Democrats reduced themselves to their base of 15 to 20 percent

They must change, or they will be left behind, tweets Musk.









Pounding the facts, the law, or the table



Let's start with some facts



9:18 AM:

How do you get unvarnished and unspun facts on what is spent? If you don't have the keys to the Treasury;  but you can, at least, go to their website, and get some of those numbers to chew on. I've done some of that, but I'm not prepared to write up anything on that subject.

The numbers being discussed in the news don't amount to much when the deficit is monstrously big. The question arises as to what can be done in order to bring the budget back into balance? So I will be digging into that soon, and perhaps if I can write anything worthwhile, I'll post something about it.

It's been awhile since I posted anything on the economy. Has anything changed? One thing DID change. The share of the budget for government went up from 20 per cent to 23 per cent of GDP. In a near 30 trillion dollar economy, that (3%) would be close to a trillion. Can any of that be rolled back? We'll see about that as a possibility. Some of that expense is interest on the debt. Once interest rates went up, so did the interest payments on the debt.   So, I'll have to get back to that in the future.

The biggest challenge will be the Congress-critters



DOGE's work looks glorious, but it may be all for nought if the GOP doesn't codify the cuts into the law. One trillion in cuts would be a good start. Better yet, go for TWO.



This video won't be jipped this time. End to end must watch. One thing that has me worried. Of all the corruption found and such, it may come to nothing at all if the GOP doesn't act upon it. The POTUS cannot do the legislation for them. They have to do that part. If they won't, they will let us down. Bongino gets to that at the end of the video. Watch it all.









Another fake campaign

 

Don't fall for it. Read this to see why.
