The current Musk/Trump dismantling of various government agencies is about as efficient as doing brain surgery with a grossly uncaring chainsaw. The not-so-hidden agenda is greedy pay-to-play politics, where unbridled compulsion demands more, more, more.

Stripped of government oversight, the international piggy banks are now in overdrive. Thus the jumbo jet gift to President Donald Trump is just the tip of an iceberg of real estate and Bitcoin deals benefiting Trump at America's expense.

As a lifelong business owner, I've partnered with government to problem-solve using a cooperative, win-win approach. Typically, the public sector moves more slowly because of all the interest groups involved, so private enterprise must be patient because Rome didn't get built in a day. However, "We the People” means all the people, not just the greedy egos gaming the system.
