The highest ranking Treasury official, David A Lebryk, is resigning rather than complying with a request by Elon Musk and the DOGE agency for access to audit where they’ve spent trillions of dollars a year. Why would career bureaucrats fear an audit by Trump’s team?
For one thing, he apparently is able to retire, because he is retiring. That's what I'd do in his situation. Not taking up for him, as I know nothing about him.
But I'll guess with the spector of this 'audit' looming, he is smart and lucky if he can take his retirement options and get the hell out.
Too bad, though, as based on what I read he has a number of years in the postion, would know the ins and outs of Treasury and government operations on the whole. Having to suffer the slings and arrows from Musk and Trump as they comb through the records looking for anything to crucifyt him about, from trivia to minor to major shortcomings. Musk and Trump know a lot about money, but do they know what it takes to administer this gigantac and critical agency?
I do hope they find the "waste, fraud, and abuse" of government resources that I used to have to attend a class about every couple of years during my tenure, and then do something about it. We hear of it, just never hear of anything done about it. Rant over. Thanks for reading.
