The “Green
New Deal”, which, by the way, is endorsed by EVERY Democrat candidate currently
running in 2020, represents the ultimate dream for Liberals; by that, I mean,
of course, Socialists (by THAT, I mean Democrats). It is a pie-in-the-sky
manifesto of Marxist wealth confiscation, loaded with lots of promises and
precisely ZERO benefits. It is government everything, virtually eliminating
private……anything.
In short,
it IS a demand for Statism. And the message from Democrats is absolutely clear:
if you put us in charge, we WILL take everything you have!
Of course,
Democrats are busy telling us that we’ll lose no freedom and “no, this is not
Socialism”, but consider:
- - What happens to the
person who says, “No, I will NOT upgrade my home (or business) to environmental
standards.”?
- - What happens to the
people who insist on NOT giving up beef?
- - What happens to the
people who refuse to give up their gas-guzzling car?
I’ll tell
you exactly what will happen: the government will FORCE you to comply. Period.
Don’t think this could ever happen? Try not paying your taxes and see what
happens.
But, folks
need to understand HOW the Democrats plan on making captives of the American
people:
BREAK US,
FINANCIALLY.
Anyone
remember when President Reagan REFUSED to take SDI (the Strategic Defense
Initiative…. “Star Wars”) off the table during the nuclear arms talks? Ever
wonder why? Ever wonder why we had such a massive military buildup during that
administration? The reason was as simple as it was brilliant: to force the U.S.S.R.
to spend against us and, in doing so, break their financial back.
And it
worked. The U.S.S.R. collapsed.
That is precisely
what Democrats wish to do. But, this time, to US.
Should
Democrat seize control of the government, they WILL slowly and steadily grow
until we can no longer sustain that growth. At that point, we will be powerless
to resist. At that point, we won’t be “subjects”, we will be captives.
If you run
the numbers on what the 2020 candidates are already proposing, you’ll gain a VERY
clear picture of this goal and it’s timetable: Consider some numbers:
- - “New Green Deal”: $9.4
Trillion/year https://www.americanactionforum.org/research/the-green-new-deal-scope-scale-and-implications/
- - Medicare For All: $3.2
Trillion/year. (Based on current cost)
These two
programs, alone, will cost taxpayers $12.6 Trillion per year. Then add some
current programs:
- - Social Security: $1.9
Trillion (CBO)
- - Federal Pensions: $1.0
Trillion (CBO)
- - Welfare: $356 Billion
(CBO)
- - Interest on the debt:
$262 Billion (CBO)
- - Education: $156 Billion
(CBO)
These add
another $3.67 Trillion per year.
Now,
because they are Liberals and, well, you HAVE to cut SOMEWHERE….
- - Let’s go ahead and END
the Military.
- - Let’s ALSO end ALL
Discretionary Spending.
- - Let’s
ALSO dump:
o
Energy
and Environment spending
o
Housing
and Community spending
o
Transportation
spending
o
Food
and Agriculture spending
o
Veterans’
benefits
o
Science
spending
o
International
affairs spending
Where does
this leave us? With a Federal Budget of $16.3 Trillion. (And, each year, this
number will grow.)
To put this
in perspective, consider two numbers:
- - The
2019 Federal Budget: $4.4 Trillion (CBO)
- - The
total personal income of ALL U.S. citizens, combined: $16 Trillion. https://www.statista.com/statistics/216756/us-personal-income/
In other
words: Democrats are proposing to spend 100% of the TOTAL income of the United
States while STILL running a $3 Billion DEFICIT. PER YEAR.
President
Trump, in his first two years in office, has begun the process of dismantling
the Democrats’ march toward a Marxist state. THIS is why they hate him AND his
supporters. If he allowed to continue, he represents their greatest threat: a
restoration of the Constitution and a freed citizenry.
2020 will
be the MOST important election in our lifetime.
