“Who exactly does not understand this?
… and at $1.24 trillion in LTM interest expense, it means that 24 cents of every dollar in collected taxes goes to pay interest on the debt.”
Game Over DOGE: US Starts Fiscal 2025 With Record Budget Deficit, Shocking Interest Expense
It was back in February, when we explained to Elon Musk why his strategy to shock the US government into spending “efficiency” through DOGE, while noble, is ultimately doomed to wit: “What Musk is doing in trying to streamline the govt is admirable but ultimately it will be Congress that decides the endgame. And there things are as status quo as always.”
Status quo it was indeed, and it took the world’s richest man several months to realize it, and while there has been a heated fight in the press whether DOGE is still technically active inside the Trump admin, we have some bad news: after a valiant start to 2025, the US has regressed to its old drunken-sailor spending ways… and has seemingly done so on steroids.

“Pastor Stanley checks in with Thanksgiving 1789”
George Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation October 3, 1789
Many thanks to Danny at Deep South Homestead for his podcast on George Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation of October 3, 1789.
After reading this profound and yet succinct declaration it is indeed sobering to realize just to what depths that These United States have fallen. It is God who gives us our sustenance. It is God who for so many years has rendered mercy for a sometimes stiff necked people. And because where the Lord is, there is liberty:
“Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”
