What’s Next?

Trump won. 

First, some background:

How did he win?

It is clear that if the democrats wanted to, they could have swung a few votes in key districts to change the outcome, and the media would have said “fairest election in history.”  Not sure how the right would have reacted, but there it is.

So, why media and democrat silence?

Call it the aftermath of October 8, 2023 – the day that genocide began.  I don’t think I wrote out any thoughts on this, and I mentioned it to one or two people, but it didn’t sink in enough for me to write it out.  But it should have been obvious: the left is an unstable base for Zionist support; the right is not.  Sure, at the top of each party, the support is there.  But the base?  We have seen the answer.

Black, female college presidents, previously supported by countless millions of dollars of culture destroying money, were railroaded out of their positions because they didn’t fight so-called antisemitism.  But what happens when those that were taught to hate white males figured out that Jewish men were also white males?

Protests on college campuses against what Israel was doing.  Those same students that received endless training to hate white males now turned against a subset of those white males.  There goes the base of the left.  And it may mean the death of DEI – in addition to the economic reasons for its death, it turns out that it is a weapon against those who thought they could control it.

In any case, republicans offer a more stable base for the support of Israel and its genocidal actions than democrats currently do. 

Hence…Trump.

Why no riots?

I certainly believed that the cities would be on fire if Trump was to win – notwithstanding what my gut told me on the item immediately above.  Yet, almost nothing.  Why?  See immediately above.  The left was directed to stand down.  Sure, they are permitted to complain on air, but the sleeper cells have not been activated.

And, so?

Not a prediction, but I still think there is a possibility that Trump will not make it to inauguration.  At this point, he is irrelevant to the cause of Israel.  Republicans have control of all important institutions for at least two years, and their Scofield-brainwashed base is firmly behind the Zionist state.

For the democrats?  This is why I think the whole DEI thing is dead.  They will have to get behind some other movement besides “get whitey” if they want to win again.

Now, a look ahead:

The reality.

As you all know, I am pretty bad at analyzing events in real time.  I am worse at predictions.  This isn’t one. 

Please, No DOGE

 

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a plan to create a government efficiency commission led by Tesla CEO Elon Musk if re-elected president. This commission would conduct a financial and performance audit of the entire federal government. Musk is pushing the idea of the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.), emphasizing concerns about government overspending.

Subsequent comments set a $2 trillion reduction out of a total federal spending of something approaching $7 trillion.

Some History

A few data points to begin.  When the United States closed the gold window in 1971, unleashing all hell on the idea of money and, therefore, fiscal discipline, federal spending was $210 billion.  In 2007, the year before the great financial crisis, spending was $2.7 trillion.  Then came TARP, and all types of supposedly one-time programs, raising spending to $3.5 trillion in 2009.  I say “supposedly one-time,” because the feds never looked back. 

By 2019, the years before the planned-demic, spending grew to $4.4 trillion, almost all of the growth coming under Trump’s watch (with Republican support or a split congress).  Then, the gusher: in 2020, $6.5 trillion – all the various programs to help those poor covidians (in reality, it was all a financial system bailout – the fake illness was just the pretext; once the scam began, every department found a way to not let the crisis go to waste).  Did the number shrink post-covid?  No, current estimates are $6.75 trillion.

To cut $2 trillion from this amount shouldn’t be so tough – just take government back to 2019 levels.  Before the fake illness, before the fake president.  Does anyone feel like the government was somehow starved then, like we didn’t have enough state?

Let’s start with “Department”

I know DOGE is just a cute name, but names come with a mentality, forming a purpose.  How many government departments, once created, have ever been shut down or shrunk? 

In other words, please don’t form a department.  It will be staffed, and soon enough those on the staff will have a reason to perpetuate the existence of another department.

And this might be the worst department ever to perpetuate…

“Government Efficiency”?

First of all, this is an oxymoron.  In order for any institution to be motivated toward efficiency, a few things are required: revenue from willing customers, and the idea of profit and loss.  The government has neither of these.

The government need not satisfy its customers in order to collect revenue; it doesn’t even collect revenue from its customers in any case.  Those who pay into the federal government do so because prison is the other option.

Further, profit and loss are irrelevant to the federal government.  It can tax, print, or borrow to offset any deficits, and can do this almost indefinitely (with the sole form of discipline being an eventual destruction of the currency, the timing of which is unknown and unknowable).

But there is a bigger problem: do I want the government to more efficiently kill innocents overseas; more efficiently spy on me; more efficiently incarcerate perpetrators of victimless crimes; more efficiently process illegal aliens?  Oh, the list can go on.

Almost all that the government does are things that I do not want the government to do.  So why would I want the government to be more efficient at any of these?

So, Now What?
