Elon Musk’s revelations of the extraordinary corruption in federal departments have made it clear for me why so many Democrat Representatives and Senators without business backgrounds became multi-millionaires and how the presstitute media abandoned by the public remains on its feet.  Their source of wealth and funding is the US budget, which also explains why the budget is so totally out of control.  The political establishment and the media are living on the federal budget, while American taxpayers cannot make ends meet and are up to their eyeballs in debt.

The Federalist reports that just last week Washington Democrats held three press conferences denouncing the US Department of Government Efficiency’s revelations of massive theft and corrupt self-dealing as an invasion of their privacy. These same Democrats, little doubt well paid by the Chinese, never said one word about Chinese hackers breaching the US Treasury Department’s computer security system and stealing documents that the Treasury classified as “a major incident.”  Much less did the Democrats hold three press conferences about the Chinese hacking.
