That seems to be the mantra of most politicians and virtually all national Democrats.  Some of them are purportedly economists and intelligent, but their actions are cause for questioning the legitimacy of those claims.  They seem to miss some basic economic and rational principles that most voters understand.  You cannot just throw money at a problem and expect it to be fixed.

There is a proven principle that the more something is subsidized, and the more funding is pumped into a situation, the more expensive and unaffordable that thing becomes.  That is evidenced by the government’s complicity in the unsustainable cost of higher education. 

Dating back to the 1960s, we have watched the federal government throw money into education.  The grants and loans were supposed to make college more affordable.  What happened?  The colleges and universities used that windfall of money to bulk up administrators and increase their prices faster than inflation.  The colleges and universities kept gouging, and the government kept doling out the money and wondered why the money didn’t fix the problem.  Duh! 

One solution that would not require money would be to stop requiring college degrees for jobs that do not require one. That would allow students who cannot afford to go to college to secure a good job without the indebtedness.  Too simple?  Maybe, but it is one possible non-fiscal approach that has merit.

The government keeps spinning the spin and advancing the lies.  Remember, with Obamacare, the many misrepresentations we were asked to believe?  If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.  There will be more competition.  Prices will go down.  This plan will pay for itself.  Did that happen?  Not that I can find, and many were unconstitutionally forced to comply.  The government’s involvement and expenditures made everything more expensive. We paid more for the product and watched our taxes climb higher.  Double pay for failure!

Joe Biden is now advancing Obamacare Part II, which, if allowed to survive, will further decimate the quality of medical care, and cost more money.  His energy policies have cost us at the pump and caused EVERYTHING to cost more!  When the government seeks or succeeds in destroying or limiting our access to reasonably priced and reliable energy, higher costs for energy are guaranteed.  When the cost of energy increases, all goods and services also increase.  Inflation soars, and those working for a living feel the pinch at every turn.  Stop helping us, please!

In modern America, the WOKE agenda has reached corporate America, and I find it encouraging that many Americans are pushing back.  Those seeking to impose upon us a cultural revolution and enforce their agenda have successfully shaped the policies of many corporations.  The plan was to be on steroids under a Hillary Clinton presidency, but the victory by Donald Trump was a fly in the ointment and gave us a brief respite.  That has changed, but I see signs that people are awakening.

The massive attempts to control the masses and the overt actions that can be called nothing but a vendetta against Trump and anyone who supported him show signs of awakening the sleeping giant.  The reaction to Bud Light aligning with a transexual got the attention of some in corporate America.  Others failed to heed, such as Target, Ben and Jerry’s, and many others. 

Boycotts can work. If the American people who want to maintain freedom and inalienable rights decide to unitedly not to shop at those WOKE agenda businesses, the loss of finances usually has an effect.  If we do not value our freedom and seek to protect the home, family, faith, and freedom, we will be forced to comply or ignore the deviancy and destruction.  I sense a declaration like that of Patrick Henry, “Give me liberty or give me death,” rumbling in mainstream America.

Conservatism is today’s counterculture, and we are battling an entrenched establishment determined to force the agenda of liberalism, globalism, and WOKE-ism upon us.  This is reminiscent of the 1960s and 70s but in reverse.  Those in the modern establishment are veterans of that conflict and are now the establishment they sought to destroy.  It is time that those of us who value Faith, Family, and Freedom stand up and stand together for a restoration of our moral values and constitutional provisions.

Money talks: If we follow the money trail, we find the truth.  Politics is big business, requiring massive amounts of dollars to survive.  Money talks, and when money talks, ethics and sanity seem to walk for many who are in elective positions and lead the bureaucracies of our government. 

When the Supreme Court ruled that the Biden administration’s plan to forgive student loans was unconstitutional, they saved American taxpayers about 400 billion dollars.  I believe it was much more than that.  It shaved an immediate $400 billion off the deficit and reportedly saves the taxpayers about $30 billion annually for the next decade. 

Some insist that the deficit and national debt are meaningless because they are so massive and are just paper.  That is a wrong view, in my opinion.  Debt is debt, and at some point, the interest on our national debt will rise to a place where we cannot afford to pay the interest.  At that juncture, our economy will collapse, and foreign entities will demand payment, which we cannot pay, and allow them massive control.  If we default, that will negatively impact the economies of numerous countries and cause a worldwide economic collapse. 

As a Christian, I see that as a viable avenue for the ‘Man of Sin’ to rise to power and offer his Utopian solutions to solve the problems of the world.  Those of us who believe the Bible know that his solution will be short-lived and diabolical evil will result. 

America, money is valuable because money is life.  I mean that we have to spend part of our lives to earn money.  With the increasing government fraud, expenditures, and corruption, there is an increased risk of losing our Republic.  Government waste and ineptitude have long been part of the equation.  One prime example is the more recent revelation that $400 billion in COVID relief seems to have vanished into thin air.  But it is likely much more than that. 

Over the past three years, the federal government has distributed more than $4.2 trillion in aid connected to COVID-19.  According to a new report, over $400 billion of that massive amount was wasted or stolen.  How do you lose 400 billion dollars?  We are told that the feds are actively pursuing the prosecution of the fraudsters.  Seriously?  If so, the first place they need to look is at the government officials in charge of distributing those funds. 

We know that people in prison, Nigerian scammers, fraudulent businesses, and more received massive amounts of those funds.  The government’s ineptitude and possible kickbacks are glaring.  In the National Bureau of Economic Research report, only 23 to 34 percent of the PPP’s funds went directly to the workers who would have otherwise lost their jobs.  The taxpayers paid approximately $4 for every $1 the workers received. What happened to the rest? 

Graft and corruption are rampant, which may explain why Joe Biden wants to spend the massive amounts he desires at once.  Hey, kickbacks to the Big Guy are lucrative!  America, we cannot afford the politics of the politicians; we need to take our country back.

God bless you, and God bless America!
