WASHINGTON, D.C. — The tug-of-war taking over federal spending continued this week, as prominent Democrats pledged to waste more money than ever to fight DOGE.
Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency was locked in an ongoing conflict with politicians over its crusade to uncover and eliminate wasteful spending, leading Democrats to draw a line in the sand.
“We can’t let Elon get away with cutting waste,” Senator Chuck Schumer said this week at a protest outside on the steps of the U.S. Capitol. “We pledge to waste as much money as possible to fight this egregious overstep of government authority.”
Schumer then lit a $20 bill on fire while his colleagues cheered and eventually erupted in cheers.
Following a week of DOGE investigations and cuts, Democrats said they had no other options than to resist the evils of efficiency by burning through as many taxpayer dollars as possible — even more than they have done in the past.
“We have no choice but to burn through taxpayer money even faster and at a much larger rate than ever before,” Congressman Hakeem Jeffries said. “We will not rest until we stop Donald Trump’s unconstitutional and morally irresponsible crusade to make the federal government more efficient and fiscally responsible.”
At publishing time, as the first step in its war against DOGE, Democrats vowed to send a cargo plane full of money overseas to help fund Estonian transgender midget volleyball teams.
