“Do people really understand why SOMEONE had to cut the government spending?
You should not be mad at Elon after you read this.
I think many people misunderstand what’s really been going on. This is of course because there’s been a one-sided marketing machine lying to people.
Before Biden took office there were 2.2 million government workers. When he left office there were almost 3.1 million. This is the biggest increase by far that I could find—and I looked back 20 years.
This is because he was hiring people to increase the GDP and show job growth, but it was really government job growth. He added 74K people just last fall!! We can’t afford all those people.
Unfortunately, Trump can’t even take us back to our normal levels adjusted for population because they have protections after two years. And the people who don’t have protections are suing.
Eventually, they will be gone, but right now they’re still a drain on our government thanks to activist judges, who are not following the law. Many of them have conflicts like family members who are making money from this grift.
Bill Clinton got rid of 460,000 people and nobody batted an eye.
In the four years Biden was in office we went from a $4 trillion budget to a $7 trillion budget. We can’t afford that.
Trump took office and as soon as he was in office the debt ceiling went back on, and the government was literally out of money. We can’t operate like that.
Your money is going to be worth nothing. It’s government spending that has fueled all this inflation. Everyone agrees the inflation has been out of control. It’s got to be cut.
I don’t think Trump is really explaining the dire situation that we’ve been in.
But even if he did – the real problem we’re having is that a lot of the fat and pork is in programs that are fueling the Democrats. And I mean literally committing fraud, fueling Act Blue, which is the Democratic political fundraising arm and other such programs.
We have $2000 per paper cup, we have $60,000 a month in K cups in a building that’s not occupied, we have almost $1 million funding the cleaning and caretaking of a one room museum. We have money going to NGOs with an 80% overhead that send it to other NGOs with an 80% overhead.
We have Nancy Pelosi who got $14 million for a supposed organic farm in the middle of San Francisco.
USAID money funded George Soros, who funded the soft on crime DAs and the BLM riots and the Palestine riots and the Tesla riots—and January 6.
This is literally money laundering.
And the people who have been getting the money are mad. This is not really about necessary jobs being cut whatsoever. And just because you work for the government doesn’t mean you have a job forever.
It’s Biden who did people a disservice by creating this mess.
Don’t let people lie to you go do your own homework. “
