Question of the Day

Bush, Obama, and Trump used 9/11, the Great Recession, and Covid as excuses to massively raise spending levels, respectively, yet the bulk of spending increases weren’t crisis-specific. As with taxes and taking of civil liberties, the government will always use crises to put through changes the population normally wouldn’t accept. Don’t expect spending to go back to normal levels after Covid calms down. Expect Joe Biden to leave annual spending a couple trillion higher than Trump’s budget in 2019, but it will probably be below 2020 total levels when factoring in “Covid relief” packages and increased entitlement spending (due to more people out of work). Biden can then claim he “cut” spending when in fact he massively increased it. The same technique was used by Obama in 2009. Bush had authorized the emergency trillion dollar TARP program to deal with the 2008 housing crisis, which Obama added in to to set a new baseline spending level. Of course, if they didn’t have such a corrupt, lapdog media covering for them, they wouldn’t get away with it.

Random Thoughts of the Day

The mainstream media & democrat politicians are so insistent on lockdowns and closings because they want to spread feelings of misery, hysteria, and chaos in anticipation of the November election. We know this, but there’s another reason–numbers. Keeping the economy & schools as closed down as possible distorts national numbers of economic health–GDP, budget deficits, unemployment, productivity, and so on. This gives easy talking points for November to not only Joe Biden but all Democrats running for office. Not only that, but if Biden is elected, it makes it easy to claim success of his programs as he’s given credit for improving numbers. In other words, as the Covid-19 nonsense fades, the economy will naturally pick up regardless of who is president, causing jobs to be created, GDP & productivity to increase, and tax revenues to resume, which will bring down the deficit. In subsequent elections, Democrats can then say “See, look how well the economy does under Democrats compared to the Republican economy,” conveniently leaving out the coronavirus mess. The same thing was done with the Obama presidency. Recall that he took over in the deepest pit of the housing crisis recession and TARP spending bill. Despite the fact his policies caused one of the weakest recoveries in history, he was still given credit for “improving” the U.S. economy, with Democrat & media operatives conveniently leaving out any mention of the housing crisis.

Random Thought of the Day

If there’s one thing Trump and Republicans deserve to be criticized on, it’s their continued out-of-control spending. Republicans always promise fiscal restraint if they’re in power, but in never happens. Trump has to take a stand and shut down the government if things are ever going to change. And in a $4.3 trillion budget, they can’t find a few billion to build a border wall? Please, never trust their BS on this issue. The chances are 100% that Democrats will use the deficit as an issue in the midterms and 2020 presidential election. Without a doubt, they will say the Trump tax cuts are the cause. But watch the numbers, total revenues continue to increase even with the tax cuts. The deficit is solely caused by a government with no political courage to cut spending and balance the budget. We will surely pay for it down the road.
