Too big not to Fail

 

Lack of oversight facilitates fraud.

Total federal spending in 2000 was $1.789 Trillion. Fast forward 25 years and federal spending has ballooned to $7.010 Trillion, almost quadrupling. The size and scope of the federal government has exceeded its ability to monitor and manage its vast tentacles as it attempts to impact every aspect of our lives. And some are just fine with that. There is no government spending program that democrats do not believe is absolutely essential, or that is too frivolous, in their efforts to spend our tax dollars. Case in point; USAID. Billions of tax dollars wasted on programs, with little or no oversight, that did nothing to actually fulfill the role in which it was created. Yet, democrats fought tooth and nail for each and every wasteful spending adventure in transgender education for Sudan and the like.

Oversight for this spending lies with Congress. 535 members cannot conduct the appropriate oversight with the scope of a government that surpasses understanding. The nearest star to the earth, Proxima Centauri, is 4.24 light years away, or approximately 25 trillion miles. Federal spending this year, if dollars were substituted with miles, would get us almost 1/3 of the way to Proxima Centauri. The Federal debt is over $37Trillion, or 12 trillion miles beyond our nearest star. Wrapping one’s head around the vastness of those numbers is almost beyond the capacity of human ability. Factor in the deep state’s desire to protect themselves from oversight and with programs that basically write blank checks, and you get a recipe for disaster with an avenue for rampant fraud.

Washington is the epitome of “pay for play.” You scratch my back by facilitating a contract with my firm and you get rewarded with a $6-7 figure job in the private sector when you retire. Many of our elected “representatives” have accrued wealth far beyond their salary accumulation, precisely because they know how to use their status for gain. This DC two-step is not solely a one-party problem, it is widespread throughout local, State, and Federal government, with elected officials and bureaucrats benefiting alike. There is no rational explanation for career politicians amassing such wealth, other than they are receiving illicit payments. And why would so many of our elected representatives resist passing legislation that prohibits “insider” stock trading by Congress?

For Marxism to take root and spread, capitalism must be dismantled. One strategy is to spend the government into oblivion. In 1966, leftist sociologists Richard Cloward and Francis Fox-Piven developed a plan to generate societal chaos by overwhelming the welfare system. This Cloward-Piven Strategy opens the door to the creation of a federal program of income redistribution. It then becomes necessary to subsidize even more of the poor once the welfare system collapses. The term “stimulus” is simply a pretense for income redistribution. The government takes from producers and gives to nonproducers, increasing dependency on federal government support. A representative government is replaced with an elite ruling class, a tyrannical autocracy that makes the rules and has the sole power to enforce them. Sound familiar? It is part and parcel of the Democrat Socialists of America (DSA) policy platform.

This is the AOC/Bernie Sanders wing of the democrat party, one that “mainstream” democrats have little issue with as they fail to distance themselves from its radical policies. Any port in the storm when your primary goal is to seek, gain and maintain power and authority. If it increases odds of a democrat takeover, to them, that is a path well taken, no matter the consequences to this nation. The current democrat party is wholly unrecognizable from the party of JFK. Today’s Republican party is more representative of the “blue dog democrats” that placed country over party, than today’s democrats that will abandon their responsibility to constituents just to undermine President Trump.

Placing some of our representatives in charge of managing oversight for $Trillions in Federal spending, is like making a fox responsible for guarding the henhouse. Tax dollars go out the door to pet programs and money returns to the democrat national committee (DNC) via non-profits and NGO’s that were tasked to manage and distribute the funds to the “worthy” causes. Smurfs were utilized by the democrat fundraising site Act Blue to launder $Millions to democrat causes and candidates. Investigations continue that may lead to the discovery of tax dollars earmarked for USAID programs and money sent to Ukraine to aid in their war effort against Russia, that was redirected to the DNC in millions of donations small enough to evade detection by the Federal Election Commission.

This fraud is happening in plain sight, discovered by independent journalists, like Nick Shirley and James OKeefe, that are not in the pocket of the democrat party as is most of the legacy media. But there is a solution available to every US citizen. The opportunity to win this fight against dishonest politicians occurs every other year. We the people hold the key to hold the wicked accountable. Your informed vote can put good people into office, just as it can remove those who betray the public trust. Democrats, as constituted, have betrayed their duty to represent the public and must be voted out of office. We the people have the duty to elect those who understand their obligation as public servants. We also have the duty to remove those who do not. Make your vote count this November.
