Government Corruption
Chuck Schumer Makes Quite the Admission About Wasteful Spending
2025-02-21
[Townhall] Democrats in Congress, led in large part by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), have been throwing all kinds of bizarre tantrums over President Donald Trump and Elon Musk looking to get to the bottom of government waste and fraud. It's no wonder that poll after poll, including today's latest Quinnipiac University poll, shows Democrats are facing record lows in their favorable/approval ratings. On Wednesday, Senate Democrats spoke to the press, where the minority leader was fittingly confronted about what Musk is finding, and what Democrats are crying about.

A reporter asked about "wasteful spending in the government that needs to be cut," specifically if senators "agree with DOGE in that sense," which resulted in quite the curious response from Schumer. "Of course there's some wasteful spending," Schumer promptly insisted, tellingly adding the word "some." As he continued, though, "but you don't use a meat axe and cut everything! We need to look at each program, and go through Congress and see what's wasteful, and move to eliminate it, and what's very not wasteful, but very much needed!"

Pardon us for not having much confidence in Schumer's assurances.

#3  Seems like Chuck has had a career’s worth of time to make cuts with his whittling knife. We are out of patience. Time for the meat axe and indictments.

#2  How many years has Schumer been in the Senate? And how many as majority leader? And all that time he could have used a scalpel but he didn't and now he's crying about the meat axe. Oh, boo hoo, Chuckie.
