The government’s Ministry of Efficiency has begun its movement. DC Media is furious at his attempts to cut government agencies.
But I take Elon Musk’s side. More efficient governments have often been promised. It never happened.
Instead, the government just grew.
Senator Randpole Showcase The National Science Foundation said it was “inspired by the infamous finger snap of the villain” such as a silly government “investment” like a $118,000 study of fingerprints. The government said it concluded that “the degree of friction of the degree of friction between varying degrees of friction.” Your fingers change…Snap performance. ”
Hey, thank you.
They spent thousands of dollars studying whether Neil Armstrong, who landed on the moon, said “a little step for a man,” or “a little step for a man.” NASA says that you can’t hear “A” on the recording, but we’ve never heard “A” but we all have a pricey one that the Science Foundation concluded that “ambiguity exists.” I paid for the research.
Hey, thank you.
They also spent $1.5 million studying ways to improve the taste of tomatoes. Researchers have found that sugar is useful.
America is broken. The foolish rich should fund such frivolous research. Taxpayers should not. But each special benefit fights for its lifespan, and even if the mask cuts all such funds, it has little effect on our ever-growing deficit.
Let’s take a look at the bigger cut:
My new videoChris Edwards, editor of Cato Institute’s “Reducing government“The first thing I’m going to cut is to subsidize more than $1 trillion to state and local governments, funding for K-12 schools, funding for school lunches, and funding for food stamps.”
Giving people food stamps sounds kind, but Edwards said, “Taxpayers will fund candy and cakes,” and said, “When the state government asks to eliminate junk food… they’re allowed It’s not there.” Really. The state is not permitted to limit junk food welfare payments.
Edwards also proposes reducing corporate welfare. “The federal government can spend $180 billion a year to subsidize businesses, but that doesn’t help the average person.” You can save even more by selling a government stockpile called “300,000 incredible buildings.”
Many are sitting in the sky. The one in my video looks first class, but the government hasn’t sold it yet. Additionally, bureaucrats do not sell unused land. The federal government owns much, including most of the land in the western United States.
“I don’t know the market value,” Edwards says. Instead of selling, politicians print more money and use it to buy more land, like their recent purchase of 640 acres in Wyoming.
President Donald Trump says he will make the cut. he? He didn’t do it last time. This time he seems more serious about it.
He recently ended the DEI program and told federal DEI workers “don’t enter.” But he’s still paying them!
“It’s extremely difficult to fire federal workers,” Edwards points out. And even if Trump fires all federal employees, it still doesn’t rule out the deficit. It is almost impossible to do so without cutting maximum spending, without cutting defense, Medicare, and Social Security. So far, Trump says he won’t touch them.
“Trump doesn’t need to solve the entire deficit problem in his four years in office,” Edwards says. The government doesn’t need to balance the budget. If spending growth slows, the private economy could grow enough to reduce debt.
But how can the private sector grow when there are so many regulations? “SpaceX had to do some research to see if Starship would hit a shark,” complained Musk. He told the regulator, “It’s a big ocean, right? There are a lot of sharks. That’s not impossible…”
When regulators ultimately dropped shark opposition, Musk thought the SpaceX launch had been approved. “We said, ‘OK, we’re done now,’ and they said, ‘How about whales? …If the rocket gets underwater, it explodes and does the whales have hearing impairment?” This is the real thing! Continue. ”
Maybe musk will change that. I hope so. Growth is needed to overcome a catastrophic deficit. To get that, there will be fewer government spending and fewer rules.
