More than 248 years ago, our Founding Fathers established our nation on the principle that government should be accountable to We the People.
Under the Biden-Harris administration, though, we have seen that principle erode as the government becomes increasingly unaccountable with wasteful spending and a growing bureaucracy.
Republicans: "Can you believe those democrats want to increase the budget to $15 trillion??? This is preposterous and evil! Under our conservative republican plan, we'll limit spending to only $14.99 trillion!"
ReplyDeleteThe deepstate bureaucrats are well dug in and have been since before 1963 (when Kennedy was replaced by a businessman who knew how things worked). The cabal currently running things likes it the way it is.
ReplyDeleteI think it can be done (or at least started!) but it's not going to be easy..
JFK would not even be allowed in the modern Democrat party today. He would be considered too conservative.
DeleteI look at the presidents of the past, and it seems that the most effective have been either businessmen or former military officers, who had experience in war and didn't want to keep us involved in any war we were not directly involved in. The major exceptions were Ike and JFK who both got us into "limited military conflicts". Two of the more wrong headed, imperialistic actions taken by former military presidents in our history.
All we need to do for our economy is to look at the budget and the huge amount that is taken up by our military spending, as it compares to the actual running of our country. Between the "peacetime" military that we have and the dug in bureaucrats we are behind the 8-ball before we even get started.
DOGE is a great idea, but as usual the neurotic Democrats will employ their usual sue, sue, sue tactics. The liberal judges will rubber stamp their suits and the Republicans will look like the same goofy gormless idiots they always have been.
ReplyDeleteAnd we all know this and they keep getting elected over and over again.
DeleteHistory shows that the problem has been around for a very long time. We all have heard the stories about how relatives of highly placed officials either get plumb positions or even have positions made for them to be on the government payroll. I read recently that when Elon took over twitter he put in a 16 hour day during which he gave a lot of the employees 5 minutes each to tell him what they did for the company. Think that same tactic would do well here.
ReplyDeleteYep, Mich McConnell and the rest of the Republicans are totally going to cut spending. Pull the other one, it has bells on it.
ReplyDeleteAll that's really needed is a balanced budget amendment to the constitution. Pity it has no chance.
ReplyDeleteI feel like the current culture of gigantic deficits can be traced back to the Reagan administration, and every president since contributed to it, including Trump.
