National Debt and America’s Self Immolation

National Debt As A Symptom.

Here’s my analogy for the National Debt and the situation in which we find ourselves.  The America taxpayer is the Simp in the Friendzone.  His Congressmen is the Hot Girl. 

The rising debt of the Unites States is unsustainable.  No one disputes this.  I’ve been writing and talking about this for years.  During the Obama years, The Powers within The Republican Party promised to take care of this if the voters only gave them the House of Representatives.  The American voter complied.  Then they reminded the voters that there are two houses in the legislature.  We were told that these problems would be handled if we only gave them the Senate.  Done. Well, then we were reminded that we would need veto-proof majorities in both houses because the Marxists still held the Whitehouse. Well, that would be impossible. How about if we just vote you into the White House, then?  

With no more hoops for him to jump through, the Republican controlled House and Senate told the American taxpayer, “I would just hate to lose you as a friend.”

Voting Harder Doesn’t Work.

Never mind that the Marxists always seem to get at least parts of their agenda passed regardless of which party holds The Executive Branch, The Legislature, or The Judiciary.  No, no the “good guys” needed the whole shebang.  Well, they got it in 2016 and held it for two years.  Did they repeal the deficit exploding abomination of the “Affordable” Care Act?  No.  In fact, some, in a fit of spite, deliberately subverted the will of the people.  Nothing like a vote on the Senate floor to settle a not-so-old score.     

The System will collapse at some point. Those in power know this. Our “leaders” response always seems to be to some version of “vote harder.”  Sure.  If only we put the “right people” in place, things will get better.  Taxes will come down, the government will cut expenses, we’ll secure our borders, yadda… yadda… yadda. Send more money, go on a National Review cruise.

If only she knew how I felt.  

She knows how you feel, bruh.  She doesn’t care.  And she never will. You just don’t do it for her.

You can no more get our lawmakers to reduce the National Debt using logic and reason than you can reason a woman into being your girlfriend.  But, doesn’t she know how good this will be for her?  Again, she doesn’t care.

Our lawmakers don’t care.  One would think that after decades of crippling National Debt, they would have done something by now.  They haven’t.  And they won’t.  Because, as with the Hot Girl, there is a different agenda at play and you simply don’t figure into it.  

Sure, there was that brief – and I mean brief flash in the mid-nineties where we thought Newt Gingrich would save us.  They defanged him pretty quickly, didn’t they?

Some Interesting Facts

• The National Debt stands as of the writing, at 31.5 trillion Dollars. This is 100 billion dollars over the artificially imposed “debt ceiling.”
• The Administration and Congress will add an additional 1 trillion dollars to the debt in 2023.
• The U.S. Budget totals 5.7 trillion dollars for this fiscal year.
• Only 16% of the Budget is discretionary spending. The rest is mandated by law.
• 320 billion dollars will go towards paying interest on The National Debt.

“Why?” You may ask.

Using Occam’s Razor – the simplest explanation is usually correct – let’s confront one possible reason the National Debt continues to grow: those with the power to do something about it, want it that way.  Again, because there is a different agenda, and the fiscal health of The United States doesn’t figure into it. The liberty that is our birthright – wait for it – doesn’t… figure… into it. They fully understand that increasing debt to this level will destroy the nation. Just like unchecked immigration. So why? Occam’s razor again. They want to see this nation destroyed so they can rebuild it according to their vision.

This is where we find ourselves as a nation. Imagine your bank adding principal to your mortgage, without allowing you to purchase additional property.  Or allowing you to invest the new funds.  In fact, you don’t even get to see the additional money.  It simply appears on your statement one month.  Additional debt with no additional benefit to you.  That, is essence of our National Debt.  The taxpayer is forced to assume more and more debt without any additional benefit.    

Money is the conversion of Labor into Capital.  Debt is Capital promised against Future Labor.  If the Future Labor tied to Capital does not materialize, then that Capital becomes worthless.  Is there enough Labor in the pipeline to continue funding this debt? This is where we are heading.

Selah.
