CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JANUARY 30, 2025
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS OFFERED FEDERAL EMPLOYEES A DEAL. HE WILL GIVE THEM EIGHT MONTHS PAY IF THEY LEAVE AND FIND OTHER JOBS. IT’S A CREATIVE PLAN, ONE THAT WILL HELP REDUCE THE SIZE AND COST OF GOVERNMENT. THE PRESIDENT SAYS FEDERAL EMPLOYEES CAN ALSO TAKE A CHANCE AND STAY, MEANING HE INTENDS TO DOWNSIZE GOVERNMENT THE EASY OR THE HARD WAY.
HE ALSO WANTS TO FREEZE FEDERAL GRANTS. A BIDEN FEDERAL JUDGE HAS PUT THAT ON HOLD UNTIL HE HEARS ARGUMENTS FROM GRANT RECIPIENTS. TOO MANY GRANTS GO TO WASTEFUL PROJECTS, LIKE THE GREEN NEW DEAL AND UNIVERSITIES THAT ALREADY HAVE LARGE ENDOWMENTS. THIS, TOO, IS LONG OVERDUE FOR TRIMMING.
THE PRESIDENT IS ALSO FOLLOWING THROUGH ON HIS PROMISE TO RID THE COUNTRY OF CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENS. BORDER PATROL AGENTS ARE APPLAUDING AS THEY CAN FINALLY DO THEIR JOB. A LARGE NUMBER OF AGENTS ARE AT THE SAN DIEGO BORDER, SHIPPING THE ILLEGALS BACK TO MEXICO AND SOUTH AMERICA.
THE PRESIDENT MAY NOT GET EVERYTHING HE WANTS, BUT IF PUBLIC SUPPORT REMAINS HIGH HE WILL FLUMMOX DEMOCRATS WHO HAVE NOTHING TO OFFER IN RETURN EXCEPT BOGUS CLAIMS THAT CHILDREN WILL STARVE. I’M CAL THOMAS.
