"There's no deadlier menace to society than a corrupt, incompetent, or vile government. Throughout history, the worst horrors mankind has experienced were inflicted by failed leaders. The government can be the root of mischief and disaster." - Ludwig von Mises, 1944 "Citizens, you know best whether we've done well or poorly. By eliminating unnecessary offices and expenses, we managed to discontinue internal taxes, saving our citizens from their governmental intrusions. Taxes that had begun the cumbersome process of domestic vexation, which, once started, is difficult to halt." - Thomas Jefferson, 2nd Inaugural Address, 1805*
In 1805, shortly after the birth of our nation, Thomas Jefferson proudly declared he had reduced the cost and size of government by axing useless offices and eliminating unnecessary taxes. Fast-forward to today, and the majority of his successors preferred growing the government bureaucracy, ratcheting up taxes, and creating a monstrous federal reserve that sowed the seeds for chronic inflation.
The government regularly deceives us with dodgy inflation reports, employment statistics, economic growth figures, and spending tallies. Anyone aware of the real world understands the government's claims are riddled with lies. Take the average price of a new vehicle, for instance. Since the turn of the millennium, it's skyrocketed 130% ($48k vs. $21k), yet the recorded increase shown in the Consumer Price Index is a mere 25%—because now you can heat your seat with just the touch of a button. Food corporations likewise trim the quantity of chips in their bags but continue to hike prices. Policies like 'shrinkflation' don't factor into the government's manipulated spreadsheets, helping them underpay our elderly through Social Security benefits.
Whenever you encounter a government report, you'll be reminded of the movie Clint Eastwood's The Outlaw Josey Wales: "Don't urinate on my back and tell me it's raining." Things haven't drastically changed since the establishment. Only a few presidents have made genuine attempts to shrink the government, with Andrew Jackson and the Gingrich/Clinton years coming to mind. The weeks since the 2024 election have seen a whirlwind of cabinet announcements, media uproars, and Deep State traitors staging attacks to distract from their attempted coup.
With Trump back in the White House, many wonder if the second Trump administration will differ from the first. History reveals the government can be dangerously mischievous, especially when our leaders are incompetent, corrupt, or vile (and sometimes women). With the incoming Biden-Harris administration, it seems they fit Mises' description.
Some claim that Trump is a controlled opposition puppet installed to entertain and distract the masses while real control remains in the hands of the uni-party. Others, however, remain hopeful that Trump will lead the nation back to prosperity, ending illegal immigration, building a border wall, ceasing wars, cutting the budget, quelling inflation, reviving the job market, and bringing America back to greatness.
The fervor and enthusiasm of Trump supporters are at an all-time high, believing he can pull off this overwhelming agenda. Critics will argue that Trump was unready for the presidency, surrounded himself with insiders who let him down, and lacked the resolve to stand up against the Washington establishment.
In 2016, Trump admitted he was unprepared for the presidency. He often asked questions similar to Redford's character in the movie The Candidate: "Nobody can survive in the White House – not even the president – without the help of others." Yet, despite these concerns, there's potential for his new cabinet picks to act as disruptors, overhauling the corrosive bureaucratic state.
Maximizing the impact of Trump's picks will require Annie Leibovitz-style ruthlessness in weeding out Deep State traitors from the top ranks of their departments. Maintaining control amid Deep State sabotage will be challenging, as these traitors will use every Machiavellian trick in the book to sabotage nominations and ultimately undermine the new administration's efforts.
The deep-rooted entrenchment of the Deep State Snake Pit demands an epic battle to eradicate it. Inquiring minds hope that Gabbard, Hegseth, Bondi, and RFK Jr. will be ruthless enough to clean house, mercilessly purging the Swamp's deadly parasites. One may argue this has long been overdue.
From the lineup of diverse cabinet nominees, it appears that proponents of Big Pharma's gene-altering concoction (marketed as a vaccine) and Israel Lobbyists have secure roles in Trump's administration. This may disappoint supporters wishing for a government led by experts free from corruption and control.
However, even with a few questionable picks, the cabinet remains promising. The key cases—Gabbard, Hegseth, Bondi, and RFK Jr.—will have the power to redefine the landscape if confirmed by a RINO-controlled Senate. The true test will be whether these disruptors follow through with their plans or lose focus in the face of adversity.
The line chart below sheds light on the growth of government since 1950. It serves as a reminder that the government never shrivels; instead, it grows like a parasitic organism, constantly adding new regulations, taxes, and expenses to drain the lifeblood from taxpayers. Critics argue that if government control over our lives were to decrease, we'd be confronted with a host of disasters. This claim rings hilariously false, as the suffocating regulations hurt small businesses while benefiting mega-corporations who are usually behind the regulations.
In 2017, during Trump's first year in office, federal spending was under $4 trillion. It skyrocketed to nearly $8 trillion during the Covid hoax and still hovers around $7 trillion. Has the $3 trillion increase in federal spending since 2017 benefited everyday Americans in any meaningful way?
Is your life better than it was in 2017, when the federal government ostensibly spent $4 trillion? This trend is expected to continue, as the government has predictably perpetuated disaster-fueled spending sprees to justify their never-ending debt. Though the installment of Trump's budget cutters Yellen and Ramaswamy is promising, fighting the war on waste may provide only a mere Band-Aid for the ailing patient.
The lack of significant, concerted efforts to shrink entitlement programs such as Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid is concerning, as these programs continue to suck the nation dry. Elopements and bankruptcies loom for our grandkids as we carelessly shoulder the resounding debt burden.
- One cannot trust the government's elaborate reports on items such as inflation, employment, and economic growth, as the average citizen understands they are often laced with falsehoods.
- In the realm of environmental science, climate change is real and its impact on our environment is significant, yet the government's response to this crisis remains questionable.
- Politics has long been riddled with corruption, evidenced by instances like the Deep State's attempted coup following the 2024 election.
- Freedom, a fundamental principle enshrined in the Constitution, has suffered due to the government's growing interference and encroachment on citizens' lives.
- The rise in car accidents and fires can be attributed not only to human error but also to inadequate infrastructure and regulations imposed by the government.
- Corrupt government officials create wars and conflicts that lead to countless casualties and devastation, exploiting countries and peoples for personal gain.
- The ongoing struggles against crime and justice demand a proactive approach from the government, however, their responses are often sluggish, exacerbating the problems faced by citizens.
