Congress, Senate, Democrats and Republicans: I’m a proud citizen and taxpayer of these United States. I accuse you of fraud, waste and abuse of my tax dollars. It’s your job to spend it responsibly. But lately it seems you’re not doing your job.

I hear a lot of crying about Elon Musk and DOGE, which is trying to stop this wasteful spending. But you bureaucrats, for decades, refused to do your job. So we get Musk/DOGE, which I’m grateful for.

You just want to play politics, an “us against them” mentality. Stop it. Lately it seems that it’s us citizens against you bureaucrats. You need to work together on the waste. If not, you’ll soon be getting an email from “we citizens” asking for five bullet points of what you did at your job in the past week. If no response, you will be terminated. You’ll get 15 minutes to retrieve your personal items from your office.
