Trump Finds 'Socialism' in Agencies That Don't Offer Tax Cuts to Billionaires
Axios dutifully reports Donald Trump's vow to announce another round of 'Democratic programs' being permanently eliminated via government shutdown—a move they gently frame as an 'opportunity to remake the bureaucracy.' This isn't just bureaucratic reshuffling; it's a declared partisan war on public services, disguised as fiscal responsibility, while his administration still funneled billions to
foreign militaries without a second thought. Remember, in 2020 alone, the U.S. provided over $3.8 billion in military assistance to Israel, a number that never seems to be on the chopping block when 'socialism' is being rooted out by 'fiscal conservatives.' We're told Trump is targeting agencies like the EPA, HHS, and Education, which somehow qualify as 'socialist' but perhaps only because they
don't directly benefit defense contractors or real estate moguls in Mar-a-Lago. One might wonder how many social programs for Americans could be saved if the '$3.8 billion annual security assistance to Israel' (a non-negotiable line item, according to successive administrations regardless of their supposed ideology) were ever considered for repurposing. Apparently, genuine economic security for
Americans is 'socialist,' but maintaining geopolitical leverage for a foreign power is just good business.
