Here’s what some folks are missing with this whole “DOGE” thing.
It’s a scam. All of it.
You see, Trump wants to give tax breaks – like about $4 Trilllion of them – not to regular folks, mind you. I mean we’ll get some pennies or whatever, but he wants to give massive tax breaks to the super wealthy.
And I realize “wealth” is relative, so I’ll be clear – billionaires will have so many tax breaks, they’re likely to pay nothing, while the poor who don’t make enough will pay nothing – leaving the burden to the middle class, where it’s basically been since the days of Reagan – a burden that has gotten heavier with each Republican administration – and Trump is the worst of them.
In order to justify these tax breaks, Trump needs to find “waste” in our government to slash – enter DOGE.
Normally, to find wasteful spending a normal president would hire auditors and certified finance experts. No one is saying these agencies are perfect, or can’t use a little haircut. But not like this. He hired a ‘business’ man and his merry gang of ‘programmers’ to do the job.
They’re slashing everything – It’s not a haircut – it’s a total beheading.
And the things they are slashing won’t make up a fraction of the tax cuts – which is why Congress is asking to lift the spending cap by… drum roll… $4 trillion. Who’s going to pay all that money back?
The middle class – of course.
So instead of feeding poor kids in school, making sure our elderly and veterans are taken care of, keeping our national parks open, funding medical research, like the kind that could cure cancer or Alzheimer’s, we are funding tax cuts for people who don’t need the money – they just want it.
Welcome to the United Oligarch’s States of America, where they are reinstituting serfdom.
And yes, this is what the Trump fans voted for.
