Continually finding new ways to march towards Socialism and to The Left, is at best a Fool’s Errand. No organization, business, or individual can forever withstand continually escalating expenses. No Country, even with the power of taxation can afford to do so either.
Expenses must always be held responsibly in check. The only way to actually check the increasing growth of Government and the continual move towards Socialism on a Federal Level is to have a balanced budget Constitutional Amendment.
You would need a mechanism like that if your Representatives do not have the political will to hold expenditures down and in check
themselves, so this is what I personally advocate.
Cuts need to be made, like you have seen in President Trump’s Budget. That’s not even a balanced budget, but it’s a start and it shows the severity and seriousness of such an issue and the difficulty of interjecting the paradigm of responsible spending into a Government that has been irresponsible with our tax dollars.
The response to the suggestion of such cuts was an automatic recoil at the idea by Socialists who think that the march towards Socialism should have no end.
If you want to see what “No End” Socialism
is, what unbridled and unchecked government, who has continually moved towards Socialism looks like, just look at.......
Oh, you thought I was going to say Venezuela????
.....No....
Just look at France. France is what happens when you continue to promise your citizens more and more free stuff and then suddenly realize that you cannot afford it. Yellow vests is what happens, when migrants and citizens who have been accustomed to generous government handouts, see those handouts scaled back.
France has the additional strain like all other EU Nations of supporting millions of immigrants as well as French citizens who are on public assistance, and they also have an additional strain of an economic downturn placed upon them caused by a broke and indebted government trying to generate more tax revenue by burdening their economy by gradualism, and ever increasing taxation and regulation.
They stress their government even more when they attempt to add more benefits or increase benefits that they cannot afford, leading one to ask, “Has anyone in The French Government ever had to balance a checkbook?”
Nearly every Socialist Nation eventually fails, because they can’t balance their checkbooks. The only ones that survive have had to scale back Socialism and moderate it. They are still in the red, but they slow the bleeding at least, when they moderate expenditures. Slowing and then stopping the bleeding will save The Patient.
America is already at that point. We essentialily are already a Socialist Nation. You may call America Socialist Lite for context but we have a great deal of Socialism already in America.
So when President Trump tells you “We will never be a Socialist Nation”. He means we will never be a Venezuela or Cuba or a failed Soviet Union. He means Socialism has to be held in check, scaled back but never eliminated because we do need a Social Safety Net.
If you want to preserve that Social Safety Net, you have to defend The Border. You have to preserve Social Safety Net Dollars for Citizens
That is not a racial issue. It’s an issue of survival, but not just for America, but for the little bit of Socialism we do have. “More Free Stuff” is not an option. It is a reckless political slogan.
You cannot have Socialism and open borders. You cannot have Socialism and unrestrained spending.
So to the Left, I say, “If you like The Little bit of Socialism we do have, then you better get your head out of the sand and help The Right fight to defend it, help us to keep it towards the black instead of constantly operating in the red.”
Call it SocialismCare if you like. If you want that to last, if you want to keep your Socialism, you can, but then you better be responsible with the revenue we have to pay for and maintain those Socialist Systems. The alternative is becoming France, and the failure to respond to a wake up call like that, is Venezuela.
But common sense isn’t common these days. We’d rather call each other names instead, myself included. Am I right?
Of course I am.
