Here we are again. Last Monday, America’s National Debt crossed over to $33 Trillion ($33,047,000,000,000 currently)! You can break that down to $254,961 per taxpayer, or $98,460 per citizen. Of course, with conditions at the Southern Border right now, there’s another 10-15 million illegals here, many not contributing to the relief of that debt.

We are currently at that place in the Congressional budget process I call Borrow, Spend, Repeat. This is not the way it is supposed to be handled. According to the United States Constitution, Congress has the power of the purse.. It is established in Article 1, Section 9, Clause 7 (The Appropriation Clause) and Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1 (the Taxing and Spending Clause). As happens with corporations, Congress looks at their income and their expenditures and formulate a budget. Ideally, this should be a balanced budget, where the income and expenditures match. That hasn’t happened in a very long time.

It has become commonplace for Congress to go far beyond the income they have. A couple of times each year, they have to vote to raise the debt ceiling to raise their credit limit, to the tune of $1-1.5 Trillion each time! The thought of actually cutting the spending they authorize never seems to enter the picture. Of course, they can’t even be honest about what they call a cut. If there is an automatic increase of 3% from the previous year, and you decrease that by 1%, that’s NOT a cut but a lessening of the increase! Add in an Executive branch that thinks they have the ability to just decree giving money to this group or to that country, and Congress just goes along with it, there is a real problem. This is happening now.

Right now, Congress is “working” to create a budget. The proposed budget, the one the DemSocialists and the NWO Republicans want is a bloated budget that includes the Marxist agenda goodies for the Anti-American policies and the retraining of the military to accommodate the social misfits whose priorities don’t include the winning of wars. However, there are a few, very few, members of Congress opposed to the routine appropriations process. At last count, there were 19 members in the House and six Senators holding the line and keeping the Speaker in fear of losing his position.

Benjamin Franklin said, “When the people find that they can vote themselves money that will herald the end of the republic.” Well, obviously, we’re there. We need to stand behind the 25 or so members opposing the financial gluttons laying waste to the Republic of the United States of America. We the People should stand against the America Last agenda and vote wisely for the most Conservative candidate as primary time comes. Do your research! Remember, all candidates run as conservatives during the primaries, then turn “moderate” for the General Election! Save our Republic!
