Donald Trump’s confirmation that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will actually exist following his Election Day victory has taken Capitol Hill by storm, with conservative Republicans generally grumbling about the possibilities while Democrats have been plotting ways to make it happen ever since Undermined is currently a kind of advisory board and not an official government agency.
For example, there is talk of finally cutting public funding for NPR. Trump himself has said that co-chairs Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will work to “pave the way for my administration to cut government bureaucracy, dismantle excessive regulations, cut wasteful spending and restructure federal agencies.”

Of course, DOGE has caught the attention of Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), one of the few from both chambers who has remained steadfast in reducing the size and scope of government while ensuring that its many evil intentions are maintained Actors responsible and accountable.
Paul, who has done it before said “I’m all in and will do everything I can to make DOGE work,” appeared on Fox News Thursday, where he was shown a clip of “Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough complaining about that DOGE is supposedly a “scam”. and claimed that the only thing they could cut was Social Security and Medicare.
The senator’s response was priceless:
“Oh, poor Joe Scarborough. I remember when he was a conservative. You know, when he was a conservative Republican [Congressman] He actually voted against expanding Medicare into Medicare Part D, that extra part to expand Medicare, because he thought it could ruin the country.
So there was a time when he was actually a thoughtful person, but not anymore. Now there is a grain of truth in the sense that entitlements account for a large portion of spending. But saying, “Entitlements are a big part of spending, so we won’t address waste,” is the excuse we hear all the time.
Well, why don’t we start by getting rid of the three-quarters of a million dollars spent feeding Japanese quail cocaine to see if they were more sexually promiscuous when using cocaine? Maybe Joe would be okay with at least getting that and getting rid of that.”

Spot on, as always, and we should also remember that Scarborough once again described himself as a quixotic Beltway elitist when he expressed shock at the high cost of butter two days after the election.
“Butter is $7?” Scarborough asked at the time. “What, is it framed in gold?”

Scarborough relies on his co-host wife for updates on the rising prices of staple foods. Rand Paul, meanwhile, wants to make it easier to afford such things. I know whose side I’m on in this argument, and it’s not Morning Joe.
