Services being discarded so billionaires win

Recent polling shows Trump supporters are happy with the actions of his administration so far. He’s delivered plenty of Fox News videos of immigrants being denied due process and sent to offshore prisons. Another distraction is the on/off tariff war while Trump voters believe he knows best for the economy.

We’ll see if his policies turn into an economic disaster. These distractions work to avert attention from the significant damage that’s been done already. There are a large number of Project 2025 authors in Trump’s administration and, as stated in Project 2025, their main goal is to privatize as many of our government agencies as possible.

Musk and his DOGE agents started this process by firing tens of thousands of government workers, regardless of their skills and expertise needed to benefit Americans. The purpose is to weaken each agency’s ability to deliver needed services. As agencies aren’t able to function effectively, Trump will claim they are broken and he will “fix” it with privatization. His administration will sell our government to the highest bidders.

Large businesses and financial entities have lobbied for decades to privatize the USPS, the V.A. Health system, Social Security, etc. Social Security will be bought by Wall Street, ending the monthly payments seniors depend on. Medicare will be sold to the for-profit insurance companies, endlessly raising rates and denying services for record profits. Public school taxpayer money will be directed to private schools. Musk will wreck NASA then buy it cheap for huge profits.

Millions of Americans depend on Medicaid. Watch how that will be demolished.

Trump supporters seem unaware that the services they depend on are being discarded so that the money once used for their benefit will be given in tax breaks to billionaires. All Americans should be concerned.
