A short YouTube monologue (by Scott Empringham) that questions the apparent hypocrisy of some politicians who demand audits of private citizens and small businesses (mentioning “80,000 armed IRS agents”) while resisting transparency and audits of government spending and bureaucratic waste. The speaker asks why auditing government expenditures isn’t broadly supported and requests explanation for opposing such transparency.

Do you find it interesting that the same politicians that are screaming about doge auditing the waste in government spending are the same politicians that seem to be okay with 80,000 armed IRS agents auditing all of us Americans, particularly the small business owners? I don't get it. Wouldn't anyone and everyone wants the government to be audited and make sure all of our money is being spent on things that we want it to be spent on? Not even saying stop it. But wouldn't that be good to just find out what we're what we're spending it on? And isn't it interesting that transparency, something we all seem to want, is frowned upon when it comes to bureaucratic waste? I don't get that. Somebody helped me understand why this is a bad thing and how you could possibly be against that.
