Liberals keep proving just how out of touch they really are, and nowhere was that more clear than during a recent TV panel where a CNN commentator wildly blamed a government efficiency office for shutting down diners. Yes, diners — those small-town, hardworking American mom-and-pop spots — were declared casualties of Washington’s latest “budget cuts” by an utterly unhinged liberal mouthpiece. The audacity to pin everyday struggles of local diners on a Trump-ordered government task force dedicated to slicing wasteful spending is not just laughable — it’s downright absurd.
Here’s what really happened: the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a smart move by President Trump, has identified nearly $200 billion in taxpayer savings by cutting unnecessary federal contracts, leases, and grants. This isn’t some shadowy, job-crushing boogeyman. It’s a sober effort to drain the swamp and keep bureaucratic bloat from bleeding the American people dry. Yet, this sad excuse for a CNN panelist tried to turn efficiency and fiscal responsibility into a boogeyman harming diner waitresses. The disconnect between urban leftist elites and real America couldn’t be more glaring.
What’s truly stunning is the shamelessness of this liberal narrative. They argue that small businesses are closing because of “erratic tariffs” and “job cuts” linked to a government cleanup task force. Meanwhile, the truth is that left-wing policies — like lockdowns, soaring gas prices, and anti-energy regulations — hammer small business owners far worse than anything Washington-saving dogcatchers could ever do. If anything, Trump’s focus on efficiency saved taxpayer dollars that could be better spent empowering local economies, not strangling them.
The absurdity peaked when the panelist tried to teach a former Trump adviser about how cutting federal jobs supposedly trickles down to shutter diners. It was a spectacle of leftist fantasy meeting hard reality. The truth is the American working class isn’t suffering because government bureaucrats did their job; they’re suffering because liberal policies intentionally stifle growth and punish success. Blaming a task force for “cutting diners” only exposes the desperation of the left to find scapegoats rather than confront the real causes of economic pain.
This episode is yet another reminder that the left lives in a fantasy world where every fiscal reform is a human tragedy, and no government spending is ever wasted. Meanwhile, conservatives push for accountability, efficiency, and economic freedom. If you want diners and small towns to thrive, stop demonizing efforts to make government honest and restrained. Maybe instead of blaming DOGE for diners closing, liberals should look in the mirror and ask how their failed policies keep sinking Main Street America.
