Democrats Desperately Want To Create More Dependent Americans

America survives as a healthy, wealthy nation only if the majority of the population is willing to stand on its own two feet.

Long before we Americans pick a side politically, we adopt a rhetorical stance that matches our worldview. That stance becomes the filter through which we interpret everything we see and hear, shaping our preferences and our politics.

A. Dependents—those who believe in the primacy of the collective, where individualism is subordinated to the needs of the group. Their worldview echoes the “it takes a village” mentality.

B. Individualists—those who believe that responsibility begins and ends with oneself, and that we are meant to become the best version of who we are through our own decisions, actions, and consequences.

C. Amoral Pragmatists—those who choose the path of least resistance. They are situational, opportunistic, and guided more by emotion and convenience than by principle or ethics.

These three groups are roughly equal in size. Dependents form the backbone of today’s progressives. Individualists form the core of today’s conservatives. And the third group—the amoral pragmatists—constitutes the modern swing vote. They are highly persuadable, driven by emotional security, and often vote with their pocketbooks. During times of societal stress, this group becomes especially volatile, prioritizing safety and comfort over principle. High gas prices, war, and economic anxiety can swing them dramatically, and as a result, they frequently determine election outcomes.

For a society to prosper, it needs more individualists than dependents. But government policy has spent generations cultivating the opposite. Government, by its nature, expands. America’s safety nets—federal, state, and local—have grown steadily for more than a century, and many people, especially those in the third group, no longer see themselves as responsible for their own well-being to the degree their parents or grandparents

This has been going on for a very long time.

The real intent of LBJ's Great Society was to bribe black voters with government money to vote for once segregationists Jim Crow Democrats after the Civil Rights Act was passed. LBJ is famously quoted ,” I'll have the n****gers voting Democrat for 50 years” despite Democrats being the party of the KKK and Bull Connors.

Democrats expanded dependency under Nixon and Carter.

Ronald Reagan did his best to reform the system

Bill Clinton publicly stated that the Democrats should do everything in their power to make people dependent upon Government and he did so until Newt Gingrich's Contract With America broke 36 years of Democrat control of The House and forced Welfare Reform on Clinton.

President Bush did not enthusically enforce Welfare Reform and Barak Obama destroyed it and went on an epic expansion of entailment spending that has created our massive national debt

What people do seem to realize is the massive Stimulus bailout to offset the 2008 crash was intended to be a one time bail out but became a permanent spending line item codified in our spending due to Democrat chicanery

Democrats who controlled the Presidency, The House and The Senate used the reconciliation process to roll the stimulus funding over year after years until it becomes a baked in part of the budget and used the money as their own little slush fund for the corrupt and fraud ridden entitlement system explosion.

In many cases, the Democrats intentionally structured Obama and Biden era spending to facilitate fraud and theft by Democrat's and Democrat constituencies.

A perfect early example of this was the Federally Insured Student Loan program, which was the prototype of the Democrat fraud system we are seeing exposed..

One of Obama's first acts as President was to bring the student loan program under direct White House control and Obama used the student loans as piggy bank for Democrat theft and backdoor reparations.

However, the student loan program had one huge problem- the money was in the form of loans and not give away so the money ended to be paid back. The huge Obama era student loan fraud created a huge pool of bad loans that were lent to people who never had any intention of paying the loans back and many cases the “students” were nothing more than phantom borrowers receiving the loans under false identity.

Since Obama dropped most of the vetting requirements to be a qualified Institution of Learning to qualify for student loan funding, many of the new “schools” were the forerunner of the fraudulent Minnesota style “Quality Learing Center’ welfare fraud sham organizations who either colluded with the student loan recipients to split the loan money and convert it for non education use or the schools simply enrolled completely fictitious phantom students and took the money and ran.

Of course, after 6 years of this massive fraud the Obama Administration and the Democrats had a huge problem - a massive portfolio of bad loans to fraudulent or non existent borrowers.

Realizing the flaw in their fraud model, the Obama Era Democrats did two things to solve their problem

The first was to shift the money being used to fund the fraud from loans to pure give always so instead of traceable loans, the fraudulent entitlement spending became off the book money as soon as it was disbursed and laundered through individual state providers as we see in Minnesota.

The second was to start the Democrats insane Student Loan Forgiveness program. And while yes, when lending standards are dropped so low to enable fraud a lot of legit students got themselves sucked into the moral hazard of the Democrat easy money for nothing student loan fraud machine and became hopelessly indebted.

However, the Democrats primary interest in student loan forgiveness to is write off the fraudulent loans and get them off the books before investigators can uncover and expose the Obama era fraud and corruption in the student loan program.

Civid amped the fraud system up to 11 and created massive bi partisan support for the fraud as the Republicans decided that they wanted a piece of the action.

The huge Covid bail out, CARES Act and stimulus funding were by design structured to facilitate fraud and corruption and became the out of control, blatant in your face fraud and theft system we are seeing exposed and way over 50% of the money spent on these programs went to fraud - and much of the rest of the legit spending was just ordinary government waste and abuse spending.

And of course, the Democrats and Republicans were dead set on continuing this explosion of “emergency” funding into permanent , new normal spending baked in to the US annual budget via the reconciliation process just like they did with the 2008 Crash stimulus and bail out spending.

The vicious battle between President Trump and Congress in early 2025 was over President Trump's efforts to shut down the rolling over of the Covid era bailout and stimulus spending and the Uni Parties new Ukraine fraud and corruption piggy bank.

At the end of the day, we are still left with 1-2 trillion dollars a year of fraudulent or wasted annual spending but it is not a stretch to say that the Trump Team saved America from certain economic collapse by shutting down the Biden era money machines.

We owe this guy a huge debt of gratitude for this alone.
