Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was seemingly on the verge of tears over the latest budget cuts by DOGE—the Dept. of Government Efficiency led by Elon Musk.
Instead of Schumer applauding DOGE for saving billions of dollars of your hard earned tax money, Chuck took to X and lashed out.
“An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government. DOGE is not a real government agency. DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions. DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law. DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand. Congress must take action to restore the rule of law.”
Musk responded to his post with the following:
“Hysterical reactions like this is how you know that @DOGE is doing work that really matters. This is the one shot the American people have to defeat BUREAUcracy, rule of the bureaucrats, and restore DEMOcracy, rule of the people. We’re never going to get another chance like this. It’s now or never. Your support is crucial to the success of the revolution of the people.”
Here are some of examples of government expenditures that have been highlighted by DOGE:
- Approximately $100,000 was spent to study whether tequila or gin makes sunfish more aggressive.
- Nearly $1 million was used to investigate if cocaine makes Japanese quail more promiscuous.
- $419,470 was allocated to determine if lonely rats sought cocaine at a greater frequency than happy rats.
- $2.3 million was used by the NIH to inject dogs with cocaine for research purposes.
- Unusual Projects:
- $6.9 million for studying ‘smart toilets‘
- $1,513,299 to use kittens in a study analyzing motion sickness.
- $28 million on licensing fees for a green “camouflage” pattern on Afghan National Army uniforms.
- $2.5 million on a Super Bowl Ad for the Census.
- $1.7 million for holograms of dead comedians.
- $500,000 to build an IHOP in Washington, D.C.
- Funds for studying if the moon landing line was “One small step for Man” or “One small step for a man.
Chuck Schumer has been in goverement for too long. If he can’t see what is wrong with the waste and fraud happening with our tax dollars, It’s time for his retirement.
