The Issue: The left’s criticism of DOGE’s continued effort to expose and cut wasteful federal outlays.
The left is going crazy because of the work Elon Musk, the head of the Department of Government Efficiency, is doing (“Fraud alert,” Feb. 11).
They claim he wasn’t elected and shouldn’t have any power. Many positions in the federal government are appointed and don’t require being voted in. However, the position of president does require votes.
I ask, how many votes did former Vice President Kamala Harris receive in order to win the right to be the Democrats’ nominee? The answer is zero. The hypocritical left has reared its ugly head again.

The ones who are upset about DOGE are the corrupt unions. They are the ones with the most to lose.
With all of these worker buyouts, corrupt unions will lose millions of dollars and their power. How can anybody be against trimming waste?

For purely entertainment value, one can do no better than watch hearings on the creation of DOGE to find fraud, corruption or errors that allow for billions in taxpayer money to be pilfered. The Democrats did not offer one item that would help in this effort but instead were angry about Musk being an unelected billionaire.
The young bureaucrats as well as the former first lady, who made decisions for compromised then-President Joe Biden, were unelected. Former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who allowed the entry of many criminal illegals, was unelected but named by that (compromised) president.
The Constitution allows the president to choose someone that can solve fiscal problems. Could the outcry possibly be caused by the fact that many of the illegal disbursements benefited the Democrats?

All of the Democrats are up in arms that an unelected individual is revamping our federal government into a much more streamlined operation. But let’s face it: We endured four years of unelected bureaucrats running our country into the ground. Where were all these Democrats when that was occurring?
As far as I’m concerned, if Democrats are against anything Trump’s administration does, then I’m all for it, because they will all be exposed for their exhaustive corruption.

The Issue: RFK Jr. becomes secretary of Health and Human Services after a 52-48 Senate vote.
Lives will be lost after the confirmation of a totally unqualified disrupter to head the Department of Health and Human Services (“Vax’s all folks! RFK swears in,” Feb. 14).
Polio survivor Mitch McConnell used common sense to vote against the Robert F. Kennedy Jr. confirmation.
How many of the 52 senators who voted yes have witnessed a family member or friend endure the debilitating effects of polio or another preventable disease?
They chose to bow to political expediency and survival instead of proven science. Shame on them.

While there are a few notable exceptions, the voting to confirm incompetents as members of President Trump’s Cabinet proves that the Senate now has exactly two independent members with any integrity: Mitch McConnell and John Fetterman.

DOGE is hated because they are cutting out waste and corruption. Kennedy will now be hated because we will finally get healthy again.
