Government SHAKE-UP

 

On November 5th, 2024 I voted like so many other Americans voted, and while my vote is PRIVATE, I am pleased with the results.  It has nothing to do with if my vote made a difference or not.

What I am pleased about is, the new administration is about to shake up Washington by reducing the size of government.

Financially, and being retired, I would have fared better under Harris because my Social Security check would have been HIGHER since Dems love to spend money and the CD interest rates would have remained higher as well.

BUT...

Government would have remained FAT and a FAT government has never been what I wanted.

To me, a FAT government, is a government that employs more people than it needs to which is the number one reason why bureaucracies as so DAMN ineffective and inefficient.

Have you ever driven by city workers working on the road, where 2 workers are doing the work, and a half dozen are standing around watching???

Every time I think about that, it pisses me off that my tax dollars are being WASTED LIKE THAT.

Trump wants to reduce government and most, if not all, of his cabinet choices have been selected by their desire to REDUCE GOVERNMENT...

Sec of Defense, Pete Hegseth, has been criticized because he is only 44 years of age, not a general and has no PENTAGON experience.

Let me draw your attention to JFK's secretary of defense, McNamara, who was not a general either, had no pentagon experience, was simply an officer, and was 44 years of age.

JFK was a Democrat, and it was ok for him but not ok for Trump???

Looks like a double standard to me...
