You can tell a lot about where people get their “NEWS,” by the narratives people regurgitate. Phil Scott, the ‘Republican’ Governor of Vermont, was asked if he’d consider a DOGE-like forensic inspection of Vermont.
Scott doesn’t think giving anyone “unfettered access” to state data is a good idea. And, it’s not on the front burner with education and public safety and affordability taxation.
No one in DOGE has unfettered access; that’s a wingnut-troglodyte media industrial complex lie. Access is regulated, controlled, and even restricted. Personal information is not being mined. When payment systems are mapped, the goal is to match spending with receipts and, where appropriate, identify the organizations receiving payments and what those are for.
To date, nationally, trillions have been identified as untraceable (not at all suspicious), while hundreds of billions have been directed to partisan pet projects here and abroad or laundered through NGOs for no general benefit to the American Taxpayer or even national interest.
Vermont, having embraced the California model of inanity and fiscal inefficiency, regardless of how nice a guy Phil Scott may be or how good his intentions, is on a state-killing meteoric impact with reality. Failing schools with irresponsible budgets, rising taxes, housing, crime, illegals, sex, and drug trafficking, did I mention crime?
A little DOGE action could go a long way to understanding what happens to all the Federal money that lands in the Green Mountain State. You can’t argue that it has been spent wisely or done much good. If it had, you’d be in better shape and you’re not.
