Trump is Playing 4d Poker DOGE is making headlines, yet Trump is helping congress blow the savings on more spending. What the hell? Here is my theory: DOGE is not about cutting government spending; it's about killing the woke mind virus by pinching off the cash firehose that sustains it. Trump didn't try to cut spending in his first term either. IMO, Trump has decided that Americans are simply too soft, so there is no way to cut government spending until we default on the debt. Any politician who tries will be voted out, so he won't try. Instead, he is optimizing for the default scenario. When you know bankruptcy is inevitable, what do you do? I think Trump has resolved to screw the bondholders as hard as possible, to benefit the rest of us. So he is running up the credit card to buy Infrastructure. Did it seem weird to you that Trump promoted infrastructure spending in his first term, and now again in his second, when we have nothing to show for Obama's trillion-dollar "Infrastructure" packages? Maybe Trump believes that, under his leadership, infrastructure spending will actually buy us some infrastructure. But again, why? The answer is: Infrastructure is a durable good that can't be repossessed. All other forms of government spending are like throwing cash into the wind, and after the default, they will mean nothing. But we will still have the bridges and roads to help us rebuild. If I am correct, Trump will not try to cut spending. Instead, he will try to spend as much as possible on projects that will still be worth something after we default.
