To reduce the federal bureaucracy, we must recognize that many regulations are illegitimate. The executive branch has created numerous rules unlawfully, and acknowledging this is key to shrinking its size. This approach could effectively curb the bureaucracy's illegal actions and ultimately save the country. The growth of the federal government is relentless, as institutions inherently aim to protect and expand themselves. It's rare to hear suggestions about significantly reducing its size, but even a modest cut could transform foreign policy, the economy, and culture. There is potential for meaningful change.

The speaker is advocating for a US taxpayer refund due to information released by the Department of Government Efficiency, claiming Elon Musk and Doge revealed there are over 60,000 federal employee millionaires. The speaker states that when Joe Biden took office in 2021, there were approximately 70,000 federal employee millionaires, but by September 2024, that number more than doubled to 55,334, and is now estimated to be around 60,000. The speaker questions how this increase occurred, given the average federal employee salary is $86,000. The speaker notes that even the highest-paid federal employees, such as medical officers and cybersecurity personnel, earn around $250,000-$260,000 annually. The speaker expresses distrust in federal agencies and opposes paying down the deficit under these circumstances.

Canada is facing economic challenges, with stagnant wages, soaring inflation, and high house prices. The Fraser Institute survey highlights 24 ways Canadians are struggling, including stagnant wages, with the average Canadian earning $18,000 less than an American. The OECD predicts Canada will be the worst performing advanced economy until 2060. Business investment has declined since Justin Trudeau came to power in 2014, while government spending and debt have doubled. Government workers are growing at a faster rate than the private sector, with Canadian taxpayers paying the salaries of 4.1 million government employees. Government-run healthcare has also collapsed, with long wait times for treatment. Canadians are increasingly dissatisfied with the size of government and high taxes, blaming Trudeau. There is hope for change in the upcoming federal election, but unions pose a challenge. Dark days are ahead for Canadians and potentially Americans as well.

We are going to Washington DC. Eight years ago, Trump promised to drain the swamp, referring to the Washington bureaucracy. However, under his presidency, government size increased, with more employees and nearly doubled spending, contributing to a soaring budget deficit. Programs like the farmers to families food box cost taxpayers billions. Despite claiming to empower women and cutting some spending, many initiatives only expanded the swamp. Once government programs are established, they are hard to eliminate, creating new lobbyists and constituencies. Trump acknowledged the swamp's depth but continues to promise to drain it if re-elected. Critics argue that increasing government jobs contradicts the goal of draining the swamp, suggesting privatization as a better solution. Ultimately, government control over many sectors leads to inefficiency, and real change requires reducing government involvement.

I'm demanding refunds for US taxpayers due to alarming financial mismanagement within our federal government. Information from the Department of Government Efficiency reveals that the number of federal employee millionaires has more than doubled since 2021, estimating around 60,000 currently. This is suspicious considering the average federal employee salary is $86,000 annually. Given this, plus a national debt exceeding $36 trillion and a deficit over $2 trillion, I question the trustworthiness of these agencies. With evidence of potential payroll fraud and a lack of oversight from elected officials, I believe taxpayers deserve a refund. Our money has been irresponsibly squandered. Since they have failed to act responsibly with our finances, we deserve our money back.

Employers incur significant costs, including matching CPP and EI contributions totaling $539 million annually. Operational expenses, such as office space and equipment, add another $720 million per year. Additionally, each employee is eligible for lifetime pension benefits averaging $32,800 after 20 years, which, when indexed for inflation, can exceed $61 billion over 15 years of retirement. Altogether, these expenses result in a taxpayer burden exceeding $250 billion over 20 years.

The people want an active government that doesn't waste money. To deliver change, we're reorganizing the government to save taxpayer dollars. We're cutting the federal bureaucracy by 100,000 positions through attrition and reducing administrative costs by 12%. Unproductive advisory commissions will be eliminated, and agencies can't create new ones without approval. Government regulations and procurement rules hurt the system, so we will cut waste, streamline bureaucracy, and change these rules to make government work better. This includes downsizing the government, improving customer service, and overhauling federal procurement and personnel systems. The goal is to make government work for the people, eliminate unnecessary programs, and reduce the federal workforce. We're committed to cutting spending and reducing the deficit to ensure a stronger economy for the future.

