The Democrats and Republicans who constitute our government are totally irresponsible with the profligate federal spending levels that both national parties have created and which both national parties choose to ignore. You might prefer the spending priorities of one party over the other, but any honest examination will reveal that both are equally guilty when it comes to federal fiscal insanity. Oh they talk the talk; but will not walk the walk. Since 2000, both parties have simultaneously held the White House and controlled both Houses of Congress for periods of time. Yet when presented with that opportunity to dictate federal spending policies, they failed to deal honestly with our burgeoning federal debt.
Also
beyond doubt is the fact that the Biden/Harris Administration has taken federal
spending to levels heretofore unseen. With total disregard for the cost that will
inevitably be thrust upon future generations, Joe Biden and his Democrat
faithful have tirelessly sought old, new, and highly creative ways to spend
your tax dollars. Even now, as his VP
campaigns to hold the Executive Branch of government for his party and he
finishes out his term as a lame duck, Biden stubbornly comes up with yet another
student loan forgiveness giveaway (links
below)…after the Supreme Court of the United States and our court system
has repeatedly told him he does not have
the authority to do so.
The
plain and simple truth is that both
parties have surrendered to the irresistible temptation of spending federal
taxes in ways that panders to their loyal voters. They have lost any semblance of moderation or
accountability in spending; they have continued their push to create new and
creative ways to get more of your earnings into the federal largess; and they
have shamefully quit talking about the subject of federal debt, excessive
federal spending, and any form of responsible budgetary legislation. When it comes
to national politics, spending is fun; responsible budgeting not so much.
The
facts are plain. The problem with excessive
federal spending…which leads to federal budget deficits…which leads to astronomical federal debt…is NOT the
amount of tax revenue that the government is receiving. Under the Biden/Harris Administration, record
levels of income have been received. The
problem IS that the increases in federal spending are far outpacing the
increases in federal tax revenue. It is
NOT that the rich don’t pay their fair share; it is NOT that corporations are
overrun with greed and pursuit of profit; it is NOT that that the tax code is
somehow grossly out of whack. The
explanation is that our government cannot control its spending jones and will
not zip up the federal coffers to control that lustful spending urge. Here is the reality…

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are both guilty as sin for promising increased federal spending in an effort to appeal to potential voters. If our nation is to return to some semblance of responsible fiscal behavior...we must prioritize all federal spending, reduce some federal spending, and eliminate other federal spending. We cannot continue to spend a large percentage of our Gross Domestic Product on federal debt interest; that is simply throwing money down a hole. It CAN be done.
Remember… America actually had a BALANCED federal
budget as recently as the mid-1990s.

Election
Interference
is very real.
The fact is that most of it is discovered in a reactive fashion and that
discovery occurs too late to rectify its damages and effects…the horses have
left the barn. Was the 2020 election stolen?
Not likely, but we will never know and it is pointless to continue that
argument. What is for certain is that
some strange ish took place in that covid-infested political contest and there
is no reason to expect that it won’t be tried again this time around. If you KNOW
something is coming and you fail to PREPARE
for it…then WHO is to blame for the
consequences?
