Interesting take from “Rifleman” over at menofthewest.net :
…Trump understands one thing very clearly: money. They fund all of this at our expense. That’s the one thing we learned very early in the DOGE efforts. I think none of us realized just how pervasive this really was. Even George Soros dipped into the USAID money rather than his own pocketbook for much of the grief he has dealt us. And USAID is only the tip of the iceberg.
Get it through your heads. We have ONE CHANCE to fix this, and it won’t be done by pitching fits about justice and retribution, nor by squashing the DEI brigade, correcting America’s views on immigration, or even de-Zionizing the GOP. All that can come later. We need to cut off their oxygen supply at all other costs as our primary goal. Because if they get back in power, the retribution we saw from 2021-2024 was nothing compared to what they will visit upon us in 2029.
Trump saw their Achilles Tendon, and it is that the Left does not know how to earn an honest buck, plain and simple. They have built up a ridiculously complex system of financial legerdemain in order to hide it from us, but most of it comes right out of our pockets, via Uncle Sam. Get rid of that and Clown World’s circus tent collapses. Focus on that goal. Focus on defunding all of the madness. Then, when that is done, we can start on the long-term goals.
Also remember: we don’t need as much money as they need. This is another truth they are terrified of our discovering. We do not need a $7 trillion/year federal budget. We don’t need it because we are about family and community, not institutions and organizations. This is why another master stroke by Trump would be to end the United States income tax and shutter the Internal Revenue Service. We don’t need even a tenth of the things our hard-earned money and unasked-for debt has gone to. Trump is absolutely correct that tariffs and excise taxes would easily support all legitimate responsibilities of the Federal government, actually returning power to the people…
