Everywhere we look, the system is starved for money. Social Security is on verge of bankruptcy. Disability benefits are denied. The war machine is starving. Veterans sleep on sidewalks. Overdoses spike. Teachers beg for scraps.
But according to Census data, the number of U.S. citizens has grown by only 6% since 2010.
So why are we broke?
In 2010, federal spending was $3.456 trillion—14.6% of GDP.
In 2023, it hit $6.134 trillion—22.8% of GDP.
That’s a 78% increase in spending in just 13 years.
And what do we have to show for it?
Nothing.
I have no inside information. But I’ll bet DOGE will soon tell us soon enough: the scale of anarcho-tyranny, the preference for undocumented noncitizens as pretext to feed federal bureacracy, goes far deeper than we thought. //

Spending up 78% since 2010. Population? Just 6%.
HHS: $1.2T to $1.7T
Education: 3X to $268B
Treasury: 2X to $1.3T
Every $ to bloated agencies = theft from vets, teachers & taxpayers.
D.C. bureaucrats feast while Americans get scraps. //

They were attempting the Cloward–Piven strategy. They were going to overwhelm the system so it would collapse to replace it with a socialist/Marxist government. If Biden/Harris would have won, it would have succeeded easily. When Trump won, it still had a chance at success but Trump understood what was happening and had DOGE at the ready. They have saved the United States from complete collapse. For now.
It is still perilous as congress needs to get off their collective a$$es and work with Trump and DOGE to fix it. Pronto. Otherwise, it will take a bit longer and we will just bleed out. If this collapses, they don't want to see what happens next. Let's just say the US has a ton of guns and will have a very upset population. Not a recipe for good things to happen.