Milton Friedman once noted that government management often leads to shortages. This applies to the U.S. Postal Service, which was promised a $107 billion bailout in 2020 to achieve financial stability by 2031. However, losses have increased, with $6.5 billion lost in 2023 and projected losses of $9.5 billion in 2024. Instead of cutting costs like a private business would, the USPS has converted over 190,000 workers into higher-paid career roles, worsening its financial situation. Despite spending billions on electric vehicles and facility upgrades, service has declined. Congress has provided $120 billion in funding over four years, but with national debt exceeding $36 trillion, it's time for meaningful reform at the Postal Service.

To control pension costs, we need to limit the growth of our retirement income system. The government has already taken steps to reduce healthcare spending, and now we must do the same for pensions. Stephen Harper's government raised the retirement age from 65 to 67 without prior campaign promises, cutting benefits for seniors. The conservatives are likely to do the same in the future.

Justin Trudeau has significantly increased Canada's federal workforce to create an illusion of job growth amid economic challenges. This public sector hiring, which has added about 100,000 federal employees since he took office, allows the government to showcase employment gains. However, it imposes a substantial long-term financial burden on taxpayers, costing approximately $8.2 billion annually at an average salary of $82,000 per employee. This approach raises concerns about the sustainability of such growth and its impact on the economy.

Illegal immigrants cost taxpayers roughly $9,000 each, more than what we spend on Medicaid beneficiaries, vulnerable American citizens' healthcare, and military retirement benefits for veterans. This highlights the significant and unsustainable cost of the current border crisis, especially at the state and local levels. Translation: The cost of illegal immigrants to taxpayers is high, exceeding spending on healthcare for Americans and military benefits for veterans. This emphasizes the significant and unsustainable expense of the current border crisis, particularly at state and local levels.

Illegal immigration is costing American taxpayers $9,000 per immigrant, more than what is spent on Medicaid for vulnerable citizens. This fiscal irresponsibility needs to be addressed to prevent bankruptcy. State and local governments bear the brunt of the financial burden, leading to cuts in services or increased taxes for citizens.

Canada's federal bureaucracy is nearly twice the size of the US when adjusted for population. If Canada had a population of 345 million, it would employ about 3.1 million bureaucrats, compared to 1.8 million in the US. Notably, Canada has more federal government employees but significantly fewer military personnel. While the US focuses on defense and national security, Canada has shifted resources toward a growing administrative state, resulting in a large number of bureaucrats who are not contributing to economic productivity.

Who wants to live in Trudeau's Canada? High taxes, poor healthcare, job struggles, unaffordable housing, state-controlled media, censorship, rewarding laziness, unequal rights, biased hiring, and special privileges for certain groups. Who would want that?

Canada, with a population of 41 million, holds vast resources, including crucial energy and water. Recently, Canadians have expressed interest in the potential for an economic union with the U.S., which could enhance trade and security against external threats from countries like China and Russia. This union could involve a shared currency, unified tax systems, and streamlined travel, similar to the EU. However, many Canadians are hesitant about the current government, particularly Trudeau, leading negotiations for this deal. As a result, there's a desire for new leadership to initiate discussions on this promising opportunity.

The American people want effective government without wasted money. To deliver this, we're overhauling how government operates, beginning with a 25% reduction in White House staff and $10 million in savings. These steps will save taxpayers $9 billion. We're reducing the federal bureaucracy by at least 100,000 positions through attrition and cutting administrative costs by 12%. We're also eliminating unproductive advisory commissions. We aim to cut inessential spending and tackle the growing deficit and debt. Government programs should be efficient, and overhead must be reduced. These changes are crucial because debt consumes tax dollars and hinders private sector growth. We're also working to cut waste, streamline processes, improve customer service, and reform procurement and personnel systems. We need a government that works better, costs less, and treats taxpayers like customers.

