Since shortly after Donald Trump’s recent reelection to the presidency, a great deal of attention has been focused on Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has inspired hope in some and fear from of those “targeted” that those hopes would come true.
Many of those who feel their self-interest is threatened by a search to eliminate excess costs of government have treated DOGE as if it was a historically unique effort (which helps them characterize it as “untried” and “outside the mainstream”). But there have actually been many such efforts, as Bob Maistros has recently laid out, but they have not been notably successful in achieved their lofty goals. A major reason is the standard political reaction.
Defenders of every spending program insist that theirs is exceptionally deserving and must be spared. Some will even claim that far more of their favorite spending is necessary, not far less. The extent of their claims makes me think DOGE actually stands for “dozens of gross exaggerations” made in response. Their common theme is that every possible funding reduction they face is unfair and unjustified, and it is not long before those claims are backed by threats that the most valuable services (rather than the least valuable ones) would be decimated under the control of the bureaucrats in charge, often referred to as the Washington Monument strategy.
In large part, that concentrated opposition to reining in insufficiently effective government programs is because every government spending initiative creates an interest group of beneficiaries and program functionaries, regardless of whether the services provided to citizens justify the costs. That is why Milton Freedman once suggested that the most reliable way to stop such programs was in their cribs, before those interest groups were formed.
DOGE-type efforts must combat such a bias toward growing government. But there is a powerful logical tool to reinforce such efforts, but which is all too commonly overlooked. It is the recognition that not only is it necessary for citizens to get at least a dollar of value from every dollar the government spends to advance the general welfare referred to in the Preamble to the Constitution (sometimes referred to as an ideal but seldom demonstrated as a reality), it is necessary that each dollar spent must create far more than a dollar of value to citizens, for the simple reason that every dollar of government spending costs Americans far more than a dollar.

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
