In the jungle that is the Democrat party, it is becoming more clear who the three or four front runners are remaining.
Beto quit, saying he couldn’t mount a substantial money base to draw from — even Democrats who agree with Beto saying “hell yes, we’re going to take your AR15 or AK47” are apt to not support someone so honest about one of the Democrat Party’s main ideas, even though they support the idea 100%. Now we have Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg, Bernie Sanders, and a gaggle of also-rans. The most likely of the ones left are Biden and Warren, both congenital liars — Joe a crook, Liz a faux Native-American.
Regardless of the low qualifications to become a Democrat candidate, they all advocate free health care, free college, open borders and on a lesser scale confiscation of weapons, reparations, guaranteed monthly income, federal jobs for those seeking employment, free, free, free. And then there’s the Green New Deal!
Let me ask a question of older citizens who have been working for 20-plus years. When you were in high school trying to figure out what you wanted to do with your future, did you imagine your government would give you free college and health care? We (working people) know nothing is free. That is code word for government controlled which means the following:
• Less health care when you need it. You’re in government health care — wait your damn turn.
• Less doctors and health care professionals because of government control and salary caps.
• Free college means crowded classes, inept professors and diploma mills.
• Those behemoth universities with constant building going on will cease to expand.
You like free health care, move to Canada. You want the Green New Deal, open your wallet wide open — taxes will go up on everyone and nothing will change. The weather will not change and the carbon emissions will continue to expand because no matter what we do the rest of the world will continue to pollute and spew carbon emissions. You want the southern border open so the invasion can continue, vote Democrat.
What the country has to come to grips with is the enormous debt we have (something we can control); federal debt, college debt, personal debt (credit cards). We are close to the abyss and looking over the edge. The governing responsible parties are not up to telling the American people we need to grow up as a country and pay down debt and not accumulate more. However, politicians cannot and won’t face reality, even when they know it is the country’s best interest. They care about power and nothing else.
We should be cutting more federal and state services, not expanding them. Whole federal government departments that are redundant or determined not effective should be cut. People should be informed no jobs are safe and everyone is an “at will” employee, regardless of position, rank, union or non-union worker. We need less government , not more.
Folks, all good things come to an end. It happens. Economists know this will happen. Bankers know this will happen. It is about time the general public is informed this will happen. And when it does, how the people react will be interesting to watch. Will there be riots and mayhem, or will people band together and help each other to get through it, like in the Depression?
The difference between the Depression and now is in the Depression there were front porches and people knew their neighbors, now we have back yard decks and fences and don’t know our neighbors. You figure out how people will react when their debit/credit cards don’t work and they cannot use a cell phone. I think riots and mayhem will rule: Hell on earth, every man and woman for themselves.
Will we be able to come to grips with reality and understand the trouble we are facing? I doubt it. I encourage all of you to pay down debt, pay off the mortgage, credit card balance, vehicle loans, etc. and get yourself debt-free. Or get ready for call-in for the balance of the debt or loan. The debtor is slave to the lender — that is the truth.
My hope is I’m wrong, completely wrong. But I doubt it. You doubt it too.
The rotting of America from within continues…
