I'm not American, but I do enjoy the sitcom American Politics.

I've regularly watched congressional hearings over many years and the thing that is obvious is that no matter who occupies the white house, the departments have no interest in working with the senate on any hearing request at all. Stone walling I suppose the term is. That and obviously the Senators and House members are more interested in giving some monologue than to get to the bottom of things.

So now you got a President that hired some youngsters to go check the departments out to see what is actually happening with American tax money and everyone is getting their undies in a twist. More outrage about some social media post of these youngsters than what they actually found. I thought Americans would be happy that some transparency is brought to these bloated Government institutions.

The United States remains to be weird, what makes it funny.

They're not adding transparency to our Government. You can find out how the government is spending money already. There are tons of break downs, and you can get into plenty of detail. We just had a discussion about how the CDC spent so much money on solar powered tables. 

If anything, they're making transparency worse, because we have no idea what they have access to or what they're doing. 

People are getting their undies in a twist, because these youngsters are inexperienced people accessing things that they probably shouldn't; not to mention that they're supporting illegal actions. The president doesn't have the oversight to just shut down agencies he doesn't like.
