Imagine a world where the IRS—the very agency that scrutinizes every dollar the average person earns—is now being audited by a meme. That’s right, Doge, the ever-smug Shiba Inu that launched a thousand cryptocurrency fortunes, has turned its wide-eyed gaze on America’s most feared tax collector. The irony is so thick you could cut it with a government-issued bureaucracy handbook.
But let’s talk about why this is even necessary. According to Elon Musk, the U.S. government is so financially incompetent that it’s paying billions of dollars in Social Security benefits to dead people. If that doesn’t make you question how this country is run, I don’t know what will. It’s as if the government has gone full autopilot, mailing out checks to the deceased while the living are drowning in paperwork to prove they exist.
This isn’t just about Social Security payments going to ghosts; it’s about a broader pattern of dysfunction. The government racks up trillions in debt, over-taxes its citizens, misallocates funds, and still somehow struggles to provide basic services. The oversight is so abysmal that if an actual dog were put in charge of auditing the IRS, it would probably do a better job. At least a dog would sniff out the nonsense instead of rubber-stamping failure year after year.
Overstanding—that is, the government’s complete inability to grasp the concept of financial responsibility—is reaching absurd levels. Agencies throw billions into programs with no accountability while everyday Americans get harassed over minor tax discrepancies. The system is a mess, and Doge’s satirical audit is just a reflection of the absurdity we’re all living in.
So what’s the solution? Maybe it’s time for the government to get a reality check—preferably not one addressed to someone who’s been dead since the Reagan administration. Until then, we can only sit back and enjoy the comedy of errors that is the U.S. financial system. Much audit. Very oversight. Wow.
