Hahaha.... You ask a Yes/No question, then have 2 questions.
Is it legal to audit government expenditures? -- Yes
Is there fraud/waste in gov't spending - Yes
Is going in with a sledge hammer like the proverbial bull in a china shop the best way to approach it -- No.
Arbitrarily demanding people be fired without checking what the do first what they're doing - Yes (DOE nuclear weapons personnel and others come to mind...)
Is dismissing Generals, IGs, and top lawyers the right thing to do - only if you want to replace with people who've drunk the maga kool-aid.
*** PLEASE NOTE - there is no hate/shade thrown around in this post. Let's please try to be civil in our responses.

I would not nominate you as civil, anyway. Having been a victim of being cancelled twice, I really don’t have a lot of sympathy. Massive inefficiency, massive theft, and massive uncaring about the people who are doing without because of them don’t inspire me very much. It just seems like more one way “please treat me better than I treat you” attitude.
All of these people who hate the country and all of us Walmart folks, as they say, may benefit from a less exalted opinion of themselves..

@VeronicaJane You're wasting your civility on @MarthannBann888. She's convinced that everyone who doesn't support Trump and Elon's dismantling of the country is evil and "dirt road stuріԁ".

I would say the BEST question is:
Why are democrats supporting the cover up of mass theft by government agencies and ngo’s?

None of the people on DOGE's staff have any known auditing or accounting experience. They're just using AI to look for things that right-wing talking heads can claim a victory on, like slashing government spending on LGBT rights or diversity initiatives, which - as far as I've seen - only end up being tiny fractions of these agencies budgets

Tiny, one thing we agree about and that is the LGBT is small compared to other things, like SS graft.
I want you to think about this. If things get really bad LGBT people will suffer just like all of the, now hated because of your party, white people. You say you don’t believe in racism, but that is not true. I can tell you that it is truly unlikely you will ever meet someone whose ancestors owned slaves. The men in those families all fought in the civil war and almost all were killed. Your knowledge of what happened is really low.

You do realise that DOGE has "terminated" several inspectorates who were doing just that before Musk blundered in? 🤦♀
DOGE has offered no evidence of "mass theft".

@SunshineGirl
When your experts said Hunter Biden’s laptop was a fraud did you swear by that, too?
Your lying experts say there is no proof. But, there is proof. And, it has been published, but like other FACTS that you people don’t like, it is not published in the democratic affiliated media. You go after everything and say everything we say is a lie, when we prove we were truthful, you say NOTHING. You go to the next thing.
Harvard did a study, liberals NEVER look at anything but liberal affiliated media. Conservatives look at both. Sorry to say but you just don’t know.
BTW, why has the government been giving money to the woman torturing government of Afghanistan?
What do you actually care about?

@SunshineGirl LOL....everything is going to be that way now. It was in the process or was about to happen, before Trump. What about the previous 20 years?

Democrats don't generally support that, but the truth has ever been far from your knowledge.
MasterLee · 56-60, M
Absolutely essential. They are upset because it is a money laundering scheme for libs.
Subsumedpat · 36-40, M
I guess we will see how things go by the mid term elections, by then we can look at the budget outlay for this year and see how much they saved, I am betting in the end they won't have shit to show for this. Just a lot of headlines.

It needs to all be audited as they are embezzling like crazy mad
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
It's not an audit. If it was an audit, he would have hired accountants, not barely pubescent hackers.

DEmocrats support the coverup because those agencies are nothing more than slush funds for Democrat dark money.
Democrats should be arrested for fraud.

@Reason10
Reason 10, you are spot on! The democrats are howling about the audit after years of wild spending. It should be by this time that all democrats have mansions by the sea. it kills me that these people howl about being audited while at the same time there are no other people on the face of the earth that need auditing more.

And notice how they tear down the auditors, or who ever criticize anyone who protests their evil ways.
