By Andrew Zuelke, Constitution Party of
leader Elon Musk is call- ing for returning “20% of DOGE’s targeted $2 tril- lion in savings to the 79 million taxpaying house- holds,” resulting in about $5,000 in tax returns per household. Do not get me wrong; I like getting a tax rebate as much as all of you. I cer- tainly agree that anytime you get a tax refund, that means the government took too much from you and you overpaid in taxes. No, I am suggesting that if we save 2 trillion dollars of
Wisconsin May 2025 PART 2 — THE NATIONAL DEBT Due to the irresponsibil- ity and selfishness of both Democrats and Republi- cans past and present in Congress, our nation’s
debt is currently 36+ trillion dollars and climbing. Net interest payments on this crip- pling debt, according to the Congressional Budget Office, if nothing changes, will total $13.8 trillion over the next decade! Both par- ties knew we were spending money America did not have and both parties in Congress deficit spent anyway, year after year, decade after decade. Neither major party can feign ig- norance and say, “How could anyone have foreseen this nation’s debt growing so large?” No, I’m sorry, Dems and Reps, that won’t work. Also, with the work President Trump is doing on tariffs to level the playing field and open other nations’ markets to American goods, if he is successful, this will go far to lowering our trade deficits and reducing our national debt. Of course, that assumes that any savings from reducing our trade deficits actually goes toward the national debt. According to a Forbes.com article dated Feb. 19, DOGE
net nominees and picks to lead his America first legislation.” Then she added, “And so I said it repeatedly from this podium, I ad- dressed it at the beginning of my remarks, we expect all Republicans to vote, to stay tough and strong, vote for President Trump’s nomi- nees, so we can get to work, and continue to work very hard to implement this President’s agenda.” Any Republican and all Republicans? Is Leavitt suggesting every single one of President Trump’s nominees be rubber-stamped and pushed through no matter what? Is she, a hired employee, demanding elected senators “fall in line” and vote a certain way on every single issue? Well, then, it sounds like she is suggesting we forget about the Senate’s Article 2: Section 2, Clause 2 advice and consent ob- ligation, that GOP Senators say, “We are not going to hold committee hearings and allow Senators to question Trump nominees. We are going straight to a vote.” Friends, we didn’t just escape four years of being told by addle-minded, partisan hack Joe Biden that we can’t have dissenting voices on issues leftists told us are “settled” (COVID vac- cines, climate change, hate speech is not “real” speech and should be banned, etc.) only to move over into a new president whose subor- dinates are telling fellow party members (and us?) that we must all agree and get behind this president. No, we do not want to become like the Democrat Party which lectures us on de- fending democracy and the democratic will of the people when Dem leaders did not allow their members to vote for a nominee; they just anointed Harris for president. Think back to when Barack Obama was president. If you criticized him, especially if you were white, you were accused of being a racist who just “wanted a black man to fail.” So, now, if we have a criticism of President Trump, does that mean we do not want to “make America great again” and we want America to fail? Do we get to disagree with President Trump on anything without having our motives – or our love of country – ques- tioned? Sorry, Caroline, but We the People will not apologize for invoking our inalienable 1st Amendment rights to “redress the government for grievances” and “free speech” when we feel our leaders are in error. If we have a criticism of the president, we will speak out. The people we elected to Congress do not work for the President of the United States; Congressmen are supposed to answer to us. Donald Trump won an election; this makes him a politician. We have the right to critique our employee and his performance while on the job. ConstitutionPartyOfWisconsin.com (608) 561-7996
waste, fraud, and abuse, we put that toward the national debt. Shouldn’t President Trump veto any deficit budgets, signing only budgets in balance with a surplus sufficiently large enough to get us out ahead of interest pay- ments on the debt? Again, I am just asking. If more revenue does come in to the govern- ment but deficit spending continues, it will take longer to pay off the debt because of con- tinued interest. Also, like other presidents be- fore him, in a March 11 article from The Hill, President Trump said he would “not cut Social Security or Medicare…” We can cut all the waste, fraud, and abuse DOGE can track
down, but, if we are still deficit spending and are not addressing the largest spending programs in the federal budget (defense, Medicare, Social Secu- rity), it will not be enough to get us out from under this debt. Presidents and Con- gressmen past and present knew this. PART THREE – RUB- BER STAMPING TRUMP APPOINTEES In a February 12 press conference, Car- oline Leavitt was asked by a reporter, “How does the administra- tion view Senator Mc- Connell? Can he be a partner in the Presi- dent’s legislative agenda? Are you disap- pointed that he [Mc- Connell] voted against not only Tulsi Gabbard but Pete Hegseth to be Defense Secretary?” McConnell was the lone no-vote on the Re- publican side. Now, like all of you, I am no fan of RINO Mc- Connell. I also know he hates Trump and voted NO on his nominees to spite him, but Leavitt’s reply was disturbing and what I would ex- pect to hear from a left- ist. She said, “I think we’re greatly disap- pointed in any Republi- can who chooses willfully to vote against the President’s excep- tionally qualified cabi-
