During this week’s broadcast of FNC’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) decried the immorality of congressional spending levels for 2023.
In 2019, Congress spent $4.4 trillion, Johnson said. In 2023, the federal government is expected to spend $6.3 trillion.
“When I hear bipartisanship — and I asked Nancy, Congresswoman Nancy Mace, about this earlier — that Senate appropriators, and I’m talking about Democrats and Republicans, have gone — they’re working on — to boost spending above the Fiscal Responsibility Act levels by classifying $14 billion of ordinary appropriations as emergency spending,” fill-in host Dagan McDowell said. “What the heck are members of your party doing?”

True. And both parties seem incapable of recognizing the long term problems with deficits, and the national debt ,and unfunded liabilities such as projected future Social Security spending.
Probably, this is due to how politicians look at issues in 2 and 4 year cycles, corresponding to election cycles. If we don’t have a SHTF moment in their term of office, the problem gets kicked down the road.
Neither political party seems capable of dealing with it.
Bingo! 300 years ago was already accepted as basic economic common sense that a printed, fiat, centrally-controlled currency would ALWAYS benefit government power, its cronies, and corruption. The great trick of progressives and their socialist ilk, was that new "modern" man would be able to efficiently and justly central-plan such things.
The job of Senator and Representative have only one duty - to collect money for their districts & donors.
Spending other people’s money is more addictive than heroin.
When a thief finds other person’s credit card, she spends like a drunken sailor.
The voters couldn’t care less. They loves them some pork.
We’re back to “taxation without representation”. Yes, this is immoral and unethical....then billions go to Ukraine and elsewhere. Just who’s money do they think this is?
Our Constitution lays in tatters.
It’s worth noting that even Trump did not veto a single major spending bill.
So if we can’t get someone like Rand Paul in (and soon), I guess it’s all over but the crying.
The average fool walking around out there has absolutely no idea how dangerously close we already are to the end of petrodollar dominance, or what sort of pain lies ahead for our country when that arrives.
Johnson is my #1 choice for VP.
The bigger the government the less Freedom.

Eventually that self-implodes. It will happen, coming out of “nowhere.”
We should ask college students and other young people if they are comfortable with $33-34 Trillion in debt. If they are comfortable, they deserve what they get.
Add a portion of this not paid for by taxes to the national debt, and the future may be seen rather clearly today.
Irrespective of "petrodollar" and "reserve currency" issues, the largest and most inclusive umbrella over all is that our beloved nation is being bankrupted by POLITICS, benefiting the well-connected and "donor" class now eating away at the middle and lower classes like a grand buffet.
government has forgotten that they work for us- they are steeped in tyranny now
The House should address this issue not the public. Also do not reconcile with the Senate of President.
HOW? How is this possible?
