Are Democrats upset at Government audits?

It seems like the Government loves to audit private citizens and private business, but when
THEY get audited by the people, they act like the world is ending.

What would the IRS think if I screamed bloody murder, when they did an audit on my business?

I sat with my accountant and smiled, while providing everything they needed. Everything was
in order, easy peezy.

Democrats need to sit down and STFU. If everything is in order, it will be easy peezy.

I get they feeling that lefties are worried that their elected officials are in danger, why is that?

From what I gather, most Conservatives are for the Audits, and Dems are against.

The Dems that are not totally against, would like to see elected officials audit their
own programs, is that about right?

I remember when Barney Frank was allowed to investigate himself and his
department. He found everything was good to go.

@DogMan Definitely not against audits. I would favor a non-partisan commission to handle them with members of said commission going through proper security clearance.

Imagine if Biden had just let Soros do an audit without following any process. I don't think conservatives would be against AN audit, but they would be right to question who is doing the audit and the motives and biases of the team assembled to report results.

I'm more anti-republican than I am pro-democrat, but my general concern over doge audits is definitely who is doing them and why they are doing them and what they would consider waste and what they might choose to not report.

Both parties are corrupt as hell. It's easy to build a narrative against one or the other through selective reporting. But in addition to that concern, I have watched Republicans claim government does not work over many decades and then seeking power specifically to sabotage it and make sure it doesn't work. So I'm extra suspicious of them.

I would rather there be a leech on a system that otherwise works than to destroy the system to spite the leeches.

@ViciDraco Spending $47,000 for a “transgender opera” in Colombia surely proves that the system is working, right?
