All over the news we are hearing of a government shutdown, likely to happen in mid-to late October.
First off, I thought there was a spending agreement of $1.7 trillion earlier this year which was to keep the government running through the 2024 election. Have we pissed away the $1.7 trillion 14 or more months early? If so, I would like an accounting of as the government seems to be using their credit cards at double the speed their promised to…
But it is so unnecessary, boys and girls.
I do mean boys and girls as MEN and WOMEN have learned to live within their means and do so. It is childish and unethical to spend more than you can afford to pay.
It is especially childish when you do not even go to Daddy or Mama (the people) and ask them to loan you more money. NNNNNNOOOOOOO – you simply take Daddy’s social security number and his other personal information and take a line of credit for a new bauble you want.
Actually, I have an acquaintance who did this. Dad found out months later when he was turned down for a business loan due to non-payment on a $100,000 loan. Since then, I avoid the entire family as I find the son to be a thief and Dad enabling his son.
But that’s what your Representatives and Senators are doing in Congress right now.
And – it is ABSOLUTELY unnecessary.
You see, we have – well, we are supposed to be a nation of law – and we have a document that was once considered the Supreme Law of the Land (the Constitution). This Supreme Law says the government only have 17 privileges granted them by the people – and everything else is reserved to the States and to the people (the 9th and 10th Amendment).
Which means whenever the national government spends a penny on education, that means anything to do with education – it’s unconstitutional as the Constitution does not give the national government any privileges with respect to education.
It is the same the Health and Human Services – which means the trillions spent on the Covid pandemic were unconstitutional. So was the money spent on developing the SARS-2 virus. And on and on and on.
In fact, the monies spent on the Ukraine-Russian debacle is unconstitutional as well, as Congress has not declared war – and Ukraine is not a part of NATO…
It’s been said (multiple times) that over 80% of what the government has their greedy, sticky, dirty fingers in is unconstitutional.
This means that government should be spending and borrowing around 20% of what they are – on a daily, weekly, monthly and annual basis.
Live within your means! And stop acting like my former friend who stole $100k by signing Dad’s name to a loan.
UNFORTUNATELY, this fix is very unlikely to be undertaken by our government – because they are that unethical and immoral.
This means you need more than ever to know how to Prosper in a Socialist Society. My book provides specific examples of individuals who have thrived while living in tyranny.

P.S. Sorry for the run around. Unfortunately, the social media police have decided to attack and the mere mention of my book’s page has gotten censored by their community standards monitors.
