Letter to Editor: W-S Journal: Good Idea. Bad Approach
“As a centrist, I believe in 360-degree-views. Corruption isn't simply a one-party problem. To think so is believing jumping off a cliff cures 100% of your problems. In other words, it's ludicrous.”
I appreciate the efforts of DOGE to shrink government, reduce waste and corruption and increase productivity. However, I hope this is not a political exercise.
I hope this means we look at Elon Musk's own government contracts with SpaceX and NASA. Or those tax breaks for Tesla. Or any other arrangements that may be beneficial to him and detrimental to taxpayers.
As a centrist, I believe in 360-degree-views. Corruption isn't simply a one-party problem. To think so is believing jumping off a cliff cures 100% of your problems. In other words, it's ludicrous.
Furthermore, the moral cowardice displayed by JD Vance and the Trump administration by allowing that openly racist "kid" to remain on DOGE is deplorable.
He "just wants a eugenic immigration policy, is that too much to ask," and to "Repeal the Civil Rights Act." These are very revealing requests. Yet, no one sees a problem with that line of thinking? This doesn't quell the suspicion that Nazi sympathizers are oozing around our government.
The mission itself is not the problem. The approach is.
It has been tyrannical, organizationally ineffective and unendingly malicious. Government efficiency is not a witch hunt. It is an organizational restructuring, not a spoils system. Keep your eyes peeled.
