Dear Friends,
It seems to me, instead of taxing us, or borrowing money, the US government could eliminate the Federal reserve, return to Constitutional money, then print and spend the increase in GDP. If GDP increases 3% then the government gets to spend 3% of GDP that year. Some will argue that it is exactly when GDP is down that government needs to spend more. To them, I say, poppycock. That Keynesian trope has been the siren call of the Twentieth and so far the Twenty first centuries. Such a cut in spending would necessitate other returns to Constitutional rule. Like the elimination of every function of government derived from Wickard v Filbern, the elimination of the welfare state and an end to the national security apparatus. In that way we could improve the lot of Mankind enormously.
Today, our voracious government wants to spy on our bank accounts, to make sure they are squeezing us for every penny, in case a few slip by. So much for being secure in our papers eh? The federal government has even contracted with Google to set up a keyword spy algorithm, on anyone using that tool of manipulation, disguised as a search engine. I might say, they are projecting their own criminality on us, but I won’t. Remember, tens of thousands of bureaucrats making 100k plus a year, with gold plated benefits, and 80% of their pay at retirement, depend on the taxes they take from our $30.00 an hour. Not to mention the politicians who’s pay amounts to hundreds of dollars a minute. Government’s imprudence leads inevitably to a multitude of other crimes against us.
Now the elite are again raising the debt ceiling, because the trillions they are spending this year, is just not enough. I wonder though, how much is enough when feeding a black hole? It is almost like the elite today are implementing the Cloward and Piven plan to bankrupt America? Had the political parties been reversed, the democrats would have left the republicans twisting in the wind. Not the loyal backstabber republicans, like Mitch, Cornyn and the other 9 swamp creatures. Those who seek to destroy this nation and our Constitution will always have allies in the establishment of both parties. To that end, trillions in counter productive spending, is just what doctors like Fauci ordered. What we often overlook is, now 1.5 trillion will be the minimum spending each year, any less would be a cut.
A true constitutionalist President would offer the same budget as Calvin Coolidge… obviously, adjusted for inflation. That would rattle the elite. Old silent Cal’s budget, if implemented today, would result in the laying off of 98% of the federal government and necessitate a return to Constitutional rule. The courts would stand in the way as much as possible. But if a constitutionalist movement paid as much attention to them as the progressives, like Joe Biden, they would be impotent to stop it. The media that calls itself unbiased would scream like a scalded cat. Since the people who pay their checks would lose power… and the ability to pay their checks. Even the cultural elites would throw a conniption fit, since they are universally communists today. Yup… Silent Cal’s 3% of GDP budget is just the ticket.
The central premise, that government can spend our money better than we can, is elitism. The elite think they should spend the money you and I earn. The opposite premise, that since we were smart enough to earn it, we are smart enough to spend it, is populism. We are best able to spend the money we make. A rational government wouldn’t spy on citizen’s, need unlimited spending or be so arrogant they demand our absolute obedience, even with our own bodies and children. Giving such clutching people unlimited money and power is stupidity writ large. Speak up, and demand they cut taxing, and especially… spending. By limiting spending to the growth in GDP and eliminating taxation altogether. If that happened, there would be a galactic rotation of power from the elite, to the people.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
