President-elect Donald Trump’s bold and innovative decision to create the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under the leadership of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy could not have come at a more critical juncture in our nation’s history. Our fiscal trajectory has gone largely unchecked for more than 25 years, when Democrat President Bill Clinton and Republican Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich put the country first by negotiating a balanced budget agreement.
Now, after decades of poor stewardship of our hard-earned tax dollars by career politicians, it is time once again for our new leaders in Washington to make tough decisions regarding our country’s ongoing federal spending catastrophe. We should all be thankful and encouraged that a once in a lifetime trio of leaders like Trump, Musk and Ramaswamy who possess a “do it all, do it now” approach are willing to do whatever is necessary to Make America Solvent Again.
Trump, along with Musk and Ramaswamy, are already working to save America from bankruptcy. However, with a narrowly divided Congress, this effort will take bipartisan support just like in the 1990s. Make no mistake, getting our nation’s fiscal health back in working order for future generations will not happen overnight.

The only thing more staggering than our deficit spending is the sheer arrogance and irresponsibly of the failed status quo in Washington over the past 20-plus years. Right now, our federal budget deficit is bumping up against $2 trillion and our out-of-control national debt is over $36 trillion. […]
