Trillions sent to our government over the years. It is my contention that they have not been good stewards with our money or our national treasure. Squandered comes to mind...
And yet they continually demand we send more to them and they continue to waste so much treasure.
If every penny was subjected to Constitutional review, the budget would be reduced to hundreds of millions a year instead of tens of trillions per year. (Ok, so I’m a little bit math challenged.)
No.
No one questions their stewardship and responsibility with our money. They havent been responsible in any area of spending.
This fiscal debacle destroys not just wealth, but jobs and therefore, people’s lives. It is devastating when someone loses their job. They stand to lose their home. It affects their family in untold ways...yet, job-killing taxes and regulations are routinely put on us with minimal consideration of the effect on hard working people. Dont bother contacting your Congressman - he doesnt care,,,
The tens of thousands of your hard-earned dollars that you’ve sent to the U.S. Treasury is the absolute worst investment you’ve made. The scoundrels who run this shake-down promise you all sorts of benefits from your “contributions,” and they rarely make good on those benefits. They have spent the country’s treasure on buying votes to keep themselves in power and for the benefit of their cronies, while you and your family go into debt to keep the family afloat.
And they add insult to injury by accusing us of not being willing to “sacrifice for the common good.” Get the bloated, greedy government off the backs of the people, and we wouldn’t need all the programs that never solve the problems caused by government theft of our wealth.
BIG GOVERNMENT IS CRONY SOCIALISM.
“Socialism Is Legal Plunder” - Frederic Bastiat
DEPOPULATE socialists/totalitarians from the body politic. They’re the cause of this current, real-time, pre-meditated, fiasco.
“Above all, if you wish to be strong, begin by rooting out every particle of socialism that may have crept into your legislation. This will be no light task.” - Bastiat 1801-1850

Well said, both of you.
Bastiat knew the destructive nature of socialism 200 years ago, and any thinking person today knows of it’s failings today.
Plunder destroys the recipient more than the taxpayer, but everyone loses in the big scheme of things.
Thanks. Bastiat - NOT read, NOT taught, NOT discussed, NOT mentioned (even by almost all “conservatives”). Bastiat-type conservative “representation” so well-articulated and naming domestic enemies? ZERO. This man debunked the Communist Manifesto before it was written. He was not afraid to name names.
(I’ll restate and name names)
It’s the socialism, stupid.
Identify each socialist individual. DEPOPULATE them from the body politic. DEFUND their collectives, foreign and domestic.

Perhaps the freedom, individual rights/responsibiltiy caucus can start DEFUNDING their programs. /sarcasm
We’re NOT “all socialists now”, but do we have “representation” in government?
BIG GOVERNMENT IS CRONY SOCIALISM.
Socialists poison pills from long ago (and current programs) are economically enslaving us, our children and our grandchildren who happen to be born into this debt slavery.
Debt is the vehicle they pack us in to drive us to TOTALITARIANISM. It’s pre-meditated and happening in real-time. Watch it today. Listen to the socialists/totalitarians.

Alter it.
Lack of accountability is the root of the problem.
The government takes in (5) billion dollars a day and spends (11) billion a day,squandered and stupidity comes to mind.
Heard it this morning - this country BORROWS $4 million every minute. Unreal.
