These are interesting times. Elections have consequences and it remains to be seen if those consequences will have lasting effects. In 1961 when Dwight D. Eisenhower delivered his famous Military Industrial Complex speech I was only thirteen. I remember something about it but at the time politics was way down on my list of important events. I think where I was going to ride my skateboard was first. It took a long time for me to understand what Eisenhower was talking about.
Let me explain. When a federal institution like the military puts together a budget it is loaded with all kinds of special people that inflate that budget to get personally rich and powerful from the venture. The military is just one aspect of the federal government, but it makes a good example of waste and fraud.
Here is an example. When we go to Walmart to buy a broom that broom has a price tag on it, maybe $4.95. When that same broom is ordered for military equipment it is called “a single-issue, hand-operated, ambulatory debris facilitator and the price tag is $500 for each. You see how that works? How many brooms does the military order? With all that extra money floating around it does not take long for a lot of special people to get especially wealthy. That is how all of Washington rolls today so if they are carping about your Social Security running out, you know why.
The current president is a supreme businessman and wants America to survive into the next century. He wants to put a stop to the fraud party that is Washinton DC. He wants to see those books, and of course the fraudsters are up in arms because they do not want to be exposed. So, the country is now in two camps, those who are benefitting from the fraud party, and those who are fed up with it.
If you think those brooms are bad, look at the fraud-loaded Department of Education and see where American students are compared to other countries. Maybe you better not because US kids can barely read a restaurant menu and many of them struggle to write a respectable grocery list. Those are the college graduates by the way. How do you think they pulled off that corrupt, mail-in vote election in 2020? They didn’t even need voters who could figure out a voting machine; they just had baskets, boxes, and sacks of votes stashed in every corner of the voting venues and went the route of standard third world country. This may have been what Eisenhower warned us about.
Don’t forget Sputnik. Everyone was going to go to college so we could stay with the former Soviet Union in science and technology. Instead, we got liberal arts colleges loaded with alcoholic, Adderall-medicated DEI hordes. We should have listened to Eisenhower because we got trans athletes knocking the snot out of females in place of smart, technically savvy engineers to lead the way into the future.
I sincerely hope the current president can fix this by opening those books but we shall see.
