This isn’t political any longer. This is about the nation and its stability. It’s about the strategy. Its about the money. It’s about the quality of life of Americans from today, the day after his address to Congress onward.
Here is how this is going to go down. Trump is dismantling governmental “institutions” that were created to add oversite and control over segments of our lives and enforce regulatory policies in their respective segments. OK, let’s look at who!
Social Security
OK, I agree that Social Security needs to be reviewed. It doesn’t need to be dismantled. Musk asshole entered in into this role and was assigned it to increase efficiencies. If he actually took this seriously, he could literally have a huge win at Social Security in 6 months that would help streamline processes/workflow and then take a win on the public stage. Is that what he’s doing? No! Instead, he is following his leader, Donald Trump, and throwing metrics none of us can qualify nor understand, it’s COBAL! Trust me, those systems could easily have entries like those he “discovered” and they exist because deleting them would break some referential integrity rules, who the hell knows. It’s unknown what the metrics mean. The behavior that attacks the system early not only isn’t productive, it’s harmful to the trust consumers have with government in general, not just former administrations. The result of such behavior change this nation.
Health
The National Institue of Health (NIH) – Trump coming after them and Musk is looking at their business and their business purpose. Seems like a good idea to audit this organization, right? Sure, it is important, it just needs to be by individuals that UNDERSTAND what the hell they actually do. Musk is an idiot as are his troop of baby bozos “data engineers”. Yes, there’s waste and inefficiencies in the NIH. There’s spending that might need to be curtailed, BUT the NIH isn’t the nation’s problem! You don’t want to dismantle this for all the good it does and can do going forward. Fix it, don’t level it.
Education
The US education “system” is a giant pig that needs review. The question once again is who does the review. Like health, you need qualified people and analysts, not the Musk-burger or the Mother of the WWE WWF WTF, an organization who’s name was changed from World Wrestling Federation to World Westling Entertainment. Why does it even matter? Imagine a bunch of our poorly educated youth watching this and actually believing what they were seeing is sport. This furthers my point on education in this country. The organization knowingly profited on gullible people. I guess this makes her a successful businesswoman like Trump running Trump University? Fix education with qualified people, don’t dismantle a system.
The Economy and Trade
So here’s what’s going to happen next. This country has been floating on government spending as a means to control and even inflate the economy for decades. All the above systems allowed past administrations to INJECT money into the economy for “services”, however inefficient. This spending was a vehicle, a fiscal tool, a lever, whatever. It was a handy way we could ensure we all had a somewhat consistent life experience (this didn’t work for those in the poverty loop so much but many were actually supported through programs). General security and complacency is a pretty powerful control position. Trump’s dismantling of these tools will have consequences, and they will be long lasting. The US markets are going to crumble under the change, coupled with the tariff changes, the US better hang on as this is going to take a while.
Foreign Countries & Foreign Economies
Expect the changes in policy and the Trump upset to have countries seeking deals outside the US and filling in their need gaps. Every time this happens; the US loses its global value. The US, though loaded with engineering talent, doesn’t manufacture. This is a huge problem. We sent most of this work to China and now China isn’t happy. So what happens next? Trump and Musk want to bring back manufacturing to the US, not the worst thought, but, how is this done when the US has a aging and neglected skilled labor workforce? All that experience and value dies off as their jobs went abroad.
