If you read anything today…. READ THIS!!!!!!! I have to say I am shocked at the level of resistance that DOGE is getting. But that nonsensical resistance comes from the very same group of individuals who seem to be on the wrong side of everything—people whom I would not consult for financial advice, moral guidance, medical advice, or scientific opinions. Frankly, they seem unhinged about too many things simultaneously. In their world, everything is an end-of-the-world scenario. When I listen to some of the nationally known opinion makers, I am shocked that I am shocked at everything they have to say. It seems like those individuals who resist DOGE resist everything that makes common sense.
So now it appears we will have a one-time DOGE dividend based on 20% of the savings, going out to Americans in a $5,000 check, which will clearly demonstrate that fraud, waste, and abuse were real. While the other 80% is used to reduce costs and pay down debt, those who tell you there is no fraud and urge you to look the other way will lose their argument quickly as those checks roll out. They will even complain about the checks going out as they set their own hair on fire.
I really want to think liberals know better and are simply resisting all things Trump because they have been taught to hate him by those who purposely take all things Trump out of context. They even boldly declare that they will not let Trump be normalized, meaning if he appears to do good, if he seems loving and kind, they cannot let people see that, so they demonize him to stop him, even if stopping him hurts the majority of Americans when he attempts to deliver on the promises that got him elected. I swear they would resist Trump if he cured cancer.
Millions have been taught to hate Trump so much that they just cannot reason beyond the headlines. Millions listen to opinion makers of hate who make millions in income simply to resist for the sake of resisting. I have become so used to people blinded by Trump Derangement Syndrome that I no longer take them seriously because they constantly reason without context and only within an echo chamber where there is no context other than "Trump bad," no matter what. Resistance for the sake of resistance, with no countering solutions.
The Biden administration has created so much damage with bad policies that fixing any of it has become all the more painful because of the size and scope of the problems. And because the political elite want to be liked and popular, they refuse to do anything that is painful, which has made everything worse. Everyone, and I mean everyone, knows the government has wasted trillions, but nobody wanted to do a thing about it. That was until Trump. Nobody had a plan to fix any of it until Trump, but everyone who has been taught to hate Trump finds fault by overstating small mistakes while ignoring the most abusive treatment the US government has ever inflicted on the American people. They have enslaved us all in their debt, and to get out of the spiral, much pain has to occur. And yes, it has to happen; otherwise, we lose a country, and the pain of doing nothing will be infinitely worse.
I will use big, rounded numbers to help you understand the math that is our collective doom unless we fix it now. We spend $6 trillion; we have income from taxation of $4 trillion. So, we increase our collective slavery of debt by $2 trillion a year. Out of the $4 trillion we collect in taxes, we pay $1 trillion in interest charges, meaning that only $3 trillion can be used to pay for defense and our human services safety net. With the new debt we create, we add $100 billion in additional interest charges. Even worse, we are paying interest on the interest. Frankly, it is criminal, and if any company did this, the entire management team would be in jail for life.
This is the world of political math, and political math is a never-ending shell game. Let me give you a perfect example of this. In the world of political math, they would say we will run out of funds in Social Security in ten years. They look at that one ledger and make it appear that it has money. If we are $36 trillion in debt in the real world of math, it means we have no money—zero—because other programs spent the Social Security funds decades ago. For me, it is like watching people living in the Matrix who question nothing except what the Matrix wants you to question. Of course, the Matrix of the government does not want us to know what they did, how they did it, and how they got away with it for so long.
So, the legacy media that gets most of its income and protection from the government protects their money supply, promoting political math as somehow being reasonable when clearly it is not. Instead of reporting on fraud, waste, and abuse, they bury it.
Now here is the truth: the government is the largest employer in the US, in fact, in the world. It is, at a minimum, overblown by 1.5 million workers. To fix that is painful; to let it be wipes out 350 million Americans. Just like open borders created ten million illegal aliens, of which one million are known criminals. Most live in the inner cities and are on welfare. The claim that they are picking our food, while true, represents only 1% of that entire group.
We are told in political math how much they contribute to the economy, but hidden is how much the cost of it all is, which is greater than the contribution, resulting in a net loss.
Common sense says if you want to work in another country, you knock at the front door and get a green card and permission based on the needs of that country. But the cartels funded and profited from the nonsense of policymakers who allowed our laws to be broken. We do not have a broken immigration system; we have a group of people who broke the system and then claimed it was always broken.
