CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY NOVEMBER 18, 2024

     IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING. A SPECIAL AGENCY CALLED THE DEPARTMENT OF GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY WILL BE HEADED BY ELON MUSK AND VIVEK RAMASWAMY.

     THE TWO HAVE PROMISED TO CUT ROUGHLY TWO TRILLION DOLLARS IN WASTE AND REDUNANCY.

     THEY CAN START WITH PAYING TO TEACH MONKEYS HOW TO GAMBLE.

     THERE WILL BE RESISTANCE, BECAUSE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS LIKE TO “BRING HOME THE BACON,” BUT IF THE PRESSURE IS STRONG THERE IS NO REASON WHY AT LEAST A SIX PERCENT ACROSS THE BOARD REDUCTION IN SPENDING CAN’T BE ACHIEVED.

     GETTING RID OF THE WORTHLESS DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION WOULD SAVE AN ESTIMATED $79 BILLION. $100 BILLION IN GREEN ENERGY PROGRAMS COULD BE CANCELLED. BANNING FOOD STAMP RECIPIENTS FROM BUYING UNHEALTHY JUNK FOODS WOULD SAVE TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT OF THE $105 BILLION THAT GOES INTO THAT PROGRAM.

     THE FEDERAL WORKFORCE IS BLOATED AND CUTTING IT WOULD SAVE HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS.

     ALL OF THIS MUST BE DONE QUICKLY BECAUSE ENTRENCHED INTERESTS AND THE MEDIA WILL OPPOSE IT. WE HAVE A $34 TRILLION DEBT. NO NATION IN HISTORY HAS BEEN ABLE TO SURVIVE SUCH A BURDEN. I’M CAL THOMAS.
