The Climate Change Scam doesn’t seem to hurt AOC or Bernie Sanders.

All government spending is discretionary including social welfare programs, defense, payments to the UN and other organizations, salaries of government officials, and even payment on the national debt.

The concept of mandatory spending allows programs to avoid scrutiny thereby becoming corrupt and wasteful. DOGE has shown there is massive fraud in Social Security, Medicare, and other “mandatory” social welfare programs.

As for the national debt, every nation unable to control deficit spending repudiates some or all of the national debt. If this nation does not rebuild its manufacturing base, and reign in government spending, a future president and Congress will face the choice of hyper inflation or bankruptcy.

  1. If the fed will lower interest rates, that would help reduce the interest on the debt.
  2. If Doge finds and stops significant frauds in the "mandatory" spending that will help.
  3. If Trump rakes in significant tariffs and/or gets more production occurring in the US, that won't reduce mandatory spending but it provides more revenue to pay for it.

Their appeal is in resentment, dissent, and discord. To acquire a following, they need someone to blame. They need a mob to whip into a frenzy. You never see them telling the crowd what they can do to make the world a better place. They only scream about what’s wrong with it and that it all needs to come down. The worst thing that can happen to them is that things actually do go well and there’s nothing to complain about.

If I was to cheer on a democrat I would say, “Go for it man, JUMP! You can do it!”

The Democrats have become the party of the insane. They push idiocies like men can have babies and become women to compete in women’s sports, wearing cloth masks and standing 6 feet apart prevents the spread of a virus, burning of cities is to be tolerated and the police are to be defunded, flooding the nation with unvetted aliens and lamenting efforts to deport violent criminal aliens and force us to accept these as normal and good. Add to this many Democrats believe that Trump is Hitler and a dictator and it would be generally OK” to assassinate him or to overthrow the government to “save democracy« Any rational person would see this as total onsanity.

Disgovernmentizing.

Back in 1955 you had to actually earn your own living. But then it was still possible.

The big deal then was:

NO CREDIT CARDS

You had to save up to purchase a house, buy a car, get a refrigerator, go to college and/or earn your way through--tuition, room, and board. Or borrow funds with security to back it up if you guessed wrong.

Not for the weak or the wicked. Drugs outside of booze or smokes was not an option. Widespread charity filled the income gap, as did reading for enjoyment, not youtube or fentanyl.

What passed as "Democrats" had to do the same as everybody else.
