New Jersey's Democrat Governor Mikie Sherrill is having a complete meltdown over President Trump's decision to freeze funding for the massively overpriced Gateway Tunnel project, calling it an "illegal attack" on her state. But what she's really upset about? Trump is doing exactly what he promised – stopping wasteful government spending and demanding accountability.
The $16 billion boondoggle has been a favorite pet project of East Coast Democrats for years, with virtually no oversight on where taxpayer dollars actually go. Now Sherrill is claiming 100,000 jobs are at risk, using fear tactics to pressure Trump into rubber-stamping another blank check to Democrat-controlled construction projects.
Trump's DOGE Efficiency in Action
This is exactly the kind of government waste that Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency was created to eliminate. While Democrats scream about "infrastructure," they never explain why these projects always cost 10 times more than projected and take twice as long to complete.
"Every American should be asking why a tunnel project costs $16 billion and whether Democrats can actually deliver results instead of just spending money," a senior administration official told reporters.
Sherrill's hysterics prove she's more concerned about protecting Democrat slush funds than actually creating jobs for working Americans. If this project is so critical, why hasn't it been completed after years of funding and planning under previous administrations?
The Gateway Tunnel has become a symbol of everything wrong with government infrastructure spending – endless delays, cost overruns, and zero accountability. Trump's freeze forces Democrats to actually justify their spending instead of just demanding more taxpayer money.
Patriots across America are watching this showdown closely. Will Trump hold the line against wasteful spending, or will Democrats successfully pressure him into funding another overpriced project? The answer will show whether the DOGE efficiency revolution is real or just another Washington talking point.
