"The civil service is one of the country’s most important engines of prosperity"

[initforme]

You're the idiot. The government can create all the rules it likes. If Capital refuses to invest and goes elsewhere not a dime is made. Look at the sixties and seventies, industry went overseas to avoid burdensome governmental regulations and Detroit, and the Rust Belt were the result. Shipbuilding is another example as is maritime shipping. When was the last time you saw an American flagged merchant ship? There are fewer than 45,000 American flagged merchant vessels remaining afloat and most of them are towed barges.

Companies went overseas because they were cowardly. They wanted to exploit labor overseas. Here they would have to pay a much higher wage to american workers. They used the lie that labor costed too much. I hope all the manufacturing companies coming back will be very open to paying big time wages for the same exact product being made here.

The lie was that globalization would "raise all boats".

That was bullshit. It lowered all boats.

"The civil service is one of the country’s most important engines of prosperity"​

Absurd notion, parasites creating prosperity.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

"It’s that latter fact of life that really spells doom for the abundance agenda. What we’re learning in real time is that the civil service is one of the country’s most important engines of prosperity: It keeps the country’s gears spinning, all while keeping us safe and spreading wealth to communities. Every government agency that’s torn down to the joists is going to put a huge dent in our productive capacity. Every canceled government grant is a hole torn in the fabric of the future. Every fired federal worker is a post left unattended. Without key agencies like the CDC and the USDA running properly, Americans will simply die sooner and sicken more often, further kneecapping our workforce."

The Fight for the Post-Trump Future Has Already Begun

How Democrats choose to confront DOGE’s corrupt destruction today will determine whether America recovers—and who will lead that recovery.

Progressive morons really think that the government creates wealth. Some government is necessary, but too big a government doesn't mean even more prosperity.

Government funding for medical and technological research creates immeasurable wealth for this country. It is literally the #1 reason the U.S. economy is the most prosperous country in the history of the world.

And Trump is destroying all of this.

You are short-sighted and take pride in your ignorance.

Where does the government get all the money for that?

Don't you mean taxpayer funding? Where do the taxpayers get the money?
