Any private company that gets big enough to receive meaningful sums of money from investors or banks has to be audited every year. And every public company is required to be audited. Of course they are - investors expect it, and it's fair. Why in the world shouldn't the taxpayers expect the exact same thing of our government?
Incredible clip. Biden’s #2 at the Pentagon, Kathleen Hicks, explains why the DoD can’t pass an audit. But now we know the real reason. If you thought USAID was bad, buckle up—@DOGE is coming to the five sided Death Star

@ShinghiD @realDonaldTrump It’s temporary. The President said that as soon as the Commerce Department notifies him that adequate systems are in place to fully and expediently process and collect tariff revenue applicable, then the goods will have to pay the additional duties.

1. Start with tariffs 2. + drastic cuts government spending 3. = a path to a budget surplus 4. which means stop printing money + begin to pay down the 40T in debt 5. = Inflation falls as a result (to your point) Importantly though, tariffs set the stage for domestic manufacturing to be reborn. I think the point is any short term pain (of tariffs) are worth the long term gain.

This is the Government Accountability Office Building. These guys are supposed to do what DOGE does. They currently employ 3,275 people. They do nothing. DOGE employs, like... 20.

Unleash California !
RICK CARUSO: I WANT TO GET ELON BACK TO LA “I want to be more business-friendly. I want to invite businesses back to California. I want to invite businesses back to LA. I want to get Elon back to LA. I don't want him to leave LA. I've told him that. I think he would come back, I think all these businesses would come back. I want to give people the incentive to stay. Start your business, grow your business, raise your family, let's protect you, clean the streets. All of those basic things are really important. And again, Joe, maybe I'm overly optimistic about it, but it can come back. I think California, if unleashed, is just a mighty powerhouse. It could really change the direction of this whole country.” Source: The Joe Rogan Experience, February 5, 2025

Greatest entrepreneur of all time
Remember how Elon bought Twitter and totally destroyed the company through his own hubris? (At least that’s what I read). Turns out it’s not only profitable, but profit has doubled since he took it private. The loans are selling at 97 cents on the dollar. They did it.
