Chuck Baldwin
On Monday I will be posting a newly-released report on my website regarding the latest financial numbers on government spending under the Trump administration. I have documented over and over again the fact that the Republican Party (including Donald Trump) is anything but "conservative"--especially when it comes to federal spending.
Here is a brief summary of the latest numbers:
*The 2018 budget deficit will rise 20% over the 2017 deficit
*The latest deficit is the largest since 2013 (This means a larger deficit than under Barack Obama)
*The annual deficit will rise over $1 trillion
*The deficit in the month of July alone was a whopping $77 billion
The major reason for the increase in deficit spending is paying for Trump's numerous wars and military actions across the globe -- especially in the Middle East. And this does NOT include a bill that gives almost $4 billion in military aid to Israel that is currently working its way through Congress -- and, no doubt, will be approved by both Democrats and Republicans.
As I have said numerous times, "The only difference between Democrats and Republicans is that Democrats want to tax and spend, and Republicans want to borrow and spend. But both parties want to SPEND."
I know this report will mean absolutely nothing to the Trump toadies across America who are mired in the phony left-right paradigm, but as Sgt. Joe Friday would say, "Just the facts, Ma'am, just the facts."
Chuck Baldwin is absolutely right!!! Tax and spend or borrow and spend. We sink either way, because we have lost our way.
We fail to heed the wisdom of Thomas Jefferson, a brilliant man who understood the weakness, greed and chicanery of man.
We have taken our foot off the brakes of liberty and jammed it forward on the throttle of socialism and we have doomed ourselves.
"In questions of power...let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution." --Thomas Jefferson: Kentucky Resolutions, 1798.
