Apparently our government cannot explain how 4.7 trillion dollars was spent. Are you kidding me? A stack of 4.7 trillion one dollar bills would reach all the way to the Moon and part of the way back. This is yet another example of why we desperately need the Department of Government Efficiency. I realize that my articles about DOGE have caused some confusion in recent weeks, and so let me try to explain. On the one hand, I have been arguing that we must crack down on waste, fraud and abuse, but on the other hand I have been arguing that what DOGE is doing is going to cause a great deal of pain. Some readers think that I have been contradicting myself, but I have not been contradicting myself at all. There are times when we must do things that are necessary even though we know that they will cause a tremendous amount of pain. We have piled up the largest mountain of debt in the history of the entire planet, and it really is an existential threat to the future of our nation. But cutting down the size of the federal government and greatly reducing the flow of cash that is being spewed out of the giant money machine that we call the U.S. Treasury is going to cause immense chaos. Honestly, I do not know if our society will be able to handle it. (Read More...)
If You Think That The Left Is Angry Now, Just Wait Until Fraudulent Social Security Payments Stop Going Out
What is our society going to look like if “the biggest fraud in history” is brought to a screeching halt? Elon Musk and his DOGE team have been taking a meat axe to federal agency after federal agency, but Social Security is the big Kahuna. According to the Social Security Administration, in 2025 approximately 69 million Americans will be receiving Social Security payments each month, and those payments will come to a grand total of approximately 1.6 trillion dollars for the entire year. As you will see below, it appears that the Social Security program is being victimized by fraud on a massive scale. If those fraudulent payments stop going out, those that have been living the high life at our expense are going to be extremely, extremely angry. (Read More...)
Bureaucracy Is One Of The Central Pillars Of Our Economy, And It Is Starting To Crumble (Jobless Claims In D.C. Up 36% In 1 Week!)
One of the central pillars of the U.S. economy is melting down right in front of our eyes. We spend gigantic mountains of borrowed money to maintain the largest and most bloated bureaucracy in the entire history of the planet. More than 3 million workers are employed directly by the federal government, more than 7 million workers are employed by private institutions that rely on government funding or government contracts, and more than 20 million workers are employed by state and local governments. So that gives us a grand total of more than 30 million workers that are employed in bureaucratic jobs. Needless to say, on average bureaucratic jobs pay more and have better benefits than jobs in the private sector. So what is going to happen to our deeply troubled economy as large numbers of good paying bureaucratic jobs start to disappear? (Read More...)
I Just Had One Of The Most Alarming Dreams Of My Entire Life
I don’t even know where to begin. I normally do not write an article on Saturday night, but in this case I feel compelled to do so. I need to share the dream that I just had with everyone that I know, and the easiest way for me to do that is to publish it online. I want to get this out while the details are still fresh in my mind. I have really been shaken up by what just happened, and so writing this article is not going to be easy. (Read More...)
14 Shocking Facts About The Student Loan Debt Bubble And The Great College Education Scam
More than 18 million students are enrolled at over 5,800 colleges and universities in the United States. On average, it costs more than $100,000 to attend a college or a university in the U.S. for four years. It has been estimated that a college eduction is now over 400 percent more expensive than it was 40 years ago. But even though our institutions of higher learning are sucking so much money out of our young people, it never seems to be enough, and so they are constantly begging for more money from the federal government. If you can believe it, the U.S. government has been providing more than 170 billion dollars a year to postsecondary education programs. Much of this funding comes in the form of research grants, student aid, and government contracts. But what are we getting for all of this money? The truth is that we are getting an entire generation that has had their heads filled with leftist propaganda. (Read More...)

12 Facts About The Deindustrialization Of America That Will Blow Your Mind
The United States is rapidly becoming a “post-industrial” nation. All great economic empires eventually become fat and lazy and squander the great wealth that their forefathers left them, but the pace at which America is doing this is absolutely breathtaking. Nobody can deny that our economy is a complete and utter mess right now, and we only have ourselves to blame. It was America that was at the forefront of the industrial revolution. It was America that showed the world how to mass produce everything from automobiles to televisions to airplanes. It was the great American manufacturing base that crushed Germany and Japan in World War II. In fact, the primary reason why we won World War II is because we simply outproduced our enemies. But now we are witnessing the deindustrialization of America. Tens of thousands of factories have left the United States over the past several decades. Millions upon millions of manufacturing jobs have been lost during that same time period. The United States has become a nation that consumes everything in sight and yet produces very little. Do you know what one of our biggest exports is today? Waste paper. Yes, trash has literally become one of our top exports as we voraciously blow our money on whatever the rest of the world wants to sell to us. The United States has become bloated and spoiled, and our economy is now just a shadow of what it once was. Once upon a time America could literally outproduce the rest of the world combined. Today that is no longer true, but Americans sure do consume more than anyone else in the world. If the deindustrialization of America continues at this current pace, what kind of a future are we going to be leaving to our children and our grandchildren? (Read More...)
11 Signs That A Recession In The U.S. May Have Already Started
The Biden administration has given us an economy in which homelessness is at an all-time high, demand at food banks is at an all-time high, and poverty is growing all around us. The rising cost of living is absolutely crushing households throughout the nation, and now delinquencies are rising, businesses are going bankrupt at a staggering pace, and mass layoffs are happening from coast to coast. We won’t officially know whether we are in a “recession” at this moment or not until months from now, but I guarantee you that it certainly feels like a “recession” to millions upon millions of us. Our economic momentum has been rapidly taking us in the wrong direction for a long time, and the level of economic pain that we are witnessing right now is truly frightening. The following are 11 signs that a recession in the U.S. may have already started… (Read More...)
