The link "Override" captures the new energy and resources we have long been missing in our tax dollar funded government: show me the money and show me what it actually bought.
A major failing of "term limits" is the lack of accountability, when elected representatives by design have no institutional memory, wisdom or learned common sense during their now intentionally truncated terms.
Eg:. ..... It didn't happen on my term, so I don't know anything about this. I won't be accountable for my vote today, because I will be long gone by the time it goes into effect. My major concerns are only my own re-election. Someone else will need to figure out how to pay for this down the road. Not my road; not my term. ........... State Street Committee, anyone?
AI now tracking decision and funding accountability may well be a cure for the huge built-in term limits continuity and accountability failings. The good gets tossed out with the bad with arbitrary "term limits". It creates lazy and unaccountable voters too.
If even half of the listed wasted money was part of private enterprise business they would not even be able to open the doors let alone operate for one day.
Long over due efficiency and money trail examination.
Kudos to Trump for his bravado in dealing with the criminal organization, Hamas. Saturday at high noon, the time runs out…tick-tock! Just like the old, Gary Cooper western! If Hamas does not crawl out of their holes, and deliver our hostages, they will surely regret it. No doubt our Special Forces are already in position. But, could this be instead an opportunity to take out Iranian nuclear sites and leadership? Could very well be, talk about shock and awe. Take off the head of the Iranian snake once and for all. The interview with Trump and King Abdullah today was very interesting. Clearly, the Jordanians and Egyptians do not want 2 million Palestinian refugees…wonder why? If anyone can turn the disgusting trash heap of Gaza into a thriving oasis of condos, gambling, sun and fun, it’s Donald Trump. Much like Beirut was in the 50’s and 60’s until Hezbollah gangsters turned it into a murderous hell hole.
It’s at least 50-50 that Hamas will produce the hostages. Time will tell.
Mr. Eringer, I’ve often wondered why you use chorus lines in your artwork so much. I think I figured it out. I feel that was your deep desire as a young man was to be a chorus boy. As for AOC’s thoughts on musk, I feel the same, but my take is that he’s so smart he works things out in his head, but it just doesn’t translate to real life.
musk and his minions, are finding waste and eliminating agencies all over the place, so my questions are as follows. Where are the receipts? Where is the transparency? Where is the money trail? Who is in charge of this money? All we’re getting is lip service, lies, and exaggerations from this administration so far. how about some evidence? Which agencies how much waste and what are they doing to fix this? All the people that are being fired who is replacing them and how are the replacements being vetted?
The only entity responsible for trumps impeachment in 2019 was trump himself, for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
You mentioned musk and his minions will be doing away with the unnecessary and needless contracts. I am willing to bet that the several contracts musk has with the government will all be deemed necessary.
I would advise you fire your research assistant ChatGPT. Last time you made a list of the ways money was being wasted you included $50 million on condoms for Gaza. That was fake, it was only 8 million and that went to Africa to help in the prevention of AIDS. You’ve included it in your new list again.
You are not transparent in your findings. This is a direct quote from The Detroit News. It’s a newspaper article by Melissa Golden Associated Press, published on February 7, 2025. The headline reads ”Claims about USAID funding spreading online. Many are not based on facts”. The article continues as follows, “As the administration moves to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development, false and misleading information is being pushed on social media to support the change, Much of it spread by the administration and Elon Musk”.
“The posts raise questions about funding for certain projects and organization, often claiming without evidence that the money was used inappropriately”. Quote unquote.
“ White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said to reporters Tuesday that USAID had spent $1.5 million to advance DEI in Serbia’s workplaces; 70,000 for the production of a DEI musical in Ireland; 47,000 for a transgender opera in Columbia, 32,000 for a transgender comic book in Peru.” Quote unquote. Those claims were picked up and spread widely on social media throughout the week. You need to post the details.
You somehow ended your article with Putin and Prince Harry. With Putin, are you trying to make a point that people who speak up about him end up dead somehow, are you trying to warn us if people speak up against trump they could also meet with a tragic accident? What reason would trump have to deport Prince Harry? Jealousy maybe? People do like Harry more than trump. And, what was that comment about a terrible wife! he’s still in misogynist? Could it be he has a terrible wife?
WHAT IN THE ACTUAL HELL IS THIS ARTICLE 😭😫 Very serious questions - do you think this is journalism? Do you think all of the 'stats' you listed are accurate? Did this post follow one trail of thought? What is your main argument or thesis of this post?
S.2: Thanks for sharing how invested you are in continued waste fraud and abuse. Not our agenda, but glad to learn you only care if it can be shown to be partisan.
It is a relief to know GOP will get caught in its accountability web too. Keep your eye on the end goal. GOP also has a nasty record of taking itself down over waste, fraud and abuse too.
Celebrate we might finally have neutral means to account for Big Government, Big Taxes and Big Public Dept. What is not to like?
Just say no, S.2. Surely you cannot ignore what a populist roar can now do against the "machine". Might be a good time to take a deeper look at the core of your own karma.
I've believed the FAA should be managed under the National Transportation Safety Board because they understand the nitty-gritty things about aircrafts and investigate why they fall out of the sky. The FAA could learn more about aircraft with the NTSB nearby.

Always an interesting read.

Robert Eringer: thank you for a very good post.
The artwork is also appreciated. Nice!

Where do you get this nonsense about Musk? From Peggy Hall? Are you kidding? The queen of demented memes is your source?
I've believed the FAA should be managed under the National Transportation Safety Board because they understand the nitty-gritty things about aircrafts and investigate why they fall out of the sky. The FAA could learn more about aircraft with the NTSB nearby.
Perhaps instead of Musk "takes," perhaps reconsider Musk "earns" money from taxpayers ... there's a big difference. What's this payback crap?
