Placing federal budget-slashing authority in the hands of the richest man on Earth is a prescription for disaster.
The billions of dollars that Elon Musk is slashing from, say, the Education Department, or USAID, or Medicaid is no sweat off the nose of Musk, who cannot relate in any fashion to the troubles faced by Mom and Pop, or the young family seeking to survive.
But here is, making decisions that determine whether kids have enough food to eat, or whether parents can send their children to college or whether to send money to help impoverished nations.
Musk doesn’t get any of that. For that matter, neither does the POTUS, who grew up in a privileged household and was given millions by his father to chart his own business course. Donald Trump’s business record has been, shall we say, a mixed bag.
Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency is designed to make government less bloated. I actually endorse what sounds like a noble idea. However, slashing and burning federal departments while depriving “normal” Americans of services they have grown to expect carries the strong hint of arrogance … and ignorance into how much regular folks depend on that service.
Elon Musk doesn’t get it … not at all!
If you took time to research, I know you won’t, you’d find that no cuts will dramatically affect anything you tried to exploit with your anger. At least you didn’t go on a f-bomb tirade like your elected officials have been doing. I guess a script was sent out for democrats to follow.
We truly need a two party system in this country. If democrats can’t get a direction that the American people can get behind, they are going to be relegated to a third party behind independents.
