President-elect Donald Trump has announced that billionaire Elon Musk and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy will lead the Department of Government Efficiency in the USA.
The pair will work together, as Trump put it to “dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies.”
Trump went on to say that “It will become, potentially, The Manhattan Project’ of our time,” Further headlining the announcement on Tuesday evening, he went on…. “Republican politicians have dreamed about the objectives of ‘DOGE’ for a very long time”.
The president-elect said that Musk and Ramaswamy will provide “advice and guidance from outside of Government and will partner with the White House and Office of Management & Budget to drive large scale structural reform and create an entrepreneurial approach to Government never seen before.”
Boy, could we do with something like that here. Can you imagine the savings? Can you see the woke infested Whitehall mandarins flapping around like fish out of water finally held accountable to those who actually pay their wages? Can you just imagine this Chancellor finally brought down to earth with a bang and forced to confront reality instead of baffling us with rhetorical nonsense about mythical “black holes”?
The juices flow, the pulses race at such a prospect, Possums. Sadly though, Two-Tier and his band of Labour faithful Muppets will want to maintain the status quo. They simply cannot break with tradition; for them it would be like losing a loved one, the present parliamentary Labour benches would go into mourning.
The prospect of Elon Musk taking a wrecking ball to Labour profligacy and recklessness is a tantalising prospect, but would any of our political leadership have a pair big enough to give it a go? Well, I can think of one who would and of course that would be Nigel Farage, although there are those within the decimated Tory ranks who might be tempted, I fancy.
Even in the US Trump will have his work cut out for him though fending off an onslaught from progressives, who, like the Labour Party here, advocate for high taxes, mountains of red tape, and a strictly worded environmental permit to break wind it seems.
Of great assistance to Trump of course is a rare opportunity to accelerate his agenda since he will have majority Republican advantages in both the House and Senate, which he would of course be wise not to squander. As it stands it will be just under five years before we get any chance of doing something similar here.
In the few short months that Two-Tier has occupied Downing Street it has been one disaster after another. Shafting our pensioners on wholly spurious grounds, raising taxes and National Insurance to totally unsustainable levels, rewarding union militancy with inflation busting pay increases are but some of what these malevolent morons have accomplished.
Elon Musk is of course similarly viewed as a radical and polarising right-wing devil incarnate amongst the loony leftie luvvies in this country as well as in liberal circles in the US. But just as the message ought to be heard there, we here would all be extremely well advised to listen too.
I don’t know about you, but I have very little faith in the political arena in this country. Apart from a clear minority there is very little evidence of genuine integrity in our elected representative ranks that inspires any confidence at the moment.
Let’s call it for what it is, Two-Tier fibbed big time before the recent election by breaking manifesto and campaign promises once he’d won. How he can stand in front of a camera with that po-faced stare and trot out the porkies one after the other obviously takes a special kind of skillset.
But so long as his chums like Lord Alli and his union paymasters are happy, I suppose, then all is just fine and dandy. Given we had the dynamic and cost efficiency mindset of Elon Musk available to us then we might really take off economically and the benefits of Brexit would be all too evident.
Sadly, this prospect will never come to fruition anytime soon, but perhaps there is someone waiting in the wings to champion a long overdue overhaul of the national governments within the UK one day.
We live in hope, perhaps?
