When the sun sets, the sea disappears, and the citizens begin yelling,” Hey, hey, in the night, it’s a raise to hit the remaining with good’ Mississippi Musk!” Okay, so it’s not as catchy as the actual song, but one thing is catching is the Trumpian effort to reduce government spending and make use of taxpayers ‘ money more effectively and saner. State auditor Shad White, also known as” Missississippi Musk,” has been working hard in Mississippi to combat state-level bloat, and what he has discovered is instructive.

Ol ‘ Shad would be the first to point out that it is extremely unlikely that Elvis ‘ home state is the only one who has wasted money, as I imagine the Clarkdale and Natchez residents call him. White is releasing” a compendium of reviews conducted by his workplace that totaled$ 400 million in spare over the course of his tenure,” according to Fox News on Monday.
At least among revolutionaries who are fed up of seeing the fruits of their labors sown among the corrupt, incompetent, and unworthy, that anthology is certain to be as popular as” Grief Hotel.” By the way, folks, that was an Oxford, Mississippi semicolon rather than just an Oxford punctuation there.
White remarked,” We’ve casually started calling ourselves MOGE, the Mississippi Office, of Government Performance, like Elon Musk’s DOGE, in the last few days.” We give each and every quarter of our work the same care, and I’m proud to be Mississippi’s Musk. In fact. Every position ought to have a DOGE and a Musk. Imagine what the California Office of Government Performance, or the New York Office of Government Performance, COGE, may discover.

After all, Mississippi is a small, underdeveloped state that hasn’t cast a Democratic ballot since it chose Jimmy Carter as president in 1976 ( clearly Mississippians learned that lesson ). It is doubtful that there will be a tremendously crooked state government created by electing socialists who believe they are entitled to as much money as they can get to DEI, Critical Race Theory, and transgender crazy. However, Mississippi Musk and his team discovered a lot of money that could have and ought to have been spent wisely.
White’s MOGE attempts didn’t even begin to imitate Elon Musk’s work in Washington because he is so anxious about state government waste. He continued,” We’ve been working on this project really for the past couple of years. And President Trump and Elon Musk’s current DOGE initiative has raised public awareness of the extent of state fraud, misuse, and abuse. So people are starting to examine what we’ve discovered more carefully. My team and I have discovered about$ 400 million worth of waste while we are working in the state auditor’s office.
He will go into more detail about all this waste in an 800-page statement that will, among other things, reveal that” Medicaid is a big issue, in that tens of millions of dollars in grants are going to income-ineligible Mississippians.” Even worse, “one state agency was spending nearly$ 6, 000 each on televisions, which the similarly bloated feds pay about$ 2, 000 for similar technology.” White said,” Your state institutions around the nation are probably even less effective if you think the federal government is inadequate, I promise you.”

White continued,” I don’t know why we need to do that, but Mississippi is not free from the public’s madness,” noting that” when you dig into what they’re doing with all of this staff day and all of these tools, they were doing things like holding microaggression coaching sessions for professionals. They were distributing provides for social justice yoga to children. Simply mad stuff. The communist forces of education have been effective, with”$ 11 million in tax funding has gone to Della at colleges only,” according to the report from Mississippi.

And while one in five Mississippians life below the poverty line, White claims that” we found money going to bad people going to pay for funding of beauty contests.” Actually, I believe the big picture is that this kind of misuse occurs at every level of government. And now that DOGE is leading and demonstrating to the nation how many fraud, spare, and abuse exists, it is really up to each state government to look inside their own homes and make sure that state government scams, waste, and misuse isn’t happening as well.”
” Lordy, how they play it!” Oh my god, how they affect it! Uncle Joe and Uncle Jim, how they “use strength and vim” to squander taxpayer money! No, that’s not how it works sometimes. However, that is how it should proceed.
