The United States is no longer a stable, reliable country. Because we are switching from siding with our military allies to siding with Russia, NATO and other countries are deciding to wean off US military equipment. This is $238 billion per year of sales, now in jeopardy. These countries will just switch to their own production instead.
Because we have started to punish instead of embrace our economic trading partners, they have begun boycotting and putting tariffs on our products.
Because we no longer treat foreigners in our country with respect and stable rules, tourists and potential immigrants have started to go elsewhere.
Because federal employees are being fired without notice and without cause, it will be much more difficult to find qualified, experienced individuals to fill important positions in our government.
Because our current economic planning is so haphazard and opaque, businesses and corporations cannot plan ahead with proper information, because that information no longer exists.
Because US citizens have no way of knowing what may be cut by DOGE next – Medicaid? Medicare? Social Security? - there is real fear for the immediate future by many over whether they will even be able to afford food and rent.
The US Constitution explains in its own words what the purpose of our government is: “in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.” The Trump Administration is taking us into Opposite Land, turning us against each other, demolishing Justice, causing domestic turmoil, endangering our defense, dismantling the general Welfare, and tossing away any hope for the Blessings of Liberty, for ourselves and our children.
The Constitution split power in the federal government into Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches. The Executive is actively attempting to curtail the powers of the Legislative and Judicial. Congress, at least for now, has Constitutional powers to limit this power grab and limit the damage that DOGE's “move fast and break things” actions are doing to us.The Judicial branch has oversight that could limit this carnage as well. Now we wait to see how wise our Founding Fathers were.
