[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Democrats should not lift a finger to help In Johnson.  We can only hope the Freedom Caucus will be their obstreperous selves.[/quote]

Depends on how many are in the Freedom Caucus. [b]There are Democrats on the DOGE caucus who agree with what they are doing with the budget[/b] so there are at least a handful of Democrats who will vote for anything that avoids even a slight shutdown. Republicans are in a good position to just waltz in and pass whatever they want.[/quote]

This is incorrect.[/quote]

[quote]Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz joined a Republican-led congressional caucus supporting President-elect Donald Trump’s newly formed Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, co-led by Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna has said he will work with Musk on certain issues, and Vermont independent Sen. Bernie Sanders recently posted on X that “Elon Musk is right.”[/quote][/quote]

This was before Trump took office and there was a talk of an audit, which is not happening. There is no audit, just massive dismantling. AND there was more the Bernie's quote, his full quote is:

Elon Musk is right.

The Pentagon, with a budget of $886 billion, just failed its 7th audit in a row. It’s lost track of billions.

Last year, only 13 senators voted against the Military Industrial Complex and a defense budget full of waste and fraud.

That must change.[/quote]
