New Jersey's Democrat Governor Mikie Sherrill is having a complete meltdown after President Trump froze $16 billion in federal funding for the massively over-budget Gateway Tunnel project, hysterically calling the Commander-in-Chief's fiscally responsible decision an 'illegal attack' on her state.
But here's what Sherrill and her Democrat allies don't want you to know: this is exactly the kind of government waste and inefficiency that President Trump promised to eliminate when he put Elon Musk in charge of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
The Gateway Tunnel, a pet project of the Biden regime, has been plagued by cost overruns, delays, and the typical bureaucratic incompetence that Americans are sick and tired of funding with their hard-earned tax dollars. While Sherrill claims 100,000 jobs are at risk, she conveniently ignores how many jobs could be created with $16 billion spent on actually productive infrastructure projects.
Democrats Put Politics Over People
Instead of working with the Trump administration to find a more efficient solution, Sherrill immediately ran to the liberal media to throw her tantrum and demand the restoration of funding for what amounts to another government boondoggle.
This is exactly why Americans voted for Trump - to drain the swamp and stop the endless flow of taxpayer money into projects that benefit political cronies more than working families.
President Trump's funding freeze sends a clear message: the days of blank checks for bloated, inefficient government projects are over. Every dollar of taxpayer money will be scrutinized, and projects will actually have to prove their worth.
While Democrats like Sherrill cry 'illegal attack,' patriots across America are celebrating a president who finally has the courage to say 'no' to wasteful spending. This is what draining the swamp looks like in action.
The question isn't whether Trump's move is legal - it absolutely is. The real question is: how many more billions in government waste will the Trump-Vance administration save American taxpayers?
