Once in a Lifetime Opportunity to Fix The Bureaucratic Insanity

47 Baiting The Left Vast Right Wing Conspiracy 24 Comments

Jeffrey A. Tucker has penned a long, but brilliant post:

Four years have gone by and Trump is back again, this time with a determination to slay this beast, one that he knows all-to-well. The efforts of DOGE and MAHA and MAGA are epic in scope, breaking a century of pathetic acquiescence toward the deep, middle, and shallow states, at last using moral courage to confront the problem head on, come what may.

They are profoundly aware that they MUST act fast and with some degree of ferocity, even recklessness, else we will default back to the status quo of leaders who pretend to be in charge while the embedded system runs things behind the scenes.

It has been this way for TOO LONG. The voters this time have demanded change, and mustered the faith to believe that change is possible. This is precisely what DOGE is attempting, to make good on a promise, a promise that for once the voters actually believed was credible.

  1. I’m not confident that DOGE is going to accomplish what it would like. Rand Paul put forth an amendment to a recent spending bill calling for $1.5 trillion in cuts. It was voted down 79 to 24. Twenty nine Republicans voted against it.

    1. Elected officials know that CUTTING spending is very unpopular with the grifters back home in their districts. Isn’t that what gets Rep’s. elected and re-elected incessantly? Bringing home the bacon to their Districts?

      Fact is … the Federal Government has been TOO BIG an employer in the USA, for far TOO LONG. And what has it gotten us? An endless string of $ multi-Trillion “Infrastructure” Bills that never manage to rebuild anything more than a few handicap curb cuts from a 1:12 slope to a new standard 1:15. Cut it to the bone.

      1. They just have to point out they are cutting all the stuff that doesn’t make it out of the sucking black hole of spending that is Washington, DC.

        1. The trouble politically with cutting spending is that everyone wants SOMEONE ELSE’s spending to get cut, not their own pet project. This applies to voters, politicians, businesses, lobby groups, all across the board. “Cut spending!” “No, not THAT program!”

          Trump is in a position where he DGAF about any of that. He can take a chainsaw to all of it, and as J. Tucker points out, he has to do it now with all due haste, because an opportunity like this may not come again in time for it to matter, if it ever comes at all.

    2. They may find at some point that being Primaried by an opponent backed by Musk is the price to be paid for not following the plan!

  2. It’s not just that the voters demanded change. As Elon pointed out so clearly, if the US remains on its present course it will be bankrupt. There are no “managed bankruptcies” when the defaulter is the world’s largest economy and the global reference currency. Trump and his cadre aren’t just saving America, they’re physically yanking the rest of the world’s profligate bankruptcies-in-waiting, back from the brink and forcing them to follow suit. If the US returns to a semblance of fiscal probity, any nation that fails to do so as well will face absolute ruin. If Trump and his team succeed, this will have been a watershed moment in at least US history, that could very well have global repercusssions and usher in an entirely new era. It’s difficult to imagine an historical parallel. Waterloo and the Congress of Vienna come to mind. So do 1865, 1776 and 1453, though none of those were as global as this could be.

    The Dems, the post-modernists, the globalists, the MSM, the would-be destroyers of Western civilization, and the Deep State (BIRM) were worried about “Trump Reloaded”, when what they’re actually facing is “The Trump Revolutions”. Batten down the hatches. Even a bloodless bouleversement can get mighty rocky.

    2. Correct. Once again America is leading the way as they have the last 200+ years. O.K. some hiccups here and there, but this is the way.

    4. Trodwell, good points. Reading Mr. Tucker’s X statement, my belief is that it will more than four years to reform government. This is why JD Vance has a key role to,play here, far more important than other vice presidents. We need Vance in gor eight years to begin to change the zu.S.mfor the better.

      One key component of the Trump revolution which many conservatives don’t realize, and appreciate, is that conservatives for far too long have been poorly organized. Trump realized this and built up a strong organization and melded it in with the standing Republican party. So I hope the organizational heft continues with Vance. The Left owns all the public indications. These have to be defunded (or weakened) and replaced with parallel conservative institutions.

  4. ALL governments at ALL levels need to be DOGE’d. They are all ancient bureaucracies that have NEVER been subjected to intense scrutiny. Time to cut them all….HARD.

  5. I suspect they know they have until the mid-terms to get as much done as possible because after that they could find themselves lame duck for anything requiring congress.

    1. all the republicans have to do for the mid term elections is run the Kamala Harris tapes as the standard bearer of the democrat party. If the voters still vote democrat then the U.S. is finished and China will take up the spoils

  6. Surely there are plans in place to reinforce the movement with the midterm elections. The momentum must be maintained. The bureacracies are entrenched deeply and they are vast. There will be pain and with that comes pushback. Four years is a short time.

  7. “They simply must succeed. There might never be another chance. The way of failure is the path everyone knows the US was on, toward economic stagnation, political scolerosis, and eventual irrelevance in the unfolding of the next stage of social evolution.”

    “Unfolding of the next stage of social evolution” is a heck of a euphemism for “enslavement of mankind by the Chinese Communist Party.” Why Tucker couldn’t call a spade a spade only he knows.

    1. Easy to fix. Don’t provide proof of work, don’t get paid, easy peasy.

      Like what we in the real world have to do.
