From experience, I was always amazed at just how little was "controllable" and how much was "committed" when the original budget proposal was presented to elected officials. That said, "rocking the boat" seems to be a foreign concept.
Legislators are there to represent the people. Term limits, accountability metrics, and hard conversations should be commonplace.
What do we taxpayers receive for the money we spent?
Joni Ernst along with the majority from both parties should be held accountable.
Speaking of defense, Ed, do you think Sen. Ernst is waiting in the wings for the defense secretary job if Mr. Hegseth falls by the wayside? Whatever one may think of the senator, you know she's going to make sure women in our armed forces are treated with respect. That may be a "look" our once and future president's administration may want to think about. For some, it might be a welcome contrast to some of the picks we've seen so far. Not to mention she actually may know something about the defense budget since she sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Hegseth's Wikipedia bio says he fathered a child with his third wife....while still married to his second wife. That kind of thing sunk John Edwards' political career on the other side years ago. But I suppose some waiting to take power may think that's a plus because it shows Mr. Hegseth's an irresistible stud. Including the incoming commander in chief.
A Newsweek article reports that Ernst's name is being floated as a possible replacement appointment and quotes U.S. Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D. as saying on CNN that Ernst would be "easy to confirm."
ED, Happy Holidays to you and your family. Keep up the undercover reporting that no longer appears in Newspapers. However, you may want to keep a very low-profile. Mr. Trump and Kash Patel are coming after Journalists we disagree with their policies. Happy Holidays.

Thanks for the article Ed!

I saw the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump had talked to Ron DeSantis about the job. That was very interesting.