Then we have the money we spend or really laundering internationally. We cover the failure shortfall of socialist countries with our capitalist society while they condemn capitalism that keeps their corrupt governments afloat—money that we print and borrow from places like China. So, we borrow from China to give to, let us say, Egypt, the birthplace of the Muslim Brotherhood that created every terrorist organization in the Middle East. Now take that one country and multiply it by 160 countries, and you begin to see that while we do good, hidden within that good is a lot of really bad stuff, and DOGE is helping us to understand how much bad we are funding. And if we do good in their nations, do they use that savings of our good intentions to fund their own evil? We can’t seem to audit our own agencies; now think about how we can audit another nation. The answer is we do not, and we cannot. Ukraine is a perfect example of where we do not know where 50% of the money we gave them went. Proof is gone. It’s not the government's money that is gone; it’s your money that is not accounted for, but you must pay with your taxes.
To fix it all, pain will happen to save our country. The left thinks nothing of the pain of our failure; this is because the hard socialist left within the Democrat Party wants capitalism to fail, while moderate Democrats are blinded by their ideology to see the harm coming to us all.
And here is the magic of Trump: he knows the power of the word "no." No to waste, no to debt, no to unelected bureaucrats spending whatever they like on whatever they want. Good parents know how to say no, and so do strong leaders. Saying yes to everything politically is destructive to a nation and only good for those who derive power by giving everything away that is not theirs, namely the money of the taxpayer.
Let me remind you what happened in 2004 when a Democrat Congress created a bill that declared all had the right to own a home. While noble, it is not a right to own a home; it is a right to earn a home. To make it happen, they told the banks they had to change their lending rules, which increased the loan risks. The banks pushed back and said it would destroy the banking and lending systems. So, Congress said, "OK, we will do this; you give the loans, and the US government will insure them." Wall Street, seeing that, went to the banks and said, "We will buy up your bad loans since there is no risk based on the US government covering the loans." Of course, by 2008, the real estate market, the banking system, and Wall Street were now falling apart because of a horrible Democrat policy that Bush should have vetoed. While it sounded good, it changed the rules of banking that had existed for the previous four hundred years, generated by European banking norms. The result of that one policy was so bad that the Treasury went to Congress and said, "Look, we are $10 trillion in debt, and our entire financial system is about to collapse in days, and we need $1 trillion right now, or by next week we will fail," meaning the nation will fail. Congress pushed back and said, "We must have oversight," to which they were told, "We have 72 hours to save the nation, and we do not have time for your oversight; we only have time to act and fix what you broke. As the Treasury, we will pick who wins and who loses to save the nation." And so they did. Because Bush was president, he got blamed, but if you look at Congress, who created the mess, you have a good idea of all the players who nearly broke the nation.
Since that time, what did we learn? Well, nothing. We are now $36 trillion in debt, three and a half times more, waiting for the day when someone in Treasury says the whole system is about to collapse. We have no choice but to do a few simple things and do them quickly.
Cut costs to our tax income, meaning we do not spend more than we tax. So, we need to cut $2 trillion in expenses now. We either cut while we have a choice or cut when we have no choice, which will be ten times more painful. DOGE is dealing with managing the pain now rather than waiting for the pain to be totally unmanageable.
Increase our gross national productivity by being more competitive globally, seeking other countries to invest trillions into the US, using reciprocating tariffs to place them in a position to build factories in the US for high-paying US jobs. So far, in less than a month, Trump has gotten commitments of two trillion in foreign partnership agreements within our country. Wages will go up while the tax rates go down, but tax income into the treasury based on growth goes up—a principle Democrats will never understand with the false political math that is failing us all. Many Republicans have fallen into line with Democrat-authored nonsense.
Pay down the debt, all $36 trillion, and replace it with $10 trillion in surplus, and never pay interest again. The biggest opportunity to make this a reality is unleashing our natural energy resources. It will drive costs down and income up for every single American.
And finally, have something more than free trade, but fair and equal trade. It will lift all nations because they will be forced to be productive and seek their own surplus.
The benefit of all this will be that socialistic countries will seek capitalism over their failed socialism, money flows between nations will be normalized, and all of which greatly reduces the likelihood of war.
So, stop believing in political math; just use the logic of household math, and you will go from nonsense to common sense in the blink of an eye. And when you see people complaining about DOGE, just know they are the problem because they do not see the math. They have been taught to hate, and there is something about hate that blinds one to math and logic.
In the Wizard of Oz, there is that famous scene where Oz, the fireball image that was so commanding, was telling Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Lion, and the Tin Man not to look at the man behind the curtain, which was revealed by Toto, the small dog. The Scarecrow with the brain figured it out, the Lion with the courage called it out, the Tin Man with the heart felt it out, and Dorothy, who was innocent, found her way home again. The curtain has been pulled back, so either use your brain, your courage, your heart, or your innocence to see what Toto, i.e., DOGE, is revealing. If you deny the obvious, you will not find your way home because home will be blown away like a tornado that took Dorothy home in the heartland of America.
Just saying the obvious once again! 😏
