The debt has risen over 5 trillion since Boehner became Speaker. The GOP has been a failure.
The reason Republicans can’t get spending under control is because they have no actual regard for their oaths, and they are therefore not ever at all interested in asking the key question: “Is this bill constitutional?”
Put government back within its constitutionally-enumerated limits, and the spending and debt problems disappear.
“I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.”
— James Madison, the father of the U.S. Constitution
In the eyes of the government, taxpayers aren't tapped out unless they are taxed 100 percent. Maybe even more, government (local, state and fed) just don't care. They'll take all our money without thinking of the consequences.
The eGOP and Obama claimed the this year’s deficit would be $450 billion, but the second they release the debt ceiling it jumped over $1.1 trillion.
Once again, it’s time for "Federal Government Annual Budget 101,” the constitutionally limited power federal government's annual budget as the Founding States had likely intended for the budget to be understood.
Note that a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that Congress is prohibited from appropriating taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers. This is evidenced by the excerpt below.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
In fact, based on the Court’s statement above, here is a rough estimate of how much taxpayers should be paying Congress annually to perform its Section 8-limited power duties.
Given that the plurality of clauses in Section 8 deal with defense, and given that the Department of Defense budget for 2015 was $500+ billion, I will generously round up the $500+ billion figure to $1 trillion (but probably much less) as the annual price tag of the federal government to the taxpayers.
In other words, the corrupt media, including Obama guard dog Fx Noise, should not be reporting multi-trillion dollar annual federal budgets without mentioning the Supreme Court’s clarification of Congress’s limited power to appropriate taxes in budget discussions.
Remember in November !
When patriots elect Trump they also need to elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will work within its Section 8-limited powers to support the new president, including putting a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes.
Also consider that such a Congress would probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
The Federal Reserve along with our printed, fiat unbacked currency are the pillars of the debt-ridden, massive nanny state.
Fed.gov and its 1000 social engineering schemes could not exist without them.
We are not producing anything as in mass production with factories as everything is made China.
The way you produce wealth is through mass production in city sized factories , that's how you produce wealth not borrowing trillions from China(who is producing wealth with mass production in city-sized factories that could be in America instead)
Only Trump can save the USA now. Trump is risking all his fortune by taking on the establishment to save America. We shall owe him our jobs, wealth, property and freedom if he becomes president and builds the wall and stops China form ripping us off(just this will make America great again). Through great sacrifice Trump is risking it all his success, his happiness for America for our freedom! support Trump!
I’m of the opinion that we need a constitutional amendment that says we collect taxes based on the budget plus .01%. This would allow for proper punishment of over taxation plus a reserve find once things have been paid off. Maybe with a clause for .0001% after the debt is desolved.
Federal prison for UNIPARTY thieves. CRS confiscates all of their assets.
DEFUND their collectives, foreign and domestic.
All representatives can serve without pay and bennies until the republic is righted.
