Food for Thought
Why are the Dems so upset about DOGE?
GM sent this in, quoting billionaire investor Bill Ackman:
“Can we agree that we have $36 trillion of national debt growing at a rapid rate, that must be refinanced and issued at a materially higher interest rate as our bonds come due and as new funds are needed? And that we had a $1.8 trillion deficit in fiscal 2024?
And can we also agree that “there is an enormous amount of fraud, waste, and inappropriate spending in our government budget?”
Two facts: “Musk has a proven ability to take over dysfunctional organizations and turn them into highly functioning ones while massively reducing wasteful overhead and other spending.
“Trump won the election with a mandate for eliminating wasteful government spending and ending regulations that interfere with our country’s progress.
“DOGE is just getting started and has already identified a massive amount of waste and likely fraud and has begun cutting a material amount of costs.
“It is axiomatic that those who are beneficiaries of waste, fraud, and unnecessary government spending will be the most threatened by the cuts that DOGE is making in these programs. The president has stated clearly that he is overseeing DOGE’s activities and that no important decisions will be made without his consent….
“Other efforts over the last many decades to eliminate government waste and fraud have totally failed.
“DOGE is our best hope for fixing our fundamentally flawed and highly ineffective bureaucratic system for running our country.”
From TS: Do you know why runners run counterclockwise?
“Running on the track more than a hundred years ago was clockwise, as all races (200m, 400m, 800m…) during the first Olympic Games in Athens in 1896 were all done clockwise.
“Strangely enough, runners expressed their discomfort and even pain when running in this direction, so international bodies, starting in 1913, adopted running against the direction of the Olympic races and made them counterclockwise.
“Modern science has proven things that confirm that counterclockwise rotation is prevalent in nature, as:
“The blood inside the human body begins its cycle counterclockwise.
“The electrons around the nucleus rotate counterclockwise.
“Also, if we go outside the scope of the Earth, we find the moon rotating around the Earth counterclockwise.
“The Earth rotates around the sun counterclockwise.
“The planets rotate around the sun counterclockwise.
“The sun and its group revolve around the galaxy counterclockwise.
“And the entire galaxies revolve counterclockwise.
“Muslims have also been circumambulating the Kaaba counterclockwise for 1400 years.”
