elizabeth Warren and the flurry of Democratic lawmakers touting their efforts to “fight” the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and Elon Musk, I have advice: On the topic of fraud, waste and abuse with taxpayers’ monies, study your topic before you speak. 

Americans overwhelmingly support the scrutiny of government spending that DOGE makes its mission. According to the Feb. 24 Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll, “83% of voters favor reducing government expenditures over increasing taxes, and 77% say a full examination of all government expenditures is necessary.”

And the poll finds that “70% of voters,” including majorities of both parties, “say government expenditures are filled with waste, fraud and inefficiency … and 69% support the goal of cutting $1 trillion of government expenditures.” 

When was the last time a majority of Democrats, Republicans and independents have agreed on anything? In addition to preserving our nation’s financial integrity for generations to come, this consensus is an exciting moment for America in the 21st century. Complete Story at the Baltimore Sun
