The recent supposed controversy between President Trump and Mr. Musk isn’t what the Dems try to infer! These are two gentlemen that are both A+ personalities; one, the President, who in his own view, looks at the immediate problems facing our country and ops to solve these pressing issues (and they are wide ranging). Mr. Musk is a visionary, who looks to the far future and has the ability to focus on many subject that interests him. In this case, Mr. Musk was given a task that I am sure he has faced in his business world and exceeded all expectations with what he uncovered! It is also interesting that all of us are individuals and as I have viewed different controversies over my 90+ years of age, I always come back to this fact, “If you want a different opinion, ask someone else”!
Both of them are business owners who realize this basic fact, if your expense is more than your income, you will go broke and lose everything. They are both patriots and have given those legal citizens of this republic (country) their experience and time to straighten out the mess that was created by previous administrations. OUR COUNTRY IS NOTHING MORE THAN A GIGANTIC CORPORATION!
Based upon what Elon Musk uncovered in reviewing money processes within our government reminds me of a thought I base my own beliefs on is this, “it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this out” but I guess I was wrong as Mr. Musk is a rocket scientist and it didn’t take him long!
Now getting into the meat and potatoes of our government! That problem is the task of following the money trail after congress passes and the President signs the legislation and is given to the various cabinet secretaries! Then whose job, is it to follow that money trail?
The following, on an average, are the congressional committee’s staff, house 68 and Senate 46.
Then there is the personnel staff based upon the State size but generally have the following:
| Chief of Staff | Legislative Director | Constituent Services |
| Deputy Chief of Staff | Legislative Assistant | Press Secretary |
| Director of Operations | Legislative Correspondent | Press Assistant |
| Legislative Counsel | Staff Assistant |
In the year 2000, there were approximately 11,692 personnel staff, 2,492 committee staff, 274 leadership staff, 5,034 institutional staff, and 3,500 GAO (Government Accountability Office) employees, 747 CRS (Congressional Research Services) employees, and 232 CBO (Congressional Budget Office) employees.
Then there are about 72 Inspecter generals in our government that cover the fraud, waste, and abuse of subordinate employees, i.e., (non-elected). NOW OUT OF ALL OF THESE INDIVIDUALS, IT WOULD SEEM THAT SOMEBODY (?) SHOULD HAVE THE RESPONIBILTY TO FOLLOW THE MONEY TRAIL TO ENSURE THAT THE MONEY WAS LEGALLY SPENT.
Mr. Musk’s investigation of the government bureaucracy blatantly showed that there is no control on how that money is spent as directed by law after it enters the employee system!! THERE IS NO CONTROL!
As a former civil service employee, I know that it is almost impossible to fire a CRCS or FERS employee once they are moved from the temporary employment list to the permanent employment list UNLESS you can show documental proof and consuling documentation on a specific charge. Then there is the “process within the Civil Service system!” That process is not designed to ensure personnel are competent and trustworthy!
The Dems all speak as one, but the Republications seem to be all over the map as shown in the current negotiations in the Senate on Trump’s beautiful bill, one faction wanting reduced spending, another group having a different pet issue, and etc. Remember what I just said, “Different person, different thoughts”! The better method is to talk to our President and ask why the budget presented as he designed as it was! Our elected Congress members might learn how quality businesses operate! Again, remember when he was elected, we, the country, were given “a can of worms” by previous administrations, it certainly did not represent a Constitutional Republic as it was designed to be! As a start, I am a believer in President “Teddy” Roosevelt philosophy, “Walk softly but carry a big stick”! Or in plain terms, have a strong military force that is recognized by the world as the finest and not used unless all else fails.
On that subject, the current issue regarding Iran is that negotiating and compromising our values, knowing that Iran has shown they will agree to a document, but like history there is always a method to their madness i.e., the story of the wooden hollow Trojan Horse, a supposed gift from the Greeks to the city of Troy that actually had hidden solders inside to gain access to the city of Troy. And remember the Twin Towers in New York, Pentagon, and the field in Pennsylvania, courtesy of Iran, the loss of our Marines and their barracks, the loss of our Embassy staff and security personnel due to the failure of our Secretary of State to set into action plans, which she denied was too far away, just to mention a few that Iran financially supported!
THEY AND OTHERS THAT POSE A THREAT TO ALL FREEDOM LOVING COUNTRIES CAN NEVER BE TRUSTED!
Kudos to President Trump for destroying Iran’s Nuclear capability which sets an example to our other adversaries that want to destroy our way of life!
You can thank Joe Biden for releasing frozen financial assets to Iran so Iran could continue enriching uranium and continue funding like-minded adversaries throughout the free world and inside our country (with his “open border door policy”) and those cities, counties, and States that think, as all Democrats do, about saving or hiding illegal immigrants.
ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS, NATIONAL OR STATE PLUS THE MILITARY SWEAR TO UPHOLD THE CONSTITUNIAL LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
IT IS TIME FOR ALL OF THE LEGAL CITIZANS OF THIS COUNTRY TO DEMAND THAT OUR GOVERNMENT CONFRONT THOSE OFFICIALS THAT NOINGLY FLOUT OR IGNORE WHAT THEY SAID; “SO HELP ME, GOD”!
AND MAKE THEM “PAY THE PIPER”!
