Free Republic

Can just shoot themselves and their supporters. They do it with school shootings.

Exactly.

Agree. Some rang the alarm, but the media chooses who gets heard, all the way up to this past election when it has started to turn.

But, they’ll probably just buy thise up, too, eventually.

Eisenhower added 0%.

That’s fascinating when you think of post war spending

Bush is the one who let spending spiral out of control. We were asleep at the wheel. They justify it with a war or a disease, and then they don’t return to prewar or predisease levels.

16% of the total... so about 6 trillion in the 80s and 90s.
They got the ball rolling, and then each president afterwards is about 19% just on their own... Biden in for years was 19%. Trump + covid was 20%. Obama was 19%.

It’s crazy what happened after borrowing and spending became the rule.

Believe it or not, the usa spends more of its gdp on government than communist china does. And France far more.

Something is weird here. 79% of the responsibility for the 37 trillion deficit lies with administrations since the Bushes.

OUTSTANDING!

You still have to vette each individual by law, and there’s the nation first crossed rule. Unless fleeing Mexico or canada there’s no overland route that benefits them. So, haiti perhaps is the only nation,and they have DR and a bunch of other islands closer.

Rand Paul is an idiot-savant

Let’s hope she’s right.😂

dumb idea. I don’t believe in subsidizing. Absolutely don’t believe in taxing either.

Massie is a democrat in sheep’s clothing

The fact is that immigration, tariff, budget, etc. are all constitutional powers of congress. Same with regulating judges. But congress has handed those powers off. Why? Because they’re totally incapable of responding quickly.

Sorry. In short, A table of organization and equipment is a mandated list of the strict number of people and pieces of equipment each unit can have.

Is a state department necessary? I’d vote “yes.”

Should there be an ambassador to every nation? Not necessarily. Staffing would be considerably cut in a for-profit business.

The military’s strict MTOE system should be imposed on all departments if it isn’t already.

Every effort at these sites should be blown up. Forever.

Typical democrat flip flop. But, we conservatives do the same with the filibuster and other things. We did so with Biden’s student debt relief.

Whose ox is getting gored?
