Now that is taking care of business.
While the mainstream media has steadily been going crazy over DOGE, it seems that more than one Republican has seen through the noise and recognized the value of cutting back on governmental waste.
After all, unlike publicly traded companies, or really any company reliant on actual profits, the government has had little incentive to reduce waste when it can merely raise taxes on citizens.
Heck, the government does not even need to “innovate” to remain competitive in the same way that many companies do … which is one of the major reasons why substantial waste has accumulated.
However, courtesy of political leaders who actually give a fig about the nation’s future, it is clear that the intentions underlying DOGE are sound, even if the methods of the leading face of DOGE can appear questionable.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, however, has seen the bigger picture with DOGE, just as he saw the bigger picture with offering an array of COVID treatment options.
Which is exactly why DeSantis just made a rather proud tweet announcing the return of federal funds to the federal government.
And this return is emerging from a state with no income tax, not to mention a state currently contemplating the possibility of getting rid of property tax entirely.
“For years, Florida has been trying to return federal funds to the federal government due to the ideological strings attached by the Biden Administration – but they couldn’t even figure out how to accept it. Today, I met with @elonmusk and the DOGE team, and we got this done in the same day. Other states should follow Florida in supporting DOGE’s efforts!” DeSantis tweeted.
Without a doubt. Especially as DeSantis returned nearly $900M in excessive funding to the federal government, as announced in DeSantis’s tweet as well.
Accompanying DeSantis’s tweet was a succinctly stated memorandum – “Returning Federal Taxpayer Dollars” – in which the governor outlined the specifics of one of the nation’s greatest state-level DOGE victories.
“At the direction of Governor DeSantis … the State of Florida is formally returning $878,112,000.00 in taxpayer dollars to the federal government as part of DOGE’s efforts. The specifics are below. We will also continue to identify other unused of surplus federal funding granted to Florida and determine if further refunds can be made,” the official memorandum stated.
Excellent future objectives.
And DeSantis was sure to conclude on a rather telling point.
“We hope our actions serve as a model for other states to follow,” the memorandum concluded.
One state could certainly use that memo – the formerly golden state of California.
Indeed, despite having enormous income tax, sales tax, and pretty much every other tax that one can think of, California is apparently still running in the red.
Thus, rather than returning money to the federal government, California is demanding more money from the federal government.
And here’s the kicked: A huge reason underlying the demand includes the state’s apparent insistence on continuing to fund illegal migrants.
Indeed, when asked by KRCA whether or not the state’s inability to pay for varied residents’ medical services was due to illegal migrants using the system, Newsom was forced to admit the truth. At least in part.
“That’s partial,” Newsom huffed.
Tellingly, Newsom failed to go into any specific details whatsoever. So, seems that Newsom gave his rather typical “partial” response as well.
In remarks to Fox News Digital, Newsom spokesperson Izzy Gardon actually had the gall to whine about “tough fiscal choices.”
“With tough fiscal choices ahead, Governor Newsom, jointly with Pro Tem McGuire and Speaker Rivas, will evaluate proposals to rein in long-term spending – including in Medi-Cal – while working to protect the core health and social services Californians rely on,” Gardon remarked.
Is that so? Seems that the easiest “fiscal choice” would be terminating the asinine concept of sanctuary cities entirely, but that would be far too logical.
Not to mention legal.
Fortunately, more than one Californian has clearly had it, in particular Californians sane enough to be publicly conservative.
As reported by KRCA, Assemblyman Carl DeMaio, a Republican from Riverside, is clearly put out by Newsom’s shameless giveaway of taxpayer funds.
“We must immediately rescind the coverage to illegal immigrants in the state of California, we simply can’t afford it … It’s not just put the health coverage of poor Californians – elderly, disabled, young children – at risk because California politicians want to give handouts to people who aren’t even citizens,” DeMaio declared.
Sadly, it seems that California is counting on the exponential birth rates of more than one illegal to fill its “base” in the future.
Unfortunately, it’s demanding federal taxpayer dollars – paid by all Americans – to do so.
Imagine how much differently this nation would run, if it were run by leaders like DeSantis …
