The funny thing is that I still don't think he understood

"You acknowledge that Doge's mission was a complete and total failure, and given free reign of the government, you guys weren't able to find waste, fraud, and abuse, right? I just listed you, so transgender comic books aren't wasteful? What's the difference between wasteful spending and spending on things that you personally don't like? I guess whatever political party is in power. Okay, so is that a real definition then of waste, or is that just like a perspective politically? Do you really think there's not a definition of wasteful spending? Do you not know what that means? It's going to vary depending on political- No, no, no. Clearly she doesn't think it's wasteful. Clearly she thinks that it's important. Waste is going to be like, let's say that we need a subscription for some fucking Microsoft program for the floor, and we find out that every single employee has like seven different subscriptions, even though they use the same computer, right? Oh, this is waste. This is wasteful spending. We're duplicate spending in places. Let's say that we are providing food budgets for people that are so high that they don't need them, but then at the end of the year, for some reason, the food budget literally gets wasted because they're going out to Visa cards that are on the track. This is like waste, right? Fraud is like people are actually defrauding people. They're relying on forums about stealing money or whatever else. And then abuse would be similar to fraud. Maybe they're giving preferential contracts to friends that they shouldn't be and it's costing more money than it should. This is like waste, fraud, and abuse. That should be an apolitical bipartisan. Every single person should be able to look at a thing and go like, oh yeah, that's wasteful, fraudulent, or abusive. That's what I'm trying to show you. No, you're not. You're saying waste to you is things that you don't like."
