Lucky for us the borders are secure to keep ou......oh. 🤔
I bet the number of spending bills read and understood by these congresslosers is “ZERO”! What a group of pathetic, self-centered fools.
Note to self: buy as much gold and silver as I can, trying for 20% of each paycheck.
Most in the congress are old and won’t be around when the economy collapses in the next 10 to 15 years. They will be dead and don’t care.
Those still alive are going to regret things they did and won’t be alive for long after the coming crash. Mobs don’t pay attention to the letter after the name when they can’t afford to eat or pay their bills.
“Congress needs to get serious about reducing spending.”

But then how would they buy off the voters? They all want to remain in power so the spending is not going to stop.
The U.S. has already been downgraded by two of the ratings agencies and another one has it on credit watch. Can a third downgrade be far away? Whatever, the congress and president could care less.
Why, they profit from spending and have no accountability for the devastating outcomes.
"That would be the ballooning debt crisis."
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Probably most of the huge national debt is based on unconstitutional federal taxing and spending as a consequence of Congress's abuse of its powers under the repealable 16th Amendment (direct taxes) imo.
The immediate remedy for corrupt Congress imo is for Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to effectively "impeach and remove" ALL of Congress, except for MTG, Gaetz & Company (and others?), by booting incumbents from office in November (YOU'RE FIRED!), replacing them with new patriot lawmakers so that hopeful Trump 47 won't be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term in office.
"16th Amendment : The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
From the congressional record:
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)

The repealable 17th Amendment (popular voting for federal senators) needs to disappear too.
I have a wheelbarrow to carry all the money I will need to buy a loaf of bread. Should I buy another one???
