Democratic Representative Jared Moskowitz of Florida took some heat for being the first Democrat to sign on to a House DOGE Caucus. With the notorious and laborious Marjorie Taylor Greene of all people leading it. While he defended his reasons (and wanting to improve government efficiency isn’t in and of itself a bad thing) this wasn’t the place. Not that it mattered. In a recent interview with Wolf Blitzer on CNN’s Situation Room Moskowitz trashed the whole “effort.” It was an utter shuck and waste of time which we all knew it would be. Moskowitz should have known it too, but at least now he’s blasting it with both barrels!
In this short article by Raw Story Moskowitz makes his disdain for the whole thing quite clear. Blitzer noted Moskowitz having signed on, and of course asked him for what he thinks now. And wow did he cut loose:
No, Wolf,” Moskowitz said. “First of all, let’s just talk about the first 100 days. I mean, maybe the only president to have a worse 100 days was William Henry Harrison [who died of illness a month after his inauguration]. I mean, it’s just been absolutely disastrous. First of all, the DOGE caucus in congress is dead, it’s defunct – it met twice. I was there and never met again. They weren’t included in any conversation, so the DOGE caucus in Congress officially dead. DOGE of the executive branch, a complete failure. They have not met their goals by 85 percent and they didn’t do any efficiency. Nothing in government is more efficient. They just did ‘dog,’ they forgot the ‘E’ part, and so it’s been a complete and utter failure.”
When I read that the old sarcastic “Tell us how you REALLY feel” leapt to mind. I hope Moskowitz keeps this up. DOGE doesn’t just need to die, the whole thing needs to be run over by a steamroller, then fed into a shredder, the pieces incinerated and shot out into space and out of the solar system on some giant rocket. Oh, and the linked article also included some comments Moskowitz had about ole Elon himself.
“That’s why Elon’s had to run away back to his company,” Moskowitz added. “He’s ruined his name, he’s ruined his company, and he’s gone on to ruin the federal government, and so, look, consumer sentiment is down to the lowest level to 1990. GDP obviously is underwater, completely reversed. The tariffs are the biggest man-made economic disaster of the modern era.”
I tend to be pretty verbose but this is one of those things where I have nothing to add. Except this: As for MTG, I guess she can go back to trying to get her hands on Jewish space lasers or pursue some other idiotic thing that rattles around in the empty space in her head.
***Zoomers, we are always in need of donations. It’s been an especially rough month and my own health has not been great these past few weeks, which just adds to the frustration. Anything you can spare will be immensely appreciated. And thank you to all who have donated generously already. Ursula***
