Commenting on the current fight between President Joe Biden and House Republicans over the debt ceiling, Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.) said the “Republicans need to grow a backbone and pass some real reforms, or we will end up with socialism.” […]

“Our national debt is approaching a level not just harmful to economic growth and irresponsible to future generations, but dangerous to our national security today,” said Spartz in a Jan. 17 statement. “We are entering treacherous waters and must couple any debt ceiling increases with real reforms.”

“Huge amounts of politically directed spending and crony capitalism have created a significant oligopoly problem in nearly every market sector — not much different from oligarchs ruling in post-socialist countries,” she added. “Health care monopolies lobbied by special interest groups, like hospitals, is one of the major examples.” […]

The U.S. government hit the debt ceiling on Thursday, Jan. 19, with a total national debt at $31,414,360,560,928.79 — $31.4 trillion. …

We can’t complain about the RINOs and also mock the guys we’d prefer to represent.

We’ll end up with worse than socialism. We’ll end up with the most extreme form of bloodthirsty communist tyranny. If you think these leftist bastards want anything less than our extermination you’re out of your mind.

Politicians don't EVER have backbones.

They are driven by two forces:

If we want politicians to help save this country from Marxism/socialism, we need to get louder than the Woke people who are infecting every nook and cranny.

Don't blame the politicans. They are worms. If we want to save this country, WE--the citizens--have to do it.

We have to get loud and bold. None of us condones violence, but if we want to stay free and prosperous, we will have to fight for it.

BTW, it doesn't hurt to listen to Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, and others who are confronting Wokeness and take notes. They are slapping down the Woke every time they meet them face-to-face.

Amen.

The goal isn't socialism. We already have plenty of that.

The goal is pure, unadulterated communism.

I don’t listen to Ben Shapiro. Aside from his nervous too-rapid speech, he’s supported left-wing positions himself.

And I don’t agree that politicians fear the voters. Especially not after 2020.

No; it’s socialism. Communism does not exist; it’s a fake and fictitious state of affairs that presumes the non-existence of state apparatus.

Bullshit. Socialism does not exist.

Socialism is a ploy--a pleasant-sounding scam--to weaken a country so that Marxists can overthrow representative government and replace it with totalitarianism.

You don't listen to Ben Shapiro because he talks too fast?

Just what the hell are you doing to confront the Woke? Talking slowly so daft people can understand?

I don't particularly care for Shapiro as a person, but his arguments against the Woke Movement are cogent...and they bring "debates" with the Woke to a screeching halt.

I'll bet you don't like Jordan Peterson because he's a Canadian.

Go back into your closet and hide.

You've got that backwards.

Communism presumes an all-powerful state apparatus.

You need to re-read "1984"...and perhaps "the Gulag Archipelago."

They fear the voters when the voters march (screaming their names) in front of their houses and offices.

No one is afraid of a bunch of pussies.

Our country is in the midst of a war (an internal one). If we don't learn how to fight back and then do it with great enthusiasm, we have already lost.

said, "They(Rockefeller republicans) are driven by two forces:
1.Greed
2.Fear
3.They are Rothschild/Rockefeller republicans (Fixed)

IE: the alliance with the incarnation of Jakob Frank (I said that correctly), Baron Amschel Mayer Von Rothschild and Adam Weishaupt of 1786

Republicans need to wise up. Get into power and start talking about a fair tax and cuts to medicare? In this environment? Losers.
