The Department of Government Efficiency isn’t really a department, it’s a commission which will issue a report on how the government can cut spending. Just the thought of that has leftists, including NY Times columnist Michelle Goldberg in an uproar. Her column today is about the return of Republican interest in reigning in the size of government, something she detects via Trump’s love of Argentine president Javier Milei.
Donald Trump has called Milei his “favorite president,” and Milei was the first foreign leader to visit him at Mar-a-Lago after his victory. Last week, the Conservative Political Action Conference, which has increasingly sought to build a global network of right-wing activists and politicians, held its first-ever conference in Buenos Aires. Lara Trump, the president-elect’s daughter-in-law, gave a speech lauding Milei’s relentless budget-slashing, and vowed that, with help from Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s Department of Government Efficiency, “we’re going to do the same thing in the United States.”…
In the American right’s admiration for Milei, you can see the rebirth of old-fashioned small-government conservatism in feral tech-bro form.
Why is Milei bad? Because he’s succeeded in bringing down inflation.
Since taking office a year ago amid devastating hyperinflation, he’s undertaken a campaign of economic shock therapy, slashing government spending by around 30 percent. In doing so, as Jon Lee Anderson wrote in a recent New Yorker profile, he’s changed “the compact between the Argentinian state and its citizens — cutting cost-of-living increases to pensioners, funding for education, and supplies for soup kitchens in poor neighborhoods.” In some ways, Milei is succeeding; inflation has plummeted. But the poverty rate rose by around 11 points during his first six months in office, to almost 53 percent, and the country has fallen into a recession.
This is where I start tearing my remaining hair out as I’m reading. Inflation was 25% per month when Milei took office last December. Supermarkets were forced to increasing prices on products every single day to keep up with it. As of October, less than a year later, monthly inflation had dropped to 2.7 percent. That’s still not great but compared to where he started it’s a world of difference.
The left calls efforts to live within your means austerity as if it were a four-letter word. They are fine with government spending, even if it’s money that has to be borrowed year after year. If you think of it in terms of your own budget it’s the equivalent of someone racking up debts and constantly opening new credit cards to keep the gravy train going. As long as the government can print money, they can’t really go broke so why worry about it.
What Milei has done is cut up the credit cards and cut spending. Of course that’s painful but what’s the alternative? […]

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
