the November election, many Demo- crats have toned down their hysteria over Donald Trump’s every move. But some have now turned their


anger into Musk Derangement Syn- drome, targeting the billionaire owner of Tesla and SpaceX for his temporary role in running Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, speak-

We’re Drowning in Debt


he Congressional Budget Ofice recently issued a report on


federal finances that noted: In 2029, debt will surpass its (post-


World War II) high in 1946 of 106% of gross domestic product. Social Security’s Old-Age and


Survivors Insurance Trust Fund will be exhausted in 2033. The projected federal budget deficit


in 2025 is $1.9 trillion, and it grows to $2.7 trillion by 2035. Measured in relation to economic


output, the deficit over that period is about 50% larger than its historical average over the past 50 years.

The left makes him a villain for trying to ferret out $236 billion a year in fraudulent federal payments. BY JOHN FUND

Justice Democrats screamed that “Musk and his team of 19- to 24-year- old stooges are leading a corporate coup,” and Charles Pierce of Esquire magazine hyperventi- lated:


“Arrest him and deport


him or, at the very least, tax him until his eyeballs bleed.” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,


the most prominent socialist among House Democrats, launched her fiery anti-Musk screed in a word salad rant on Instagram: “This dude is probably one of the most unintelligent billion- aires I have ever met or seen or wit- nessed,” she said before calling him “morally vacant.” Moving beyond her schoolyard


taunts, government unions have filed four lawsuits against DOGE. The American Federation of Gov-


ernment Employees (AFGE) joined with two left-wing nonprofits to sue Trump to demand that a representa- tive of the federal employees union be appointed to the cost-cutting panel because AFGE “has a deep knowledge of the federal government.” Yes, enough to create the mess


we’re in. The leftist American Federation


of Teachers has also filed a similar lawsuit, even though teachers are employed by local government, not the federal government. “DOGE does not currently have an individual who will speak on behalf of government workers and their inter- ests,” the suit said. Of course, the whole point of DOGE


is to have an entity that represents the taxpayers and stands up to the govern- ment worker interest groups who have contributed to out-of-control federal spending. Faced with a federal debt and


spending tsunami, the delusional response of the legacy media in report- ing on Musk’s DOGE effort is truly shocking. Every aspiring college cub reporter


learns that you never bury the lead on a story. But the six New York Times
