Dear @DOGE ... Cut The Waste That The Swamp Fights The Hardest To Keep By Chris Rossini (@ChrisRossini) The Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.) has excited many Americans, including this writer. Having the biggest government in the history of the world was never the intention of America’s Founding Fathers. You can’t have a “land of the free” and a state that interferes in every aspect of life. It has to be one or the other. In the year 2024, America is saddled with a state that not only siphons $6 TRILLION per year from the taxpaying public, but has also managed to bury itself $36 TRILLION in the hole on top of that! Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy and team are attempting to catch a falling knife. These brave individuals are tasked with entering an institution that is literally addicted to spending. Unlike the Federal Reserve, D.O.G.E. is not there to enable the spending, but to get the addicts to finally sober up. Elon has already stated publicly that he expects tremendous opposition. He’s certainly right about that. People who lust after money and power are never eager to give up either one. In addition to outright resistance, D.O.G.E. will have to look out for the usual political trickery. The first being to deflect D.O.G.E. away from real problems that bankrupt us (e.g., endless wars) only to focus on the things that aren’t bankrupting us (like the 7,697 vacant buildings owned by the government). I know that if I were a politician, and D.O.G.E. was coming to town, I would immediately get on board with supporting it. I would then start steering D.O.G.E. away from my bread and butter: "Look at the waste OVER THERE, you need to go and cut that. Don't look at me and my special interests. There's nothing to see here." The waste is so massive that it’s easy to focus on picking up the endless supply of nickels. Tackling the empty government buildings problem is nice. It’s good. It’s a great place to start. But that has to be an appetizer. The American people did not vote out the status quo because of empty government buildings. The endless supply of “foreign aid” and jumping from one useless war to another was a much bigger incentive to vote for President Trump. The vast majority of people voted for President Trump to save the country (us, the people), and not the state apparatus that tries to micromanage the world with endless wars. The big question with the incoming Trump Administration is this: Will the Trump Administration seek to save America? … Or The American Empire? The two are not the same. The idea of “let’s remake the world in our image” never works, and the American people are exhausted from paying for it. When President Trump mentions “America First,” the spirit of 1776 comes alive again. We need to get our own houses in order. The great hope for D.O.G.E., at least for this writer, is not to make the U.S. government more efficient in trying to micromanage the world. That would be a big let down. It would mean that the necessary work of saving the country will be pushed out into the future. It would mean “kick the can down the road” again. The time for taking care of America is NOW! The American people have made that clearer than perhaps ever before. D.O.G.E. picking up nickels is great. I hope that they pick up lots of them. But America is in dire straits. Go for the waste that The Swamp will fight against the hardest.

Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy and team are attempting to catch a falling knife.

These brave individuals are tasked with entering an institution that is literally addicted to spending.

Unlike the Federal Reserve, D.O.G.E. is not there to enable the spending, but to get the addicts to finally sober up.

Elon has already stated publicly that he expects tremendous opposition. He’s certainly right about that. People who lust after money and power are never eager to give up either one.

In addition to outright resistance, D.O.G.E. will have to look out for the usual political trickery.
