Government payroll soars as public workers rise to millions
The piece argues six billion dollars yearly goes to more than 4.5 million public employees across federal state county and local bodies. It notes a 43 percent rise in the last decade and calls the payroll excessive, claiming public workers do not add to national income and behave as slothful servants while private industry would avoid such expansion.
Speaking softly about war while unprepared for defense
The piece argues it will take years to build key military capabilities and months to acquire weapons. It urges shifting from big talk to grim prep, noting enemies know America’s weakness while the public remains unaware. The call is for louder prep and quieter politics.
