Deep State: Progressives Started the Mess

“The USAID story is way bigger than most people realize. It’s not just that they funded Politico, NY Times, etc., but then the articles in those publications were used as sources all over CNN, NBC News, etc. to further push their agenda. This is how they laundered their lies.” —Dave Rubin, Rubin Report

President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and DOGE Chair Elon Musk, along with many America First Patriots, are working overtime to rid our country of a mess progressives started in the early 20th Century. 

In 1913, Congress passed the 16th amendment that imposed a federal income tax. This gave the federal government more money and they happily spent it. 

In 1900, there were six government agencies. Today there are 15, and in the 2oth century those know known as Progressives happily created as many as they could.  Here they are and the year they were established—along with department changes: 

1. 1789 Department of State 1789 Department of Treasury 
2. 1789 Department of War (in 1947 merged with Department of Defense) 
3. 1789 Attorney General (in 1870, merged with Department of Justice) 
4. 1798 Department of Navy (in 1947 merged with Department of Defense) 
5. 1829 Postmaster General (privatized in 1970) 
6. 1849 Department of the Interior 1862 Department of Agriculture 
7. 1903 Department of Commerce and Labor (split into two in 1913) 
8. 1913 Department of Commerce 
9. 1913 Department of Labor 
10. 1953 Department of Health, Education and Welfare (in 1980, became the Department of Health and Human Services) 
11. 1965 Department of Housing and Urban Development 
12. 1966 Department of Transportation 1977 Department of Energy 
13. 1979 Department of Education 
14. 1989 Department of Veterans’ Affairs 
15. 2002 Department of Homeland Security 

Now consider all the federal programs these agencies produce. Realizing most Americans do not get into the details of every program, progressives come up with appealing names such as New Deal, Great Society and Green New Deal. Or they use symbolism such as the War on Poverty or War on Hunger. After all, who doesn’t want to win a war on poverty or hunger? Click here to learn more about each department.
