America must borrow $1.75 to buy coffee
Oh America, when you go to buy that $6.20 morning coffee you will need to “borrow” $1.75 to pay for it.
Thank God you have an unlimited credit card. But your credit card balance is now an eye popping $34 trillion, the U.S. national debt. America, this is troubling.
President Joe Biden and the Democrats, through their failure to recognize a clear invasion and allowing illegal immigrants to rapidly increase our debt, are making it worse.
Biden has mastered the game of politics. He has been in the “game” for over 50 years. He has said, “I could close the border now,” if he got what he wanted in exchange. But that is bargaining with our safety. He wants to help other countries protect their borders before making U.S. borders secure.
Immediately after taking office, Biden reversed policies at the border that have been effective. He has refused to use executive orders and/or the military to secure our borders. This would both protect the American people from people harboring ill will toward America and help save America financially. Instead, Biden and the Democrats are throwing gasoline on the fire known as the financial instability of America.
Using just a tiny portion of our nearly $1 trillion National Defense Appropriations to truly protect America in an old fashion manner by protecting our borders is the prudent way to start.
During the Biden Administration an unprecedented 13 million unwanted illegal immigrants have crossed or attempted to cross into America with millions whose whereabouts are unknown.
Today, illegal immigrants are being used as weapons.
Of late, many of the illegals arriving in America have been Russians, Chinese, and thousands from around the world, thanks partially to flights arranged by Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega, who is no friend of America.
The Republican proposed House Bill HR 1 failed to even get a vote in the Democrat-controlled Senate, and the so-called “bipartisan bill” – Senator Mitch McConnell’s gift to Biden – was such a pathetic measure it failed to even get a vote in the Republican-controlled House. While Biden and Democrats are satisfied to blame Republicans, obviously there is much more work to be done on immigration reform.
Democrats, before there was asylum, before there were immigration laws, there was a document known as the U.S. Constitution. Biden is sworn to uphold it.
The constitution clearly states that “the United States must protect each state from an invasion.” Biden and Democrats, stop obfuscating the issue.
Cities and states must balance their budgets (some have rainy day funds). Draconian methods must be used to pay for the surge of illegal immigrants from the border. The massive numbers of migrants represent a huge cost to states.
The American people, if given a choice, would not fork over a single penny in increased taxes to pay for those who have invaded America. Biden and the Democrats know that. It would be political suicide for the Democrats. So, they have to circumvent matters. Their warped solution is to use an already bloated Medicaid fund.
When the Medicaid Bill became law in the 1960s (healthcare for the indigent), it was intended for Americans, not invaders.
After a 10% increase in 2022 we had more than $800 billion in Medicaid expenses, soon to be a trillion dollars of a $6+ trillion overall budget expense.
Let us not forget that we must make interest payments on our $34 trillion national debt as both the debt and interest payments on that debt are rapidly increasing.
So, as you finish that cup of coffee ask yourself, America, how long can you continue doing this – financially going in the wrong direction?
As Federal Reserve Bank Chairman Jerome Powell said recently, “It is unsustainable.”
