“Privatization costs more, is less efficient, has worse outcomes, and people get less.
#DOGE has never been about finding fraud and waste. Its goal is to privatize essential government functions and give contracts to Trump and Elon’s circle of #oligarchs.”
-M D’Arrigo
If the #TrumpMusk regime succeeds in their goal of privatizing most of the fed govt, it’ll exacerbate health inequalities & destroy
the social safety net.

"One small business has paid nearly $30K in the past 2 months."
“Trump: These tariffs we’re going to make a lot of money,” Susan told me. “Well, you’re stealing money from me.”
#Tariffs are devastating US businesses, & many: worldwide.
Trump's intent is to destroy the fed govt for #privatization.
Let's hope that there're more "Bacons" in Congress:
Rep Bacon: "We made a mistake. We passed leg that gave the pres. some temporary tariff authorities."

"Treasury Department is set to lay off a ‘substantial’ number of employees, official says.'
“These plans will be tailored for each bureau, and in many cases will require separations of substantial numbers of employees through reductions in force (RIFs).'
The federal govt is being ransacked for #privatization. If Musk's DOGE isn't stopped soon, the damage may be permanent.

Trump is destroying the economy to privatize the fed govt.
"The Conf Board's consumer confidence index dropped in Mar to -lowest level since Jan 2021. Trump's pres.: Americans as pessimistic as they were during: Covid crisis. Consumer inflation expectations
6.2% in Mar.
Before Trump took office, the US economy was surging ahead of Europe’s. Trump’s managed to reverse that trend."

The WH, through Harbinger, an outside event prod co, is soliciting corp sponsors for this year’s
Easter Egg Roll, prompting major concerns from ethics experts & shock from fmr WH officials.
It shouldn’t be a shock, profiting off of literally everything, has always been Trump’s brand. He’s never had a moral compass, understanding of altruism, or empathy for the marginalized. Journalists continue to normalize the #TrumpMusk regime’s #privatization plan & #fascism.

"The governors who were there to cheer on this latest attack on public education all have one thing in common beyond their party affiliation: they are all pursuing disastrous education privatization schemes in their states."
~ David Pepper
Returning total control of education to the states will not only assure poorer educational outcomes, but will speed privatization.

@Nonilex Privatizing Amtrak is a good idea. Bureaucrats are bad managers. They are net tax consumers, parasites, exploiters. Customers and taxpayers (bureaucrats aren't real taxpayers!) will definitely benefit from privatization. #amtrak #privatization #marketeconomy
