In what I can only assume is another attempt by a Democrat to prove the point that we don't have a spending problem, but a "paying for" or "misallocation of wealth" problem, we had Patty Murray, the Democrat chair of the Senate Budget Committee, releasing something that was referred to as being a budget yesterday. Year after year, in this proposed budget, spending jumps, and rather dramatically so. Just as a for instance, from this year's budget to next year's proposed budget, spending would increase by $162 Billion. This year, the federal government will spend $3.599 Trillion; under Murray's budget, the federal government would be on track to spend even more. I think most of us are able to recognize the fact that what's being proposed here is nothing short of a fiscal impossibility.
Over the next decade, under Murray's proposed budget spending would increase by a staggering 62 percent. The above chart from the Republican side of the Senate Budget Committee details the increase in spending over the next decade. As the chart shows, the budget would increase a bit each year, under the Democratic plan. "Murray’s budget spends $2.2 trillion more in 2023 (the last year of the budget window) than the 2013 levels – a 62% increase (significantly outpacing inflation)," says a staff member on the Republican side of the Senate Budget Committee. In an interview that aired yesterday, even Barry made the point saying, "[W]e don’t have an immediate crisis in terms of debt. In fact, for the next ten years, it’s gonna be in a sustainable place." Oh really? Sustainable?
Whenever I hear about something like this the first thing that pops into my head is that these people truly are trying to force a complete financial and economic meltdown in this country. I mean how else can you possibly explain what it is that they're doing or attempting to do? Normally to present such a idiotic proposal and actually identify it as being a budget would be considered as being nothing short of insane. So I'm now beginning to wonder if there are enough people who are able to recognize that what is now actually underway here is an attempt by the Democrat Party to destroy this country. They used to be a bit more covert about their intentions, but in the era of 'Barack Hussein Obama' they've come out into the open, and today almost brag about their desire to bring America down.
People are going to have to come to the realization that the government does nothing to actually make money. It provides no goods nor services from which it makes money. All of the money the government 'acquires' comes to it courtesy of taxes and fees, or money that it essentially steals from the governed. So when Democrats talk about spending more, it's not like they sell more of a product or provide more of a service from which they can bring in more money. What it does is to increase the amount it steals from those who are still fortunate enough to have a job. And the more money it takes for itself, the less people will have to spend on those things that genuinely stimulate the economy to grow and become stronger. It's a pretty basic principle and yet far too many folks just don't get it.
And I'm sorry if I have to be the one to break the bad news here, but there ain't no such thing as 'free money.' But because of the great brainwashing that has now been taking place for decades, people seem to have come to the conclusion that such a thing actually exists. For too many of those in this country have either forgotten what it once meant to be 'American' or never had that concept instilled in them in the first place. We have, over time, become a nation of parasites, where nearly 50 percent of us see no reason why we should contribute the least amount to keeping this experiment in freedom called America afloat. Now, I'm a firm believer that we are all products of the decisions we make throughout our lives, good or bad. And we have no right to expect others to pay for bad choices.
And yet, a growing number of people today have allowed themselves to be convinced that they are somehow society's victims, that their misfortune is to be blamed on those who happened to make decisions that proved to be a little better. And somehow, or so the logic seems to go, those who made life's better choices are painted as having taken advantage of those who made not so good choices, and as such are in need of being punished by being made to hand over more of their hard earned money to those who are essentially only victims of themselves. Everything has just gotten so turned around. I barely even recognize my country anymore, and frankly, it makes me more than a little sad. But here we are. And I'm wondering just how bad things will have to get before folks get it
