Is Rep Tim Burchett the first to speak out? Will others follow or will he silenced?

Sure. Another completely unfounded conspiracy theory. Just more b.s. random garbage claims from the wingers.

There is probably no corruption in dc.  I bet you’re right.

Now you beat down another strawman argument. Can't expect anything different from the wingers.

Why do wingers make conspiracy theory claims and then tell people to prove that they're not true?

You don’t know how to post facts or data.   Prove me wrong.

Given you don’t believe there is fraud in dc.   I think it’s possible you are more of a conspiracy theorist than the flat earth crowd.

Nice strawman. Never said it was absolutely zero. Just not nearly as significant as the wingers claims. So far, I'm right. Tons of bs claims by DOGE unfounded.

So you agree that doge should go after the corruption in dc.

IMO, the DOdGEy group should go after the crypto. Talk about a lack of "Efficiency."

The some 17 billion the federal government has acquired in bitcoin from bad guys should be sold to pay down the US deficit. (Which is 100% the point of the group, at least that's what we're being told.)

There is zero reason to hold ~$17 billion in volatile digital currency if we can put it to good use now.

Imagine how many federal employees that would need to be fired to make that much of a dent in the deficit!

This isn't political point as much as it is a simple financial one.

Holding ~$17 billion in volatile funds while making giant payments on trillions of debt with interest makes no fiscal sense.

Unless, of course, the idea is to hold the bitcoin and from time to time make moves purposely to drive the bitcoin value up (which Musk has done before, and Trump just did recently) thereby using the bitcoin as an investment instrument to grow it to pay off even more of the debt at some future date.

That does sound like a Musk strategy...

I am in disbelief that people still invest so heavily in crypto. There are still NFL players that get paid in all bitcoin. WHY? If someone can explain it I will shut up.

You mean besides filling the executive with D listers and the whole being beholden to russia thing?
