The lefties are weeping and wailing about the work Elon Musk is doing to remove wasteful spending from the national budget. They are complaining that his work is a threat to democracy. They may have a point if the American people voted for and were on board with spending our tax money on transgender operas in Columbia or sex changes in Guatemala or sterilization of women half way around the globe.
I don't recall any time the American public was in favor of such foolishness and leftist orthodoxy. Neither do I recall the American public enthusiastically supporting government workers, who generally make significantly more than the private sector counterparts, “working” inefficiently from home, while holding down other jobs, golfing, shopping or loafing around the house.
It's been said that standing against Elon Musk's efforts to eliminate waste is akin to standing for a bloated national government that fritters away money taken from hard working taxpayers. This is not entirely fair as the leftist radicals don't consider these things wasteful, but see them as essential in bringing down western civilization as we know it and replacing it with their psychopated version of a just society.
A merit based society is like kryptonite to those who, although they can't or won't achieve, but still believe they should reap the fruits of American prosperity as the same levels of those who actually make the country function. They have nothing but disdain for the traditional two parent family as the most stable way to raise children in spite of the rampant crime and poverty in most inner city communities where this value has been abandoned.
So as we see the Department of Government Efficiency moving through the agencies of the District of Columbia and the infected areas of Maryland and Virginia, we see people losing jobs doing things that should not have been done in the first place. We also see the left deprived of a major source of their power – taxpayer money shifted from the common good to the machinations of people who believe they are smarter than the average American and who believe they are the one to straighten out the little people who still believe in God, guns and guts.
So when we hear complaints about cuts in government spending we need to look at what is actually happening and remember, it's not just about money – it's taking power from those who do not believe in America.
