A federal judge’s decision to bar Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency from reviewing the Treasury Department’s payment system is most likely a temporary setback — but it illustrates the urgent need to secure a permanent win for transparency.
Progressives are panicking because their 100-year, largely successful assault on American constitutional government is in danger of being reversed.
Thanks to Musk’s wise plan to follow the money, he has a historic opportunity to mount a coup — not on behalf of himself or President Trump, but for We the People.
But to make the revolution stick, he’ll have to make transparency a permanent feature of our federal government.
He can do it with a simple tool allowing individual Americans to view the Treasury payment system in real time.
Call it “America’s Checkbook.”
Our nonprofit organization, Open the Books, is ready to help.
Our concept is based on a fundamental belief that the money the Treasury spends is the property of American taxpayers.
