Government Gets it Wrong

Excessive Government Spending

FDR embraced Keynesian economics and Federal Reserve money printing to pay for WWII and inflation was the result and it didn’t stop.  LBJ used money printing to pay for the Vietnam War, the war on poverty and government funding of healthcare.  George W. Bush added $5 trillion to the debt with Middle East wars.  Obama added $9 trillion more to the debt with UN Agenda 21 implementation and mal-investments.  This money printing has enabled Congress to spend whatever it wanted and take on whatever liabilities it wanted and now government debt and liabilities need to be reduced.

Excessive Immigration

LBJ decided that the US needed more immigration because US demographics suggested that we needed more taxpayers to pay for the welfare state and government expansion.  Illegal immigration rose to 20 million. George HW Bush doubled immigration in 1989 to 1 million a year and legal immigration rose to 41 million.  Now 100 million working age US citizens don’t have jobs.  That is 38% real unemployment.

Myth of Economic Growth

Each year from 1950 to 2000, GDP growth, money printing inflation and wage inflation all averaged about 4%.  There was no progress, the cost of everything just went up.  The only increases in productivity came from the PC in the 1980s and 1990s.  Union wages for large US manufacturing companies became unsustainable

The Environmental Scam

The Endangered Species Act needs to be repealed and environmental regulations reduced. States should retake all federal lands, parks and monuments to make the federal government comply with the US Constitution (as written).

NAFTA

Large US manufacturing companies have known about labor costs in each country for some time, but in 1993 it looked like design and manufacturing processes could be off-shored to ensure competitive pricing, so these companies sent US jobs overseas.

Nobody suggested that we close the borders or put the brakes on legal immigration in 1993, because we were decimating our job-base.  US wages went flat and continue to stay flat, so household incomes are down $5000 a year due to flat wages and fewer jobs.

We do need to lower our Corporate Tax Rate from 35% to 10%, but we also need to remove all subsidies and tax breaks.

The Anti-Discrimination Scam

The Civil Rights Act needs to be repealed to keep Sharia Law from undermining US Law. This would end lawsuits.

The TPP Scam

The TPP trade deal needs to be defeated in the US Congress.  It would undermine US Law and replace the US Congress with an unelected, unaccountable UN global court.

The Global Warming Scam

This scam needs to be rejected and condemned by the US Congress as a hoax. Governments all signed up to the global warming scam in 1992 and few have since abandoned the hoax.  This UN piece of treason has cost these countries $Trillions and none of these governments have admitted their errors.

The Campaign Finance Scam

Only registered voters should be allowed to make campaign contribution to candidates for elective office and they should be restricted to make these contributions to those candidates who would appear on their ballots.  Let corporations, unions and special interests exercise their free speech on their own websites.

No Priorities

Government priorities should include highways, roads, bridges, storm sewers, reservoirs, sewage treatment, water treatment and clean water distribution.  Government should ensure that we have low cost, uninterrupted electricity and energy.  Instead we get poor maintenance and poor design. 

Government should not be given any other responsibilities until they can fix these basic infrastructure deficiencies.

The other legitimate functions like courts, fire and police are likewise ignored and working poorly.

Unconstitutional Laws 

The unconstitutional activities of government need to be stopped. Government continues to spend $trillions on healthcare, education, economic development and foreign aid and they are making a mess of these. Government has made the cost of healthcare and education unsustainable and these industries need to return to the free market for repair.

The free market sets prices.  When consumers spend their own money, they look at price and value and when the price exceeds the value they don’t buy it.  When the government pays for it, the prices rise beyond the value. 

Government needs to repeal laws that assume control over private citizen responsibilities and let the private sector and free market free to function.  Government should not steal land or money from private citizens or undermine the US Constitution or elective governance.  The US needs to assert its sovereignty and quit the UN.
