Marjorie Taylor Greene Tackles Wasteful Government Spending - Slashes Pete Buttigieg's Salary to $1

Nice though but ain't gonna happen.

Obviously, a Democrat who took this photo

One of the things that American taxpayers expect from Republican lawmakers is to save them a bit of money. Slashing all of the pork Democrats are so fond of and eliminating things like studies of the sex lives of fruit flies are to be applauded. On Tuesday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced yet another way the American taxpayer can save a buck. Greene introduced a bill that would slash the salary of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to just $1, and late on Tuesday, the House approved the measure." . . .

"I’m proud to announce my amendment to FIRE Pete Buttigieg just PASSED the House. Pothole Pete staged fake bike rides to the White House and used private planes funded by taxpayers to receive awards for the way certain people have sex. American taxpayers should not be on the hook for paying for his lavish trips or his salary. Pete Buttigieg doesn’t do his job. It’s all about fake photo ops and taxpayer-funded private jet trip to accept LGBTQ awards for him. I’m happy my amendment passed, but he doesn’t deserve a single penny."

. . ."Among Buttigieg's other glaring no-shows, during a serious supply chain crisis in 2021, he took a three-month paternity leave. And in December of 2022, as the Biden administration was embroiled in negotiations to head off a strike by the nation's rail workers that would have had a crippling effect on the economy, Buttigieg was in Europe on vacation. A Transportation Department spokesman stated that Buttigieg was dialed into "multiple calls with staff and stakeholders to work on the topic of rail labor negotiations."

Note to Rep. Greene: This is a good start. Surely, there are some other departments where we can save Americans even more tax dollars.
