After four years of a president with dementia who couldn't even find his way off a platform from which he had just given one of his pathetic incoherent speeches we finally have a strong president with goals and ambitions to rebuild America and restore our standing in the world. He has hired a director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement who is not afraid to deport people who are here illegally. He selected an Attorney General who is not afraid to enforce the law and will not seek to throw people in jail just because she doesn't like them or they belong to the wrong political party. His new director of the Department of Health and Human Services is aggressively going after people in the food industry that are putting unnecessary additives in our food. He is also trying to make sure Americans aren't over immunized. Every person President Trump has nominated for a cabinet position is going to do a good job. Then to top it off President Trump started a Department of Government Accountability. Elon Musk has been chosen to lead that department and he is going after government waste with a recking ball. He has to because he only has three months to cut the waste out of the federal budget and he is find hundreds of millions of dollars that are being wasted or stolen because director of DOGE is a temporary position.
It is amazing how much waste there is in the federal budget. It is disappointing how much theft there is and democrats are condemning any audits that have been ordered. It seems to me that they depend on theft for their campaign contributions. It looks like they depend on illegal immigration for a lot of their votes too. Watching a news program I saw a reporter asking people who were still in Mexico waiting for an opportunity to cross into the United States where they were headed. Some said New York City, others mentioned a variety of other cities, such as Detroit, it was almost always a city on the east coast or near the Great Lakes. A surprising number said, "Joe Biden." It makes sense to me that they thought they were being asked who they were going to vote for since the election was only a few weeks away and in a lot of states like California they register people to vote when they get their driver's license, which is something any person who sneaks across the border can easily apply for. While they are applying for a driver's license they can also register to vote. All a person has to do to register to vote is check a box stating they have legal status in the United States then sign the application. Just like that another democrat voter is registered.
Ordinarily I'd say 'government accountability' is an oxymoron, but not with President Trump. He takes his Oath of Office very seriously and is determined to make our government more efficient. Of a necessity that means that some people will lose their jobs; especially in the departments where workers aren't required to report for work or refuse to do so upon being ordered to. Seizing upon an opportunity to make President Trump look bad democrats are on the airwaves everyday saying that any federal lay offs endangers children, and any cut to an agency's budget means they'll have to cut services to children and the elderly on Medicare or Social Security. Whenever they are tasked with the prospect of budget cuts bureaucrats always cut the most vital services first. Food programs to aid hungry children, Social Security, Medicare. Those are always the only programs bureaucrats can think of to cut. It's never the extra cars that don't get used or the new furniture requests or the people who are being paid but have little or nothing to do, or the request for new people. Bureaucrats always look for the most painful cuts that can be made and propose those first.
Elon Musk isn't buying it. I've worked with a lot of bureaucrats over the years and I've rarely heard the managers brag about how efficient their employees are, it's always about the size of the budget they manage which is always huge, but never enough to get the job done. Musk can spot waste in a jiff and he's been swinging that recking ball twenty four hours a day. He'll cut billions from the federal budget without making unnecessary cuts to medicaid or medicare. Politicians like to pretend they are doing everyone a huge favor by 'saving' entitlements like social security, but Social Security is not an entitlement. People receive Social Security based on the number of years they contributed throughout their working lives. When they are talking about cuts to Social Security they are talking about breaking a promise made to working Americans in 1935 by a democrat named Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
When the right president has been elected and he assembles the right team government accountability becomes a real possibility.
