The so-called DOGE brothers of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy appear to have scored the first victory in their war against wasteful government spending, and President-elect Donald Trump hasn\u2019t even taken office yet.<\/p>\n
Congressional leaders had struck<\/a> a \u201cbipartisan\u201d deal to fund the government until March 14 through what\u2019s called a continuing resolution, but quite a few add-ons were included, making what should only have been a few-page bill roughly 1,500 pages<\/a> long.<\/p>\n First, it\u2019s a good rule of thumb that when \u201cbipartisan\u201d is used to describe a piece of legislation, that means Republicans have rolled over and Democrats are getting most, if not all, of what they want.<\/p>\n A true Republican lawmaker \u2014 not one in name only \u2014 is always looking for ways to cut spending and decrease the size and power of the federal government.<\/p>\n This CR did the opposite.<\/p>\n Ramaswamy, who will co-chair Trump\u2019s Department of Government Efficiency<\/a>, listed four of the most idiotic things tacked on to a bill that was supposed to simply keep the current spending levels in place until the new GOP Congress takes over next month and gets to work.<\/p>\n The CR included a hefty pay raise for members of Congress, up from the current $174,000-per-year salary.<\/p>\n It expanded federal health care benefits. Further, it called for opening a new NFL stadium in Washington, D.C. and renewed the Global Engagement Center established during the final year of President Barack Obama\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n The center, which is part of the State Department, \u201cis tasked with countering foreign state and non-state propaganda and disinformation targeting the United States and U.S. interests,\u201d according to the Congressional Research Service<\/a>.<\/p>\n Ramaswamy called the center a \u201ckey node of the censorship industrial complex.\u201d<\/p>\n Real-time advice to Congress: go back to the drawing board, start with a blank slate & do this the right way. There\u2019s still time for forgiveness. https:\/\/t.co\/O9P9wWXZ5E<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Vivek Ramaswamy (@VivekGRamaswamy) December 18, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n So that\u2019s four ridiculous things.<\/p>\n There were also some \u201cwoke\u201d provisions in the CR<\/a> to satisfy Democrats.
