Nation's Two Leading Socialists Meet at the White House, Conclude Everything Is Bush's Fault

RUSH: Now, while all this is going on, two of the leading socialists in America met at the White House today, Bernie Sanders and Barack Hussein O. Now, I don't know what the occasion was. Do you know why Bernie went there? There's something not right about this. (interruption) Is that what it was? Okay, so Obama praised Hillary, almost sounded like an endorsement. Of course, 'cause did you hear what Hillary's saying? Folks, I'm here to tell you right now, there's not gonna be an indictment on Hillary. The FBI's gonna have to revolt, because it isn't gonna happen.

Hillary's out there saying, "You know what? You know who would be the next greatest judge on the Supreme Court? It would be Barack Obama." So Obama comes back and practically endorses Hillary, and Bernie says, "Wait a minute, wait a minute." So Bernie requested a meeting, meeting of fellow socialists in the White House, they had the meeting today. Bernie is not committing to the next Democrat debate, by the way. But it's not because the moderators are gonna be unfair so it's not news. But here's what Bernie said after finishing his meeting with his fellow socialist.

SANDERS: Seven years ago, when President Bush left office, this country was hemorrhaging 800,000 jobs a month. We were running a $1.4 trillion deficit, largest in our country's history. And, by the way, sometimes we forget, the world's financial system was on the verge of collapse. It's also important to remember how far we have come in the last seven years.

SANDERS: -- discussed this morning, a number of issues, foreign policy issues, domestic issues, occasionally a little bit of politics. But I enjoyed the meeting and I thought it was a very positive and constructive meeting.

RUSH: Okay, so the two leading socialists in America concluded, "It's still Bush's fault." I mean, that's the essence of it. The nation's top two socialists meet at the White House, conclude everything remains the fault of George W. Bush.

First, note that former low-information Senator Obama, and likewise low-information incumbent Senator Sanders, are excellent examples why the ill-conceived 17th Amendment should never have been ratified.

Now let us talk about how major problems with federal spending could have been completely avoided.

With all due respect to mom & pop, for many generations parents have not been making sure that their children are being taught the Supreme Courts relatively simple clarification of Congresss limited power to appropriate taxes. And this lack of knowledge by citizens, in conjunction with the 17th Amendment, has led to a major abuse of voting power by citizens for electing federal presidents and lawmakers as per the following explanation.

From a related thread . . .

Patriots, please 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.

”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.

Based on the Courts statement above, here is a rough approximation 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 News, should not be reporting multi-trillion dollar annual federal budgets without mentioning the Supreme Courts clarification of Congresss limited power to appropriate taxes in budget discussions.

The problem is that the media, including Fx News, is taking advantage of low-information citizens who do not understand that the federal government does not have the constitutional authority establish most of the social spending programs that corrupt candidates for federal office promise voters if these candidates are elected.

Remember in November !

When patriots elect Trump, or whatever conservative they elect, they need to also elect a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will work within its Section 8-limited powers to support the new president.

Also, consider that such a Congress would probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
