Democrats Gleefully Bankrupting America
Townhall.com ^ | May 2, 2022 | Tom Tradup

Posted on 05/02/2022 3:32:08 AM PDT by Kaslin

As our nation careens inexorably out of control under the “leadership” of resident Joe Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, only the most ill-informed voters who have stuck their heads in the ground like ostriches can fail to see that with each passing day…Democrats are pouring more gasoline on the fire of the looming financial bankruptcy of America.

The addle-brained Biden—whose embarrassing rhetorical disasters are continually covered up by his handmaidens in the media—has become so obviously a joke that he couldn’t even get through the White House Easter Egg roll last month without a staffer in an Easter Bunny costume having to rescue him from a questioner along a rope line. Really: the alleged “leader of the Free World” was literally pushed away from reporters by the Easter Bunny lest he blurt out another of his trademark malaprops… like his dangerously stupid comment that Vladimir Putin cannot be allowed to stay in power. (The Easter Bunny video went viral on Instagram and other outlets…but good luck finding it on MSNBC, CNN or Biden’s other electronic protectors.)

Prima facie evidence of the new media paradigm in Washington and New York was on display over the weekend as the White House Correspondents' Association dinner returned to the Washington Hilton. Politicians, ersatz “reporters” and B-list Hollywood celebrities like Drew Barrymore and Brooke Shields partied the night away in tuxedos and formal gowns…enjoying French wines and chef-inspired meals…while most normal Americans were at home worrying about how they can possibly pay their mortgages and food bills.

Of course, criticizing the total collapse of objective journalism as it relates to the Biden administration may subject this column to charges of “disinformation.” Bizarrely, our Department of Homeland Security is on the case…with an “internal working group” that mirrors the ‘Ministry of Truth’ in George Orwell’s dystopian novel “1984.” The unhinged nut tapped to head this effort is a woman named Nina Jankowicz; she is described by DHS secretary Alejandro “We have Operational Control of the Border” Mayorkas as eminently qualified to oversee the fight against disinformation.

Apparently, her credentials include depraved online posts of herself singing about her fantasies of having sex with a dead Harry Potter. Another of her online “songs” depicts Jankowicz delivering lyrics about sitting on a toilet. Call me irresponsible, but my guess is decent, God-fearing Americans from coast to coast do not look forward to having their political discourse being regulated by a person with such twisted, perverted views. But to Democrats, this is an “eminently qualified” person.

Meantime, even as gas prices at the pump continue to skyrocket and inflation is creating a crisis at the grocery checkout lines for families trying to feed themselves for another week…what is the Democratic plan to help Americans? Well, here are just a few of their ideas unfolding as this is written:

--Biden wants Congress to push through another “emergency” spending plan to ship $33 billion of weapons to Ukraine. Democrats won’t secure our own border with Mexico. Won’t stop rampaging urban gangs from preying on average citizens. But when it comes to funneling $33 billion overseas? Spend Spend Spend.

--Democrats are pressing Biden to “forgive” student loans of up to 40 million Americans (probably a coincidence, but this would be happening just before this year’s Midterm elections.) Spend Spend Spend.

--Democrats continue their war on the petroleum industry, but can’t find any proposal for windmills or electric cars they won’t fully fund. Spend Spend Spend.

--One Democratic proposal is to devote $100 million to building an airport in an Aleutian Island community that has no roads and only 75 full-time residents. Spend Spend Spend.

There’s an old bromide I first picked up as a student at the University of Alabama that perfectly sums up the fiscal nightmare the Democratic Party is constructing for America. It says, “Let’s get the hay down where the goats can get at it.” Simply put, anyone with half a brain who opts to vote for ANY Democrat in 2022 is an unindicted co-conspirator in the Donkey party’s unvarnished plan to bankrupt the United States of America. Period. End of debate.

This isn’t brain surgery, friends. These are the stark choices facing the USA this year, and nobody—not Nancy Pelosi, not Nina Jankowicz, not our "President" Joe Biden—can dispute them.

Democrats support ending Title 42 on May 23, which will result in a massive surge—at minimum an additional 18,000 per day—of illegal aliens flooding across our borders. Republicans want to protect the people of Texas, Arizona and other border states from this disaster.

Democrats want to mainstream “puberty blockers” and think promoting Transgender education and having biological men compete with biological women in sports is just swell. Republicans favor keeping traditional American values in place.

Democrats remain silent as George Soros-backed District Attorneys set hardened, violent criminals loose with no-cash-bail policies and refuse to condemn idiotic local laws allowing thieves to steal up to $950 a day from merchants with impunity. Republicans instinctively know that is insane and nothing short of Democrats endorsing anarchy.

From gun confiscation to embracing violent gangs preying on decent citizens to gender-bending idiocy (our newest Democrat-backed Supreme Court justice absurdly went on record as stating she “cannot define what a woman is”) America is heading over a cliff. Democrats are stepping on the gas. Republicans want to slam on the brakes.

