The office of Inspector General (IG) found at various government agencies is charged with keeping an independent eye on things. One of the critical things the IG keeps an eye on is how a particular agency spends its money. In case you didn't know, the only way the government can spend money is to first take it from you (called taxes). Having independent oversight on how our money gets spent is a good idea. The IG for the U.S. Dept. of Energy (DOE), Teri Donaldson, appeared before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee last Thursday. She delivered a big warning to the DOE and Senators: She is "gravely concerned" that a meaningful portion of the $400 billion the Bidenistas are trying to spend as quickly as they can on so-called green energy projects (allocated by the Inflation Reduction Act, thanks to Joe Manchin), is at risk of going to companies controlled by the Chinese and the Russians.
