Elon Asked What Govt Workers Did... NSA Overshared
2025-03-02
[ZeroHedge] Again, it’s great to see the people responsible for some of the worst violations of public trust in America being fired.

But it also just shows how deep the rot goes.

The SEC, FDIC, and NSA have each had their own sex scandals revealed, while failing at their critical missions.

It’s been about one month that DOGE has been rough-auditing some agencies of the US government, which has already revealed absurd fraud and waste at agencies such as USAID and the Department of Education.

But is anyone seriously naive enough to believe it stops there?

This problem is pervasive, and needs to be rooted out if America has any chance of ushering in a New Golden Age.

#2  But audits and firings have to be done broadly to gain control of the bureaucracy. See AG Bondi’s release of the Epstein Files for what happens when control is not gained.

SWAT raids and perp walks are the next step, once there is room to operate. Not to mention that DOGE only has 18-24 months to get audits done, while the Trump hires will continue the work beyond that.

#1  Audits and firings are a good step, but this bullshit doesn't end without 3:00 AM Swat raids and lots of perp walks. If you want to deter conduct like this you have to increase the risk.
