Coping with Financial Insecurity Caused by Government

A lot of us learned this past month that our lives are not as financially secure as we believed. Today's news and emails are buzzing with fears of individuals facing strongly worded government demands to pay back money that they never received. Small business farmers in our South Jersey region had spring contract payments cancelled, relatives arrested, and employees missing. Other Cumberland County, Salem County, and Camden County NJ businesses had contracts cancelled and wonder if they need to worry about their own business closing ahead. Government employees and employees of agencies serving government have been fired with no immediate job prospects. tonynovak.com/coping-with-fina

Mr. Musk now finds himself spearheading a radical takeover of the federal bureaucracy, empowered by President Trump in ways that have no historical parallel for an unelected adviser.

Then he adds,

"I wanted to state it clearly. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are if not hitting the gas than becoming more publicly aggressive and hostile just as a public backlash of great breadth appears to be forming and members of Congress are becoming skittish. This is a highly combustible collision in the making."

This is the kind of men they are. Rather than learning from mistakes, they bear down on aggression.

In a series of posting at his TPM site, Josh Marshall comments on the harassment memo Musk sent all federal workers yesterday, telling them they must justify their employment by reporting what they accomplished in the last week. Marshall thinks that Musk "has gotten a bit over his skis finally" with this memo, which even pro-Trump supervisors are telling employees to ignore.
