More like majority rule, and just think they wanted full on democracy by going popular vote and getting rid of electoral college that is saposed to protect minority states. Now want to have federal control over schools instead of state level. Slowly trying to erode what is left of a republic self governance and centeralise power. Neverminde they also wanted to allow for illegal migrants to vote who have never lived here and push for same day voting with no ID requirements.

If we don't wake up soon, we'll all be singing, "Bye Bye Miss American Pie" - Welcome to the United States of America, owned and operated by Communist China with easy access to all from our Mexican border. 🇺🇲 Bringing manufacturing back home to the USA and protecting own southern border is going to end up being not only a key to restoring our economy, but to maintaining our national security as well 🇺🇲 🇨🇳 SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES MATTER 🇨🇳 CHINESE TRADE WAR VIRUS MATTERS 🇨🇳 🇺🇲 MADE IN THE USA by US CITIZENS MATTERS 🇺🇸 We need tariffs that are proportionate to the inequities in wages, regulations, subsides, taxes and tariffs in the country where the goods were actually produced and or where we’re importing them from - Including country of origin, even when imported from another 3rd party country - We could then use the money raised by these tariffs to help companies build state of the art manufacturing plants here in the USA, which would create more jobs here at home for US citizens, which would then in turn increase our income tax revenue. Humm - Let me guess - Oh, here comes the Old Tariffs = Socialism / Trade war BS - Sorry, they're right removing them has worked out so well for the American People and the Real American Economy. Oh yeah right - Here they come with the old Smoot-Hawley myth. Smoot-Hawley is a notorious deliberately fabricated classic FreeTraitor excuse, based on an act from way back in 1929 no less. Hello it's 2024 - Why not base your economic thoughts on the Fred Flintstone era? We should not allow this mythical excuse to paralyze our policy making in the present day modern era. Nothing less than an actual tariff or the equivalent is ever going to get Beijing to stop gaming the international trading system to America's disadvantage. What about the tariffs and VAT that other countries use on our products? - Not to mention the foreign industries that are subsidized by their governments, including communist China. No matter how the globalist-free-marketeers and FreeTraitors try to spin it - Our huge trade deficits and indebtedness to foreign countries like communist China are obviously not in the best interest of our country or the American people. It's Not Rocket Science - Since the FreeTraitors have had their way of it, our largest export has been American jobs and money. Wake up America - China is where way too many of our food products, medicines and supplements are being processed and manufactured. Bringing manufacturing back home to the USA and protecting own southern border is going to end up being not only a key to restoring our economy, but to maintaining our national security as well. The people with all of the excuses as to why we can't, shouldn't or aren't willing to manufacture products here in the US are the same people who have provided us with the very same shortsighted thinking that's gotten us into this mess in the first place. If more people would have listened to Ross Perot back in 1992, America wouldn't be in this mess - Turns out he was right. We don't need homes full of cheap foreign products, but we do need jobs that will allow us to keep up with the mortgage, healthcare costs, higher education loans, etc..... - If it wasn't for all the outsourcing and insourcing taking away income-tax-paying American's jobs and driving down wages, we would have bank accounts cluttered with cash, instead of homes cluttered with cheap foreign products and buried in debt. Wake up America - We've become a consumer driven debt ridden society. Wanting trade and immigration policies that will put the best interests of our own US CITIZENS first and foremost, especially our veterans is not racist, fascist, or socialist - It's common sense, if you're an American of any race, creed, or gender. Let's face it, China fought a trade war using a biological weapon, the corrupt manipulative NWO backed US media and US puppet politicians. If we don't wake up soon, we'll all be singing, "Bye Bye Miss American Pie" - Welcome to the United States of America, owned and operated by Communist China with easy access to all from our Mexican border. 🇺🇲 We finally had a president that was doing something about our traitorous trade and immigration policies - But the corrupt manipulative media, establishment puppet politicians and their masters blatantly fought the American People tooth and nail every step of the way. 🇨🇳 Joe Biden is not just totally corrupt, but incompetent as well - It's about time that America starts holding globalist establishment puppet politicians and the corrupt manipulative media accountable. If we don't have the funds to build the wall along our own southern border - Then let's stop sending American tax-payer funded financial aid to foreign countries, stop financial aid to illegal aliens, stop importing cheap labor, stop allowing and enabling US jobs and industries to be outsourced to foreign countries and do not import foreign fuel, steel nor electronics used in our military weapons, national defense systems and power grids - Build the wall and guard the border using our drone and satellite surveillance systems to find and turn back unauthorized intruders - Also, hire our veterans and former law enforcement officers to monitor and minimize visa over stays. NEWS FLASH MEDIA PROPAGANDISTS and GLOBALIST ESTABLISHMENT POLITICIANS - Our leaders are supposed to be elected by the citizens of the United States of America to represent the interests of those citizens and the country itself - They are not supposed to be representing Wall Street, lobbyist, international corporations, the globalist-free-marketeers (WTO, NAFTA, TPP, KORUS, NWO), foreign citizens, foreign interests or illegal aliens - And it’s about time that all of our so called leaders start honoring that fact. One thing that became obvious during and after the last two presidential elections, is that establishment puppet politicians, the corrupt manipulative media and their globalist masters just consider the American people to be collateral damage in their game of globalization and cheap wages. It's about time that America starts holding globalist establishment puppet politicians and the corrupt manipulative media accountable. SPEAKING OF SCIENCE DENIERS 🇨🇳 COVID-19 PLANDEMIC 🇨🇳 WHAT A COINCIDENCE 🇨🇳 🇨🇳 Yes media propagandists and puppet politicians, we should all just close our eyes and accept the results of a blatantly obvious fraudulent presidential election, after listening to four years of Russia, Russia, Russia, false racism, media race monger and paid agitator inspired riots, the blatant cover-up of the Biden family's corruption, and then the false narrative and optics of a fake insurrection, just so the NWO Elites can keep making everything in China 🇨🇳 🇺🇲 ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ALREADY 🇺🇲 TRUMP WON and WE ALL KNOW IT 🇺🇸 Even most actual Biden voters with even an ounce of common sense. The corrupt politicians and media propagandists that covered up Biden's corruption and the blatantly obvious stolen presidential election are just as bad as Biden himself.

