January 1, Trump’s Promise to Drain the Swamp Targets Overfunded Foreign Aid Empire

Wyatt’s Take

• One former NGO executive saw her yearly earnings potential drop from $272,000 to $19 an hour.
• The private sector has little use for the confusing titles and credentialed busywork found in the federal bureaucracy.
• Middle Americans are drowning in debt while the coastal elite demands sympathy for losing their subsidized lifestyles.

A recent profile of former government-funded elites proves exactly why the swamp needs a permanent drain. One high-ranking vice president at a USAID-funded nonprofit pulled in $272,000 annually before her department was cut.

When the taxpayer money dried up, her private-market value plummeted to a measly nineteen dollars an hour at a spice shop. This massive gap between her government salary and her actual skill set is a direct tax on every working family in Middle America.

Our national debt is approaching $40 trillion because we have been funding an administrative class that produces nothing of value. While truckers and farmers work double shifts to survive, these bureaucrats lived in a government-funded aquarium protected from the real world.

These people spent years lecturing the heartland while living off our hard-earned money. Now that the gravy train has jumped the tracks, they are finally learning what the rest of us have known forever: competence is the only currency that matters.

Heartland values are built on earning your keep and providing real value to your community. When we see bureaucrats making six figures for work the market deems worthless, it confirms that the system is rigged against the honest American worker.
