One of my coworkers asked me if I would still have voted for President Trump if I had thought it could cost my job. My answer surprised her.
What a difference a few months make. This time last year, we were hurtling toward societal collapse. The government's growth rate and requisite spending had hit such obscene levels that the question of whether we, like Wile E. Coyote, had raced over the edge of a cliff was no longer theoretical.
Four years of Kamala Harris as president without an injection of some corrective mechanism first would have imploded America like the Death Star. Frankly, the path the Biden puppet masters put us on was so cataclysmically destructive that recovery is still no sure thing.
The math remains ugly. The key statistic is that around 40% of every tax dollar taken goes toward paying interest on the national debt. That number would have been mere child’s play to a Democrat administration. Forty percent? We can do better than that. Push the throttle to Ludicrous Speed. We’re going where nobody has gone before. Nothing short of 100 percent is acceptable.
It always comes down to the math, and math doesn’t lie. It’s brutally honest for anyone wise enough to pay attention.
This is the defining national security issue of our time. Building a strong military doesn’t matter when your biggest rival, China, will never have to face it. All the Chinese need to do is wait until we collapse from within. This is why the work of President Trump and DOGE is essential. This is our last chance. Elon Musk gets that. At President Trump’s first Cabinet meeting, he pointed out what should be painfully obvious to everyone: we cannot sustain $2-trillion deficits. That’s a mathematical certainty even a first-grader

It is going to take many years to recover from all the careless spending.
It wouldn’t have bothered me at all. I know five actual work meausres I have done this week.
not AS long with some serious clawback and a justice system with ALL BALLS, NO BLONDES. sorry. Florida native and resident but Bondi dropped the ball on Epstein...LONG, LONG ago. no CONfidence here.
If the far left turd rollers really wanted to win in 2024, they should have found some more qualified losers. Geez. Kowala Harris and Tiny Timmy Tampon were terrible. They thought they were a shoe in.
Yes, the spending got totally out of whack!
We cannot just tinker around the corners.
This country needs radical restructuring, if we do not want to end like Argentina!
BRW. Javier Milei seems to got handle of that country in a year. Radical restructuring!
Musk is trying to do the same here.
I hope, he succeeds.
I’ll stick with optimism for now, however cautionary.
In the beginning, Milei was highly criticized in Media and massive protests were common there.
It seems that now people of Argentina are enjoying it.
Imagine that in a personal context. Imagine 40% of your take-home pay goes just to pay the interest on all your debt. That's pretty close to being bankrupt.
Kamala was Biden’s revenge on the DNC. He knew she’d lose. He didn’t care.
Here’s a question that no one can answer: If the Federal Reserve just invented the money they loaned the federal government without selling treasury bonds, do we really owe the money?
The plan was to collapse the economy with a default on the massive debt. It was never to pay it down. And the Republicans were in on the scam.
