Our founding fathers would be ashamed of what the Governing has done to The Governed and our country

This is what they would be ashamed of. Dec 4th 2022 WASHINGTON (AP) - Former President Donald Trump faced rebuke Sunday from officials in both parties after calling for the “termination” of parts of the Constitution over his lie that the 2020 election was stolen. Trump, who announced last month that he is running again for president, made the claim over the weekend on his Truth Social media platform. “A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” he wrote. “Our great ‘Founders’ did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!”

Note the department has no classrooms, no diplomas... just a grant factory subsidizing stupid from sea to shining sea, with the knowledge that 1% or so comes back to democrat coffers - its really, really expensive money even before local schools get damaged by unions.

It pisses me off! Our social security is OUR retirement. We EARNED and SAVED that money, it's OURS! And that's the first thing they threaten us with. NOT welfare benefits! WE pay tax on our social security when we earned it, AND, thanks to Brandon, we are taxed to get it back, AND taxed to spend it! Our SS money is taxed 3 fu@#!NG times! Taxed to earn it, taxed to draw it back, taxed to spend it! And when we die, they just keep the balance! 400 pound, 3 generation, welfare recipients, are getting more money from OUR tax dollars, than they dribble out to us on SS! We're supposed to learn from our past, but they're not teaching about the past. A lot of what they teach now, are lies. I think, MY OPINION, our own government is pushing us into war. They WANT chaos, so they can take control over us, "FOR OUR OWN GOOD"! I pray for our children. I believe it's going to get way worse before it gets better.

And what? Now, the social security my parents have been paying into since they were young won’t even be there? We’ll have to support my parents financially when they’re too old to work when we can’t even save for our own retirement?

Once the politicians bankrupt this country, they won't care. They'll have all the money in their pockets and their lives will go on while the majority suffers. It's already happening right now ! There's plenty of money flowing around D.C. buying drinks and fancy dinners, while in most other places of the country restaurants are either closed or close early ! For the "halves", the economy will always be good. For the "halve nots", you'll always only get what the "halves" don't want !!

Fair share taxpayers maxed out, seniors looking to retire will not be able to because the government job perks will have to dig deeper into the social security economics pie to only have a fraction of what it’s going to cost to fund more government employees. The taxes and inflation will rise farther and those who are on a fixed income will not be able to meet the new requirements to have enough retirement income to survive

@@reasonablespeculation3893 First off, our debt is in dollars which we can print. No other country has this ability. While the dollar is the global reserve we can do whatever we want. However what we want to do, it seems, is give all the profits to the private sector while neglecting our infrastructure and wage earners. No common sense measures can be taken since every avenue is some crony's gravy train. HUD's website up until a year ago said they could solve homelessness nationwide for $20b, while we spend $7b a year doing nothing. Look into the business of housing homeless people in trash units for twice the price of nice apartments in the same area. Drug rehab centers get $300k per bed per 3 months, as long as they keep them full. I think the ACA allocates like $200b/year to rehabs. Plenty of records of people being paid to stay, and they have something like a 10% rehabilitation rate. FHA loans covered by taxpayers which leads to overlending. Companies spending more on stock buybacks than on taxes. Many huge companies across markets like Pfizer, Citibank, Lockheed, allowed to socialize their losses and privatize their gains. 800+ military bases across the world, ever increasing military budgets with zero audits despite voter's concerns. I can recall 2 instances in my adult life where our government misplaced multiple trillions of dollars with no explanation. No price protections on pharmaceuticals, paired with a hugely subsidized agriculture market which lobbied for welfare recipients to be able to use food stamps for junk food. Leading to a very profitable sickcare system all backed by tax dollars. There are a million things we could do in this country to lower our debt. Every time they have this talk they point at social security and Medicare. It's bipartisan, both Biden and of course everyone on the right wants to cut or privatize it. They don't want to stop any of the leaks that are sinking our ship, because those leaks enrich the communities of the ultra wealthy all over the globe. We are coming out of a 20+ year mega bull run, one small blip in 08. Instead of capturing that money for America and Americans, we allowed it all to be extracted. We neglected our infrastructure to the point that now we are " forced" to privatize much of it. We ballooned our personal debt as well as our national debt. And now we have inflation at the same time they want to make cuts. We should be sitting pretty after the last 2 decades. Instead we couldn't be worse off. The petro dollar is being challenged and we are fanning the flames on 2 fronts which absolutely dwarf the Iraq war. This country is being purposely run into the ground, and speakers like this obfuscating the plot is how they continue to get away with it.

I have some basic kitchen table math for you. The U.S spends more on their military complex than the next 11 large-spending countries combined. Specifically, the next 11 countries spend $761 compared to the U.S. with $778 billion. The 11 countries are India, China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, South Korea, Japan, Italy, and Australia. To give this number in perspective, this spending comes to 1.5 million a minute. Dont try to tell us we're not borrowing any money to run this club. At some point, we have had to "turn on the printing presses" to fund all this B.S. Its time to require the Pentagon to pass an audit before we begin any new military weapons project. The military ""contractor" complex will continue to develop new systems in spite of this proposed new weapons "stand-down" and perhaps may just learn to work smarter, as the Ukrainians have, to innovate in the development of smarter and lower cost systems. "The numbers are just so high, Its un-immagianable" hahaha. In my book, this is irresponsible spending and enabling by these very Republicans. A ten percent cut in the overall military budget will pay down that national debt in no time at all. Yes, I am old enough to have been around that this was done by an administration and it lasted a whole two years before the GOP got in there to srew it all up again. It makes no sense to me at all that these "politicians" are trying to use "kitchen table economics" to gaslight us into believing that the military complex takes priority over elder and medical care for this nation . . as well as trying to blame the national debt on the people rather than the free-spending, audit failing Pentagon. People first continue voting blue!

This was great. A second voice helps diffuse the monotony of listening to one. My brain is a calculator too. It's from years of being in a business where profit depended on my "free" labor aka ability to work 125 hrs per week on my entrepreneurial pursuits. I became successful in spite of all the same tragic setbacks others claim destroyed their success. It's all about fortitude baby! That Rudyard Kipling poem, "IF" got to me when I was 7 yrs old. Never turned it loose.

My wife and I retired in 2021, thinking we could live on our retirement. WRONG !!! The cost of living jumped so much, so fast, we are scraping to barely get by. 55 years of hard work, only to end up barely getting by. It's a shame. Our government is filthy rich, from OUR tax dollars, and they expect us to live in tents and eat bugs! They said, "you will own NOTHING and like it"!

I 100% agree. Every person running for Congress should have worked in the private sector for a few years. This should be mandatory. Without experience in the private sector, one should not be allowed to apply for office. Reduce the bureaucracy. Stop paying welfare to the dead.
