Congress voted 357-22 Thursday to support Pelosi’s trillion dollar slush fund for NATO instead of $5 billion for a Mexico border wall -brassballs.blog

As Speaker of the House, Pelosi is in charge of divvying up NATO’s trillion
dollar slush fund. It is more than the U.S. defense budget. It is more than
the budgets of 27 of the 28 countries in NATO. Only the U.S. has a budget
of over a trillion dollars. The U.S. has been paying from 66 to 82.5 per
cent of the NATO budget since 2011. Both slabs of pork, the U.S. and NATO’s
defense budget, are courtesy of U.S. taxpayers. Five billion dollars to
support the Mexican border wall to protect American citizens has never been
voted on or approved. Sources are NATO and the Congressional Record.

They are spending money like it belongs to someone else, hey wait, it does belong to someone else………the taxpayers. Trump should grow a pair and veto this until he gets our wall.

Government Spending Doesn’t Create Economic Growth | Mises Wire

According to many commentators, outlays by government play an important role in the economic growth. In particular, when an economy falls into a slower economic growth phase the increase in government outlays could provide the necessary boost to revive the economy so it is held.

This should be understood in a high school economics class.😦

Donald Trump adds $1 trillion to national debt in 14 months – Washington Times

President Trump has now amassed his first $1 trillion in debt, crossing that ignominious mark late last week — and analysts said it’s just a taste of what’s to come after the tax-cuts and spending spree of recent months.

How ironic when we just watched the Socialist Democrats get a strong foothold in our House of Representatives. Are we not able to learn from even the most recent history, or have we lost that ability altogether?🤔😮

Margaret Thatcher on the True Duty of Government | Armstrong Economics

I have been asked many times why I was friends with Margaret Thatcher. I’ve also been asked if I have known any other politicians since who I was proud to call a friend. This video explains a lot as to why we were friends. We shared a view that really no longer exists in government be it among the Republicans in the USA or the Conservatives in the UK. I have not met any politicians ever since who truly understands the role of government and its impact upon the people. I suppose I am not suited for this time period. I cannot change the course of events for the whole. All I can do is watch the consequences of our own stupidity. I am proud to have met Maggie. She had a brilliant mind. I named that report “It’s Just Time” after her remark when we were discussing politics. She predicted Tony Blair would win in Britain long before he even appeared. When I asked her why, she replied, “It’s just time,” and that the Conservatives had been in power too long. Maggie addressed our 1996 World Economic Conference. For a head of state to come to our WEC and publicly address the audience was an endorsement of the fact that Maggie herself understood cycles existed.

The Clash Between Normal People & The Global Warming Crowd – Green Extremist Overlords | Armstrong Economics

There is an undertone lurking behind the rise of Donald Trump in the US, the Brexiteers in the UK, Marine Le Pen in France, political re-alignments in Denmark, and the election of Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil. Additionally, there is the change in governments in Mexico, Malaysia, and the civil unrest in Romania. They are all joined by the sudden rise of the “Yellow Vests” in Paris, who are spreading internationally. The combination of these events show that an increasing number of people are fed up with who many call the “Green Overlords.” They have been out to reduce population and the living standard of the average person. There is a general rise in civil unrest, which is driven by decades of raising taxes on the tax payers and destroying the retirement of people who worked their entire lives. The middle class has been battered by the Green movements who are sheltered, enjoying the air conditioned and heated offices of the UN and Greenpeace. These Green elites have become known as the “Green Overlords” and have been supported by people like Al Gore, the Clintons, Obamas, corporate media pretending to be the free press, and of course Hollywood. In Europe, they have imposed taxes per head on cows and a 2020 deadline to move to electric cars. Their European champions have been Merkel in Germany; Prince Charles in the UK, former PM David Cameron, the BBC in Britain, and Macron in France. In Canada, Trudeau imposed a $1,000 global warming tax per home/apartment. Many have seen being Green as a justification for more tax revenue. This group of Green Overlords has created a powerful global network to wage an endless war on the on the combustion engine as well as coal and nuclear power. They are reversing the basic, cheap, reliable electricity that the entire world has relied upon. They have attacked farmers and fishermen in a real effort to reduce the food supply in hopes of reducing population growth. They take their theory from mice who are known to have fewer offspring when the food supply declines. They have waged a war to tax the diesel vehicles. All of this has reduced jobs, and then politicians believe that allowing the importation of “refugees” will increase the tax rolls. They have waged a war and conquered schools and universities to instill their propaganda in the minds of the younger generation. They even created environmental degrees for jobs that do not exist. Their global warming dogma has taken over the government, the media, and education to push their agenda. The rise of the Yellow Vests is clearly a direct confrontation against this Green Overlords’ agenda.
