URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!
(DC Pundit) – You genuinely cannot make this stuff up. In what may be the most perfectly on-brand government story to ever come out of California, Governor Gavin Newsom has reportedly dropped upwards of $20 million on a consulting firm — hired specifically to identify ways to cut government waste. Let that sink in for a moment.
Twenty. Million. Dollars. To find waste.
Here’s the thing — Newsom could have simply walked through his own state’s budget, identified the bloated programs hemorrhaging taxpayer money, and made the tough calls himself. California certainly has no shortage of material to work with. The state has struggled for years with skyrocketing homelessness, a crumbling education system, rampant crime in its major cities, and a mass exodus of residents and businesses fleeing to more sensible states like Texas and Florida.
But making those decisions himself would mean owning them. And owning decisions means facing accountability — a concept that California Democrats have been allergically opposed to for quite some time. By outsourcing the entire exercise to a high-priced consulting firm, Newsom gets to keep his hands clean while the base stays happy and the blame lands somewhere else. Classic.
Spending 20 million to cut fraud sounds like fraud. https://t.co/nijg6T176T

Newsom has long positioned himself as a competent, forward-thinking alternative to conservative governance. And yet here we are, watching the man spend $20 million to locate waste in a state he’s been running for years.
Here’s a wild, cost-free suggestion, Governor: if you really want to cut wasteful spending, perhaps the first item on the chopping block should be the $20 million consulting contract.
