When you see the depth of integration of critical race theory and its offshoot, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), you realize how close we were to losing our country. Talk about the end of democracy! The listing of contracts now cancelled, that were devoted to “educating” our teachers, administrators and government workers is staggering. (See doge.gov) I suspect that there are tenacles yet to be uncovered and some have taken root requiring diligence to make sure that weed does not grow or return.
With all the gnashing of teeth on the left, you had to know that there was much to lose and right they were. Their whole effort of inculcating our society with the divisiveness of DEI is being shuttered. Apparently, the democrats were all in and now that it is being destroyed, so is their one plan. With no plan B, they are resorting to a “your mother wears combat boots” arguments.
Making some of the DOGE’s work stick will show the true colors of our supposed conservative republicans. As I wrote many months ago, it’s all fun and games until you’re talking their sacred cows. Those nasty little earmarks have a way of showing up at the most inopportune times. Even if our esteemed congressmen and women don’t follow through on making these “adjustments” permanent, there should be substantial savings sufficient to offset at least a sizable portion of the expected tax policies. Watch the red ink flow when we get to that fork in the road.
At least for now, there is a bending of the curve in a positive direction rather than a deep dive on our way to oblivion.
