Zeldin is trying to be cute by equating the Biden Administration with the Titanic and wasted money as Gold Bars. Many people, including my 83 year old brother, are taking this literally. It took a half hour to convince him that a ship crew didn’t actually throw gold bars overboard. He finally understood that this was an improper electronic transfer of 20 billion dollars by Biden officials in the final days before Trump took office. As he left, I heard him muttering “why the hell don’t people just say what they mean”. I have to agree with him. In a perverse way, the use of hyperbole softens the impact of the story.
