His idea is to balance the books and that would put him close I think?
I think the American people will overwhelmingly support slashing the bureaucracy especially when all these egregious examples of corruption, fraud, waste, and abuse are uncovered. We all suspected it was this bad for a long time but the bureaucracy managed to hide it for a long time through abusing their powers. Now its being exposed for all to see and so much of it is simply indefensible.
Besides, pointing out how the DC Swamp has gotten rich at taxpayer expense...how 5 of the 7 richest counties in America are suburbs of the District of Corruption infuriates most people in this country.
Funny that they did not speak this way of Soros, IIRC.
Musk want’s to reshape the government?
they say that like it’s a bad thing.
I say “BRING IT ON!!!!!”
The government we have now is NOT what the Founding Fathers set up nor intended.
I believe the projected deficit will be 2 trillion, meaning it puts us half way if we can trim 2 trillion of it. We can likely do more than 1 trillion of cuts and any additional economic growth we can unleash will also reduce the remining trillion by adding to budget revenue. Also anything the Feds can sell that we are losing money on currently will help, like federal office buildings that are unused due to workers quitting rather than returning to in-person jobs or combining half empty spaces.
Touch entitlements!
Cut WELFARE!
SNAP, Section 8, Medicaid, 0bamaphone, free transportation, everything!
My saintly teacher wife plays Valet each morning to the stoned welfare queens driving Mercedes and Lexus who are so fat they can’t get out of their own pot skunky cars to help their chunk of lard offspring by different absent sperm donors get out of their federally required car seats!!!
BTTT
Agree that Musk is doing the country a great service. He is lifting up the rock and watching the cockroaches run for cover.
And, of course, the Lefties are screaming bloody murder. Likewise, the MSM is dutifully trying to create a wedge between Musk and Trump.
Remember, this article is from Politico (radical left).
Musk is the best man for this type of jobs. An Aspie can stay on their interest 24 hours/day and never tire.
I love the way they make it look like this is a renegade Musk. This was all Trump’s idea. Musk didn’t know the inner workings and pressure points, and weaknesses of the deep state. Trump’s been plotting this for years. Musk is just the right man, at the right time, in the right spot to execute Trump’s plan.
Very crafty and subtle effort in this article to try and sow the seeds of dissention between Trump and Musk. Do not let this happen. Trump is president. Musk is doing things almost no one else could do at this speed. It’s a blitzkrieg. This is exactly what we vote for.
What they call “remaking the federal government” is what we call “draining the swamp”. The swamp is what a lot of federal government is.
As we have discovered USAID is a fraudulent and out of control and insubordinate organization largely run by CIA. Given how Schumer is whining about this one gathers Schumer is run by CIA too.
I wonder how many Demoncrat and RINO politicians will become new members of the Black Eye Club when their criminal supporters find out the flow of funds has stopped?
Notuce the language. Elon Musk steamrolls, remakes Federal government.
Could they be trying to get Trump jealous????
USAID has been known for years as the most corrupt agency of a corrupt government. It was the seedbed of the war in Ukraine. It laundered hundreds of millions through left-leaning foundations and ngo’s. As much as it actually helped the people of the world, it misused far more in politically corrupt manipulations. Established by EO, it should be dissolved by EO and whatever legitimate functions it has can be reassigned to some office in the State Department..
What is best in life?
To watch your enemies crush themselves and hurl their own remains over the cliff in confusion and disarray.
The winning SHALL continue, and the stat sheets will be filled with Demoncrat Own Goals.
HIs takeover of Twitter was good training.
Trump has said repeatedly that everything Musk is doing has to be approved. So he’s not just running wild.
