Nemo me impune lacessit
I hope we can all agree on a few things:
1. We have $36 trillion of national debt growing at a rapid rate that must be refinanced and reissued at a materially higher interest rate as our bonds come due and as new funds are needed.
2. We had a $1.8 trillion deficit in fiscal 2024.
3. There is an enormous amount of fraud, waste, and inappropriate spending in our government budget.
It is evident that @elonmusk has a proven ability to convert a dysfunctional organization and turn it into a highly-functioning one while massively reducing wasteful overhead and other spending. See Twitter (now 𝕏).
@realDonaldTrump won the election on a promise to cut wasteful government spending that interferes with our country’s progress. President Trump announced during his campaign that Elon would be appointed to oversee @DOGE. The voters knew, or should have known, that this was going to be the case.
In other words, the majority of voters signed up for DOGE with Elon as its leader.
I believe we are extremely fortunate to have one of our greatest business leaders and entrepreneurs devote a considerable amount of his limited time for free to help our country.
We are extremely fortunate that some of our most talented young people have signed on to help DOGE succeed.
DOGE is just getting started and has already identified a massive amount of waste and likely fraud, and has begun cutting a material amount of costs.
It is axiomatic that those who are beneficiaries of waste, fraud and unnecessary government spending will be the most threatened by the cuts that DOGE is making in these programs.
These beneficiaries of waste and fraud are also likely to be extremely worried about the reputational, legal and potential criminal risks they may suffer by being exposed by DOGE's activities.
The beneficiaries of government waste, fraud and inappropriate spending will understandably protest loudly and may give plausible-sounding reasons why DOGE must be stopped; because their careers and livelihoods would be put at risk by DOGE’s success.
The duly-elected president has stated clearly that he is overseeing DOGE’s activities and that no important decisions will be made without his consent.
Our legal system is in place to ensure that no laws are broken as DOGE executes its mission.
Other efforts over the last many decades to eliminate government waste and fraud have failed.
DOGE is our best hope for correcting the fundamentally-flawed and highly ineffective bureaucratic system running our country.
Elon and President Trump will doubtless face enormous pressure and pushback from those who have benefited the most from the current system.
All Americans who believe in the rule of law should therefore make their voices heard.
Tell the world that you support DOGE, Elon, and our president’s efforts to help our country, as long as they proceed legally.
We cannot afford to let DOGE fail. Our country is on the path to insolvency. I hope that none of you want that.
Let’s not let our country down.
Do your part in making sure our Congressmen and Senators know that we are behind the president, Elon and DOGE.
It’s the least you can do.