As taxpayers, we're footing a $271 billion bill annually. Is it really too much to ask for some accountability on where that money goes, especially when these individuals are earning an average salary of $106,000 a year? Think about the single mom juggling two jobs or the dental hygienist tracking patients. They can justify their work. So, why is it such a burden for government employees to do the same? It's this attitude, this perceived arrogance that the American people are fed up with. It's our money, and we have every right to know how it's being spent.

More than 25% of the annual federal deficit is spent taking care of illegal immigrants. In 2023, the total outlay was $6.1 trillion, the total revenue was $4.4 trillion, and the federal deficit was $1.7 trillion. In 2023, $451 billion was spent taking care of illegal immigrants, which is 26.5% of the $1.7 trillion deficit. If the border was secure and there was control over who enters the country, 26.5% could be cut from the deficit. This is especially important because the money is borrowed, meaning interest will be paid on it. In 2023, $451 billion was borrowed to support illegals, and interest will be paid on that amount.

Since 2012, the government has wasted nearly $3 trillion in taxpayer money. Last year alone, improper payments totaled $247 billion. This includes payments to deceased individuals; over $530 million in pension payments went to dead people. Medicare improperly paid out $47 billion, and Medicaid, $81 billion. Fraudulent payments under the Biden administration reached $764 billion in just three years. These improper payments add up to $2.8 trillion – enough to cover five years of US foreign aid. This amounts to $850 per person in the country.

Canada needs a change in leadership, as the current situation is dire. The capital flight and decline in GDP per capita over the past eight and a half years are attributed to Trudeau's policies. His actions have severely harmed the country, and recovery will take decades. It's crucial for him to step down, as even his own party is urging him to leave. The focus now should be on fixing the country and moving forward.

Justin Trudeau claims he doesn't need to explain how he will fund his promises, suggesting that the budget will balance itself. However, he has now acknowledged that he will run a modest deficit for three years, which he describes as so small it’s barely noticeable. This modest deficit is projected to be around $10 billion each year. We've seen similar situations before, particularly in Ontario, where modest deficits have led to significant financial issues.

We're streamlining the federal bureaucracy, aiming to reduce the workforce. We found a surprising bottleneck: the retirement process. Currently, the maximum number of retirements per month is capped at 10,000 due to a completely manual, paper-based system. The paperwork is stored in a 1950s-era limestone mine, and the speed of the mine shaft elevator limits processing. This antiquated system employs thousands of people whose efforts could be far better utilized elsewhere. The situation is absurd; we need to modernize this process immediately. Imagine the increased efficiency and contribution to the country's goods and services if these employees were redeployed.

The procurement watchdog revealed that 76% of contractors involved in Trudeau's $54 million ArriveCAN app did no work at all. This includes the IT firm GC Strategies, which received $11 million. Trudeau's government has spent $1 billion on outside consultants, costing each Canadian family around $1,400. GC Strategies alone has received over $60 million in government contracts since 2017. This is just the beginning of the corruption and waste within Trudeau's government. Canadians are struggling while insiders in Ottawa profit. The procurement ombudsman's report exposes the lack of work done by contractors, and we await the auditor general's findings. We will continue to investigate and expose the corruption in Trudeau's government. Share this video to help us uncover the truth.

Reckless growth in government is a systemic failure, resembling an economic tumor. Despite a growing workforce, Canadians face poor service delivery, inefficiencies, and wasteful spending. Instead of fostering innovation or addressing urgent national challenges, the administration has focused on expanding bureaucracy to artificially boost economic metrics. The financial burden on taxpayers is significant, but the opportunity cost may be even greater. Every dollar spent on this bloated bureaucracy is a dollar not invested in meaningful solutions for Canada's pressing issues. A leaner, more efficient public service is essential for safeguarding Canada's economic future.

It seems odd that many people in the bureaucracy with salaries of a few hundred thousand dollars somehow accrue tens of millions of dollars in net worth while in their positions. We're curious where this wealth comes from. Maybe they're good at investing, and we should seek their advice. But mysteriously, they get wealthy, and we don't know why. The reality is that they're likely getting wealthy at the taxpayer's expense, and that's the honest truth.
