Bill O'Reilly here, and I'm warming up. Stand by for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition.
On this Tuesday, welcome to the American Party.
Elon Musk is backing a third political organization in the USA, and he has a cash to do it.
The new party is decidedly all about money, cutting back the massive spending coming out of Washington.
Musk is correct when he says politicians use tax dollars to amass power.
just look at Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski, who voted for the big bill only because the
Republicans earmarked big cash for her constituents. That stuff happens all the time. They call it
back room deals. Elon Musk hates that and believes he can reform the decades-old system
by energizing a new political movement. The trouble is he will not succeed. The reason
reason is easy. Most voters want, and many actually need financial help from the feds. Some of that's
fair. Taxpayers fund Social Security and Medicare, so it's only right. The contract remains in
place. Medicaid, however, is essentially a charity. But most voters are okay with the safety net.
So where exactly is Elon going? Yes, optional spending should be a reform target, but almost every
Democrat opposes that. Republicans generally support more responsible spending, but as we see with
Red State Alaska, they'll take the money. It is very expensive to live in America. Taxes are
everywhere on everything. Many citizens reach retirement facing acute budget problems. Most don't
want to lose what financial protection they have. And Elon Musk is not going to change that.
