Many President have tried to bring spending, entitlements, waste, fraud, corruption, malfeasance, and misfeasance under control: President Reagan cut the Budget by $2 Trillion dollars while Bill Clinton cut 377,000 Employees, to name just two examples.But somehow it always seems Bureaucracy is far more clever at doing what it does best: Infection, expansion, and self-preservation, akin to a dangerous virus.
"A shocking crime was committed on the unscrupulous initiative of few individuals, with the blessing of more, and amid the passive acquiescence of all."During Joe Biden's 4 years as president he's increased America's national debt by $11.6 TRILLION dollars, to a staggering $36.5 TRILLION dollars: Or, about $107,500 of debt for every single person living in America. In 2024 the interest payment on the debt was $1.2 TRILLION, almost 50% higher than America's entire 2024 military budget of $842 Billion. Crushing, unsustainable debt is a big reason why the Ancient Roman Empire collapsed.

If this has you frustrated and stressed here's one way to relieve some of it: Pretend you're helping DOGE root out waste, corruption, and fraud from America's huge budget and outrageous deficit by playing "DOGE-the-Budget"! It's the classic arcade game "Whac-a-Mole", but with a twist: Instead of bonking bothersome moles as they randomly emerge from their tunnels you take aim at just a few of the ways the Federal Government is wasting American's hard-earned Taxpayer money.
Just select the speed and duration of the game, then click or touch whatever pops up on the screen to earn points! You could see the Broken Piggy Bank, Corrupt Politician, Shady Bureaucrat, Bribe Suitcase, the Money Laundering Machine, Mister Moneybag, and more. But, act fast, the more you hit the higher your score!
And while you're playing, remember that every dollar of spending DOGE identifies as wasteful, inefficient, or corrupt could translate to savings for Americans, and perhaps even a lower deficit, a more efficient budget, and a tax break.
(Oh, if you've played the game at the fastest speed and the longest time on your cellphone let me know: I find it impossible play it at that speed!)
DOGE-the-Budget!

It's said more people have been killed in the name of organized Religion - or the lack of it - than from any other cause known to mankind. And if we ultimately discover that Hamas' invasion of Israel, planned after Joe Biden inauguration, used the $6 BILLION ransom Joe Biden to Iran and with arms surrendered to the Taliban by Joe Biden during his disastrous retreat from Afghanistan Biden, a self-proclaimed Catholic who supports abortion, will add to that gruesome saying.
