DOGE Is in the Constitution
By Ted Noel
On January 30, Pocahontas shouted into a microphone that “There is nothing in the Constitution that says ordinary citizens have a right to see what we spend our tax dollars on.” Aside from the frightening implications of such a statement, Senator Warren is so far off base that she’s not even on the field. As an attorney, she should know better.
Article I, § 9, Clause 7 of the Constitution says:
No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.
Questioning Grok AI yields an answer that the highest broad brush level of disclosure, limited to gross receipts and Department level funding, satisfies this provision. This may have been adequate at the Founding, but with the proliferation of departments, bureaus, and agencies, it is no longer a “Statement [of]… Expenditures of all public Money.” A proper description of the present state of affairs is, frankly, NSFW.
Enter DOGE.
Using computerized tools that operate many multiples of the speed of any human, DOGE has been able to create forensic maps of where all the money has gone. In short, it’s an automated method of observing Sutton’s Law: Follow the Money.
Like most working stiffs, I thought USAID was a way that “aid” money got to foreign governments and organizations. Boy was I wrong! Yes, the “AID” part was “Agency for International Development,” but that didn’t seem to make much difference. Big Balls Coristine and his band of merry men let the cat out of the bag. Large chunks of that money were being laundered into the pockets of Democrat organizations and operatives.
