Letter to the editor: Why are we letting the fox guard the henhouse?

Think about the fable of the fox guarding the henhouse.

Now think about the guy who took billions of dollars in U.S. taxpayers’ money to design and build electric cars with batteries that go boom.

Now think about giving him a government agency, the Department of Government Efficiency, that has access to the U.S. Treasury through cuts to government agencies that serve U.S. citizens.

Now think about the acronym for that agency — DOGE.

DOGE is the currency sign for Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency.

Coincidence? Or a billionaire joke on the American people?
