“The poorest way to face life, is to face it with a sneer.
There are many men who feel a kind of twisted pride in cynicism.”
~ Teddy Roosevelt in his speech ‘The Man in the Arena’

When it comes to hope for the American economy, the past little while I’ve been a bit cynical…
With $36 Trillion in debt and a bill of over $1 Trillion in debt service cost, it’s easy to see why.
There are few policies, aside from “taking a chainsaw to the bureaucracy” which can be implemented that will actually make any positive changes.
Too many times have promises been made, and fulfillment of those promises been left empty.
It’s like a movie you’ve seen over, and over again.
And that makes it nothing to be proud of when it comes to “predicting” the future. Especially, in politics.
But all in all, you’ve got to give Trump credit for the future he’s creating.
Take a look at the chances he’s taking to get bi-partisan approval for reduction of government spending.
Axios reports:
The most chaotic new committee in Congress
“The House subcommittee overseeing President Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is stacked with some of the most outspoken and ideological lawmakers in both parties, Axios has learned……Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), whose mere presence on a committee is enough to cause upheaval, will be chairing Oversight’s DOGE subcommittee……Led by Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.), the list features big-name progressive Reps. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) and Greg Casar (D-Texas), the chair of the CPC.Between the lines: This is the kind of committee you put together when you’re trying to stage the Capitol Hill equivalent of bare-knuckle brawls.”
Yes, Trump appointed the most likely committee to agree on settling matters via cage fight.
If anything, it’s bound to be entertaining.
Some of the most outspoken republicans and democrats in congress on the same committee will soon be presented with the same hard-hitting truth.
Truth that will hopefully inspire some kind of guilt.
If not, impending doom…
Like I’ve been saying changes need to be made.
And Trump knows that.
That’s why you have to give Donald Trump credit.
Despite what you think of him, he’s going to have his work cut out for him.
It’s going to be a tumultuous four years of hard, stressful, and predictably volatile changes.
And that puts Trump is in the position of what Teddy Roosevelt describes as ‘The Man in the Arena.’
“The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly, who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming, but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions;
who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
You think Trump is up to the task?
If he isn’t, maybe he’s the one to fail well in his own sweat and blood for all to see… the Man in the Arena.
