Trump and his Administration are trying to do something that has never been done in history:
Create what is essentially an economic depression in the government sector (reduction of 10% or more) at the same time as an economic boom in the private sector.
DOGE, lead by Musk, is working to overhaul antiquated government payment and management systems while rooting out corruption and waste.
Simultaneously, President Trump is ordering his cabinet to cut regulation and beaucracy, streamline operations in order to increase efficiency and reduce costs at a RECORD PACE all while maintaining essential functionality.
It is critical that America experience a boom in the private sector in order to offset the bust in the government sector. Jobs lost in the one have to to be picked up in the other. Financial flows lost in the government sector HAVE to be offset in the private sector.
There are many more ways this Administration is radically rebalancing America's economy. It is incredibly bold and risky. It could be enormously successful or a horrible disaster!!
WORTH THE RISK!!
I do not believe America has a choice. The Debt and Deficit are unsustainable. We have "kicked the can so far down the road" for so long that we were about to hit the wall. Our national debt & deficit, as well as off-budget obligations, are about to wreck not only America's economy, but also the entire world. If the new course our Nation is on fails to save ship USA, and it goes down, it will take everything down.
EXPECT MISTAKES!
Re-balancing our economy requires massive changes at a break neck pace. It WILL come with mistakes that need to be corrected. There will be overshooting and adjustments. We have to be tolerant and allow for this. We must not play into partisan self-interests. We have to make this work and that requires that we work out and work through problems along the way.
WE ALL BETTER PRAY THE PRESIDENT AND THE CABINET SUCCEED. FAILURE WOULD BE A HORRIBLE THING FOR US ALL!!!
