Ben Ferguson: 我认为每周都应该向政府员工发送一封询问他们上周工作成果的邮件。这封邮件引发了民主党和媒体的强烈反弹，他们认为这是不合理且充满压力的。 我认为这反映了当前政府中存在的问题，即缺乏问责制和对纳税人的尊重。许多政府员工的工作效率低下，甚至不去办公室工作，这与私营部门形成鲜明对比。 我们应该要求政府员工对他们的工作负责，并向纳税人解释他们的工作成果。这不仅是公平的，也是必要的。 Ted Cruz: Elon Musk 的邮件引发了民主党和媒体的强烈反弹，这反映了他们对政府问责制的不认同。他们认为要求政府员工汇报工作成果是不合理的，甚至是一种骚扰。 然而，我认为这是一个非常合理的要求。在私营部门，定期汇报工作成果是常见的做法，这有助于提高效率和问责制。 我回应了 Elon Musk 的邮件，列出了我上周的工作成果，包括立法成就和会议。我认为所有政府官员都应该这样做，向选民负责。这体现了对纳税人的尊重，也体现了对工作的认真态度。 民主党人对政府工作的态度反映了他们对纳税人的蔑视，他们认为自己有权获得联邦薪水，而无需为纳税人做任何积极的事情。