None of the public officials in the US are actually registered, under their fictitious name they all use. All caps is fictitious, Non English, has no meaning, so their name plates, uniform names are fictitious unregistered business names. This means they don't exist. I am not kidding. Plus the average man/woman with a birth certificate, is holding that document, but it's not their name. It is US property. Those are legal names, unregistered business names. People don't understand. Look up "Assumed Name Certificate" on youtube. Ask yourself this, did I ever registered that all caps name on my DL? If not, you are acting as the legal name illegally. Get registered.

Vivek is RIGHT. WE need to start at a ZERO BUDGET, EVERY YEAR, and justification needs to be presented to further fund ANY and ALL programs. If there is no justification, there should be no spending. The justification should show a BALANCED BUDGET, and if any department spends more than they take in through taxes, we should PRIORITIZE the most important things, and cut all the fat that never pans out.
@animejanai4657
@animejanai4657 Місяць тому
The country cannot legally start at zero because liberal judges in federal courts have ruled on various aspects of budget items as being mandatory NON-discretionary spending. Among these are the entitlements such as social welfare spending. So Vivek actually meant to say that unless you repeal spending bills (democrats will filibuster that), the social welfare spending on BLM is considered more important than buying new warships, new airplanes, and highway improvement grants to States as part of their infrastructure aid.

David Schweikert is the only congressman I actually have to be in a certain mindset to listen to. He was on in the morning the other day and I had to come back to watch it at a later time. No disrespect to Mr. Schweikert at all. What this man speaks about is terrifying. Even if his facts were only halfway right, which I think he is 100, you would think that there would be more coverage about everything he says. It must be really frustrating to be yelling, screaming, shaking all the bells, honking the horn, pulling the alarms to and nobody is covering it. Well, as mainstream news goes.

If you would learn Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), it explains the deficit in terms of sections (sectors) of the economy. There is the public sector, the government, and the private sector, the people and the businesses. Since the government creates the currency, they are able to take on a lot of a deficit. If they do that, then the people, the currency users, don't have to take on debt to live. On the other hand, if the government doesn't take on a high deficit, then the people have to take on a lot of debt in order to survive. If they actually have no deficit at all ("balanced the budget") the country will have a recession within five years of the year that the government had a surplus. It's always a balance between sectors: government high, people low. Government low, people high. The government can afford a higher deficit because they can never go broke as the currency issuer, unlike people, who can go broke as the currency users.