Anyone who disagrees with one word of this article is—quite simply—wrong. America this year faces a midterm choice unlike any other, because the past 15 months of Democratic malfeasance have undermined American values in a way that nobody could possibly have imagined.

Even as many voters are already buying emergency food, solar generators, and other self-sustaining items to fend off potential crises ahead…it is well-past time to stand up and be counted at the ballot box.

Do you want the declining and disgraceful America of Joe Biden and his cronies for another two years?

Money quote.

Voting for dumblecrats in any year is problematic. Moreso, this year and in 2024.

If one were to believe that the Democrats hate America and want to destroy it in favor of a global government run by other (better) countries, then what should we expect in the 2022 fall elections?

I don’t see why the Democrats would not blatantly steal it again. They did it in 2020 and no one stopped them — not the GOP, not the states, not the courts. The people gathered on Jan 6, but that didn’t go so well, and chances are the people would be reluctant to try that again. So, would the Democrats expect consequences if they stole everything in 2022? I don’t think so.

And if the Democrats stole the election, tried to cement their control in congress and at all other levels of government — if there were consequences, how much would the puppet masters really care?

If you hate America and want to destroy it in favor of a global government run by other (better) countries then pushing the country into a complete political collapse, revolution or civil war — that would be a plus, wouldn’t it? So, you either succeed in stealing additional political power for yourself in 2022, or else you collapse the whole country. That’s a Win-Win if you hate America.

I say they can steal again and they don’t have to be subtle. Even if everyone opens their eyes and everyone (everyone!) says, “My God, they stole it!” it just doesn’t get in their way.

Democrats have help, don’t they?

The letter after the name means jack anymore.

The only reason political parties still exist is to give voters the illusion of choice.

A pol is either loyal to our former republic or to Deep State.

Most of our pols, D and R, are loyal to Deep State.

The writer needs to call out RINOs with Democrats. Both are committed to the Great Reset/2030.

Correctimundo.

But even a nominal R is better than ANY D. The options are truly limited.

IMO - At the current pace of (fill in the blank) degradation, America won’t make it intact through 2023.

Sometimes the bad guys gain the upper hand. Total annihilation is at hand.

Their apparent advantage bears the seeds of their own eventual defeat. It’s going to be a rough and rocky road, fasten your seat belts and prepare for serious bruising.

At this point, even if the Republicans gain a tremendous electoral victory, the aftershocks are going to reverberate for years to come.

The US is $30.4 trillion in debt right now. It is on pace to be $30.7 trillion by year’s end if nothing changes. Of course, things will change and I suspect the US will be $32.7 by year’s end.

Even when the pubies win back Congress, you still have this doddering old fool in the White House with his Ho VP. I doubt the Senate democrats will vote to remove Biden if impeached in the House. If they do God help us with Harris as President.

I live in NC and the democrats are campaigning hard. Their mantra is “fighting to keep voting rights for blacks alive”. They’re desperate. They know what’s coming down the pipe if cheating doesn’t work.

"...I say they can steal again and they don’t have to be subtle. Even if everyone opens their eyes and everyone (everyone!) says, “My God, they stole it!” it just doesn’t get in their way..."

True.

Leading up to the 2020 election, I felt the Left was going to pull out the stops, call in every chit, engage in bold illegality to avoid giving non-Leftists (especially one like Donald Trump) an additional four years.

I felt they had nothing to lose, and were going to dare this country to call them to account and punish them.

They won that dare.

I am still astonished that they did. An openly stolen election, they boldly did it, and...got away with it.

I do not see any reason they will not attempt to do it again, and succeed.

What is not forbidden, and backed by action to forbid it, is effectively and in practice allowed.

You have not figured in unfounded liabilities which equates to $160t.

I did, you just don’t understand them. Those are future obligation years down the road and not thins year’s obligations.

Like Marley in Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Story, anytime an American supports or votes for ANY increase in government spending, taxes, authority, or regulation, at ANY level (Federal, State or Local), they forge another link in the chains of their own slavery.

Total government spending (Federal, State, and Local) is now 45% of GDP. That is not sustainable, and we can no longer pretend we will “grow” our way out of it.

To remain in power, Stalin and Mao were forced to dial it back and allow for more capitalism when the Communist governments in the Soviet Union and China exceed 40% of their GDP.

We can either immediately set about reducing the size, scope, and spending of government by 50% in an expeditious and orderly fashion, or have it forced upon us in complete chaos by the coming economic collapse.

Silly statement. The only thing want to protect is their wortless asses. The republicans could care less about us, or the fate of our nation. Trump was the answer, yet they fought him at every turn. They are hoping for dem victories in the mid-terms. Gives them another excuse to do nothing but beg us for money for their re-elections so we can get the dems, “next time”. Losers one and all.

That’s what unfunded liabilities means. At some point they will be cashed in. Our geniuses in DC don’t care. They have their millions and will ride or be carried away into the sunset.
