Supporters of Elon Musk’s chain saw approach to slashing the federal government speak as if no one has ever uncovered wasteful spending as his underlings are haphazardly doing.
“No one has brought that before in the past. This is truly groundbreaking,” Rep. Andy Harris (R-Maryland) proclaimed to reporters Thursday.
Sen. John Hoeven seemed to be equally fascinated by Musk’s bid to enhance productivity. “Wow, what’s not to like about that,” the North Dakota Republican said.
And Rep. Randy Weber (R-Texas) divulged that he had read aloud a poem to the world’s richest man that included this stanza:
“He’s figured out what’s crazy wrong. We should have known it, all along.”
Weber and other supporters of Musk should not be surprised to learn what Musk’s team has found.
And in 2000, Taxpayers for Common Sense picked up the “Golden Fleece” award from the mantle of former senator William Proxmire (D-Wisconsin), the godfather of the movement to expose government waste who created the fleecing award in 1975.
