The latest target of leftist ire? DOGE, the proverbial watchdog of taxpayer dollars, keenly focused on rooting out wasteful federal spending. In a dazzling display of irony, those who typically throw shade at fiscal accountability are now trying to sink their teeth into a cryptocurrency that champions transparency and efficiency. It seems the left has found a new villain, one that won’t quietly disappear into the depths of obscurity like so many other government bloopers.
Readers of the NY Post, undeterred by the left’s latest theatrics, have taken up arms—or more accurately, keyboards—to voice their bemusement at the situation. The general sentiment? A pretty hearty chuckle. It’s amusing how progressives managed to morph into defenders of wasteful spending, as if they were suddenly crusaders for something other than bloated budgets and fiscal irresponsibility. The idea that an unconventional cryptocurrency could spark such a reaction is almost too rich. After all, what’s scarier to the left than someone daring to question how their precious tax dollars are sluiced away?

DOGE proponents steadfastly argue that a little representation from the crypto world could actually inject some common sense into the absurd spending practices that seem to be the hallmark of Washington. It’s about time someone stood up and said that throwing money at every social program under the sun isn’t a viable long-term strategy—surprising that it takes a meme-inspired currency to make that point stick. Perhaps this is the real reason the left has been so worked up; they realize they can’t control every narrative anymore, especially one that questions the status quo.
While the left attempts to spin their criticism, it’s worth noting that their arguments are more about preserving their hold on taxpayer money than actual concern over public funds. The defensiveness, after all, stems from a broader fear: If people start questioning how much waste is built into federal budgets, less of that hard-earned cash will find its way into their fast-expanding bureaucratic empire. They might even have to stop treating taxpayers like a piñata filled with cash to be broken open at every legislative opportunity.
In a landscape where common sense is often disregarded and fiscal accountability is laughed at, the emergence of DOGE as a voice against waste is nothing short of revolutionary. It’s a swift kick to the complacent gut of government waste enthusiasts who, for too long, played the fiscal equivalent of hide and seek. Whether or not the left chooses to listen, one thing is clear: DOGE isn’t going away, nor is the push for transparency. It seems a new chapter in the battle over fiscal responsibility has been written, and it might just take a cryptocurrency to ensure that it sticks.
