In Washington, nothing succeeds like failure; there are no temporary programs; a budget “cut” means a program’s growth rate goes from 8 percent to 7 percent; and every honest, productive person in America is robbed to pay for it all. From T.L. Davis at tldavis.substack.com:

One has to view the federal government as a criminal organization. That’s the only way it makes sense, that’s the only way to approach a rectification. Without that, with thinking that there are just some adjustments to be made in the Republican or Democrat balances in the House and Senate, nothing will happen.
The government is a means of swindling the American people of taxes, promising to address their issues, but that’s like a fraud scheme designed to promise fixes to one’s house until they get the down payment and disappear into the mist. The level of transfers from the treasury to NGOs that provide money for protesters and coordinate the resistance to deportations, reducing federal employees and agencies is massive. The budget hardly pays for anything other than anti-American propaganda making miniscule percentages of the population dominant in every aspect of American life.
It’s all a scam to distance the American people from their pride in themselves as a people and the continuity of the nuclear family. In a lot of instances, that’s the stated goal of these NGOs and it’s been so long since there was an actual appropriations process to the budget that these funds are perpetuated with every continuing resolution (CR) they pass.
