New Jersey's liberal Democrat Governor Mikie Sherrill is having an absolute meltdown over President Trump's much-needed federal spending freeze, desperately crying that halting $16 billion in Gateway Tunnel funding amounts to an 'illegal attack' on her state.
The hysterics from Sherrill perfectly illustrate why Trump won a decisive mandate to drain the swamp and end wasteful government spending. Instead of applauding fiscal responsibility, this Democrat politician is throwing a tantrum because her pet project might actually face scrutiny.
Sherrill claims 100,000 jobs are at risk, but patriots know this is the same fear-mongering Democrats always use when their bloated spending schemes get challenged. Where was this concern for American workers when the Biden regime was shipping jobs overseas and funding Ukraine's government while our infrastructure crumbled?
Trump's Efficiency Agenda Triggering Liberal Panic
This meltdown is exactly what Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was created to address. For too long, federal bureaucrats have rubber-stamped massive spending projects without proper oversight or accountability to taxpayers.
The Gateway Tunnel project has been a money pit for years, with costs ballooning and timelines constantly shifting. Now that President Trump is demanding actual fiscal responsibility, Democrats like Sherrill are screaming 'illegal attack' instead of providing transparency about where these billions would actually go.
'This is what draining the swamp looks like - and the establishment creatures don't like it one bit.'
President Trump campaigned on ending wasteful spending and making government work for the American people, not connected contractors and political cronies. Every dollar spent on questionable projects like this is a dollar taken from hardworking taxpayers who are struggling with inflation and economic uncertainty.
Sherrill and her fellow Democrats had eight years under Obama and four years under Biden to get this project right. Instead, they created another bureaucratic nightmare that exists primarily to enrich the right people while delivering little value to Americans.
The real question patriots should be asking: If this tunnel is so critical, why can't New Jersey fund it themselves instead of demanding federal taxpayers foot the bill for their local infrastructure? Trump's freeze gives Congress time to ask these tough questions that swamp creatures like Sherrill clearly don't want answered.
