Warren Blasts Elon Musk’s Government Power Grab



Senator Warren’s speech underscores a vital warning about the dangers of allowing one individual, especially one who is not an elected representative, to exert such extensive control over a major component of government operations. She highlights the fact that critical systems, like those responsible for sending Social Security checks, paying Medicare bills, and funding essential services, should remain in the hands of democratically accountable institutions rather than a single person’s private enterprise. Her concerns are particularly urgent because these are the mechanisms that safeguard our most vulnerable populations: seniors, patients, children, and ordinary families who rely on timely disbursement of federal funds.

In defending Senator Warren’s position, it’s clear that she champions the principle of government by the people, for the people. She rallies the public to resist concentrated power and reminds us that these systems were built to serve everyone, not to be subject to the personal decisions of someone who has never faced the voters. By calling attention to the broader implications of one individual’s influence, Senator Warren is advocating for a democratic check on power to ensure that vital services continue to flow responsibly. Her stance sends a powerful message that we should remain vigilant and engaged to protect the foundations of our democracy.

BS panic porn. Your typical garbage. Musk has no power. DOGE is a consultant to the executive branch. DOGE is identifying gov't waste and reporting it. Any action is coming from the executive branch legally. You and the globalist democrats are upset because your cash cow has been identified and CLOSED. LMAO, best thing I've seen done in government in over 50 years. :WooHooSmileyWave-vi: :banana::banana::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

Yeah, cutting too much of the government isn't good. Perhaps you'll find out the hard way when he cuts something that you don't want to cut. Like your Social Security or Medicare.
What happened to all that tariff panic porn you were peddling a couple days ago. This is just more of the same. Put your tin hat on, it will protect you from the falling sky.

Yeah, let me know when we get close to "too much". LOL!

I'm not collecting Social Security. I'm not on Medicare.

How is he going to cut those?
 
$36 trillion in debt, because Biden just added $8.5 trillion. We're already fucked.

Now let's try to cut government for a change.
Todd, do you honestly believe the United States is at risk of running out of its own currency? Think about that. The U.S. government is the sole issuer of the U.S. dollar, it’s not collecting dollars from somewhere else, which means it can never be "broke" in the way you and I can. Our families, our households, we use the currency. We don’t issue it. We can go broke; the government can’t. Your fear that the "national debt" is going to bankrupt us is fucking ridiculous. The only real question is how much of our country’s unused capacity = workers, resources, factories, we want to put to use without causing inflation.

When we talk about cutting government programs because we’re supposedly “too far in debt,” it’s like saying a carpenter can’t measure any more wood because he’ll run out of inches. We use dollars to mobilize real resources to do real things, like education, infrastructure, and health care. That’s why the "national debt" could just as well be viewed as our national surplus of dollars we’ve spent into the economy but haven’t taxed back yet. You don’t want to slash programs people rely on based on a misunderstanding that we might “run out” of something we create in the first place. We need to focus on what’s possible and beneficial, how many teachers, nurses, and infrastructure projects we can fund without pushing up inflation.

Cutting vital programs in the name of “fixing the debt” makes zero sense
when that so-called debt is simply the result of the federal government putting more dollars into the economy than it subtracts in taxes. Those dollars end up in people’s pockets, bank accounts, and investments. If you insist on shrinking that “debt” through austerity, you’re actually draining those dollars from the private sector and hurting people and communities. So let’s stop throwing around scary headlines about the debt and start asking how to use our resources effectively and productively. Because the problem is never about “affording” something in purely financial terms, when you issue your own currency, there’s no shortage of digits in a spreadsheet. The real constraints are workers, materials, technology, and the environment. That’s it. So no, Todd, the national debt doesn’t justify slashing government programs. We’re not running out of money.

"democratically accountable institutions"

There are none of those in D.C.

Until now.
Democrats are squealing like STUCK PIGS that Trump and Musk are exposing their vast money laundering operation. The source of Dem bribes, kickbacks and how they line their greedy pockets with taxpayer money. <--- THIS is the only reason Democrats run for office.
