Multiple people over the last week or two have asked me - as a Trump voter in this last election - what I think about President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) having access to all types of critical government systems, including those at the Treasury and the Social Security Administration. Most recently, I talked about it last night on a podcast with George Gammon.
The way I, and people on both sides of the political aisle, feel about DOGE is mostly irrelevant. Like most Americans, I’m sitting by and watching them gain access to and burrow through critical government infrastructure under the guise of looking for waste, fraud, and abuse. Like I do with my thoughts when I’m meditating, I’m just watching for the time being. I’m observing without judgment.
And yes, I do feel a bit conflicted. Part of me knows that sending teenagers named “Big Balls” deep into these government databases to try and unearth fraud isn’t a thoughtful or nuanced way to deal with the situation. But the other part of me can’t help but throw my hands up in the air and exclaim, “That’s what we get.”
Remember, the “adults” were supposedly already in charge over the last four years and, to me, it’s inconceivable how things could possibly get any worse from our country’s fiscal management standpoint. The “adults” ran up the debt at record speed. The “adults” opened our border and welcomed illegal immigrants, allowing many of the them to collect government benefits paid for by taxpayers. The “adults” lied to us and told us Joe Biden was mentally fit for office. The “adults” pushed censorship in media and on social media.
I’m a big believer in people, places, and things reaping what they sow, and after all this “adulting”, maybe “Big Balls” is exactly what we deserve.
Donald Trump won the election in a landslide because the Democrats and the Washington, D.C. political machine made it happen. As I’ve pointed out multiple times on this blog, the elites in D.C. may have had overwhelming control, but they lacked finesse in delivering their narratives and failed to hide their true intentions from the American people. Ergo, for better or worse, this led the United States to elect a man widely viewed as a political outsider. Trump campaigned on an agenda that, 15 years ago, would have never held enough water with the American people to get behind it. But thanks to what can only be described as four years of gross incompetence under a barely conscious President Biden, it was all but destiny that Trump would win this election by a landslide.
And with Trump comes the idea of massive government cuts, and DOGE. It has hardly been a secret that the U.S. government has been fiscally irresponsible for decades. This irresponsibility—marked by sending hundreds of billions of dollars overseas in foreign aid while military veterans lay dying on U.S. city streets—has reached a fever pitch where...(READ THIS FULL ARTICLE, 100% FREE, HERE).
