Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) blasted the House for passing foreign aid bills, arguing Congress is spending money that “we don’t have” and that the U.S. should be focusing on securing its own borders instead.

“We’re gonna further mortgage and plunder our children’s future, over $100 billion,” Johnson said during his Saturday morning appearance on NewsNation. “We spend close to $900 billion on defense, but every time there’s some kind of defense action seems like we need to do a supplemental.

Yeah, but how about closing the border?

That's where the big money is.

We're spending, at least, $1,000,000,000,000 a year on illegals.

That’s ok, it just gets taken out of the value of our currency.

It’s essentially a tax on all dollar-denominated savings of everyone in the world who holds US currency.

These people are all phonies. I doubt wven one of them would actually be the deciding vote of anything of consequence that would agree with the people and go against the establishment.

This is how democracy dies when they take our voice and our freedoms away. Our voice and what the American citizen wants means diddly squat among the DC swamp. They themselves have become dictators and they tell us how high to jump! WE HAVE NO REPRESENTATION IN DC!

Markist Dems don’t mind; they want to start a New World Order with a new currency anyway.

And yet, sheeple will keep voting for GOP a$$hats because if we don't the RATS will win. Well we voted GOP and they won the House yet the RATS still get whatever they want from the RINOS.

If you are an independent conservative the be independent. If your GOP rep is a POS like mine just short your vote or write your own name in. Go on FB and call them out. I am voting for GOP only at the State level to maintain our majority, GOP judges and Mark Robinson. If Trump is on the ballot he gets my vote anyone else and the GOP can pound sand. It's time to dump the GOP unless they start representing their constituents.

We have Owners!

“But there’s a reason. There’s a reason. There’s a reason for this, there’s a reason education sucks, and it’s the same reason that it will never, ever, ever be fixed. It’s never gonna get any better. Don’t look for it. Be happy with what you got. Because the owners of this country don’t want that. I’m talking about the real owners now, the real owners, the big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions.

Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don’t. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear.

They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying, lobbying, to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I’ll tell you what they don’t want: They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That’s against their interests.

Thats right. They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table to figure out how badly they’re getting f____ by a system that threw them overboard 30 years ago. They don’t want that.

You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly s——ier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it, and now they’re coming for your Social Security money.

They want your retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street, and you know something? They’ll get it. They’ll get it all from you, sooner or later, ‘cause they own this f____ing place. It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.

You and I are not in the big club. And by the way, it’s the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head in their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table is tilted folks. The game is rigged, and nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care.

Good honest hard-working people — white collar, blue collar, it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on — good honest hard-working people continue — these are people of modest means — continue to elect these rich co__s____s who don’t give a ____ about them. They don’t give a ____ about you. They don’t give a ____ about you. They don’t care about you at all — at all — at all.

And nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. That’s what the owners count on; the fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue ____ that’s being jammed up their assh___s everyday. Because the owners of this country know the truth: it’s called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it.”

Spending money they don’t have is what Congress does. This isn’t anything new.
