Why promote a minimalist government – “It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.” Thomas Sowell

Anyone notice how student debt is propagandized as an act of nature that afflicts students who were innocent of getting into financial straits? Even FN is bamboozled by the Dems and the almost hysterical reporting in the lamestream on this issue. Those poor students played no part in voluntarily signing up for those loans. No siree, they were struck down as if by a dreaded disease, blindsided into a terrible state of affairs, sorta like getting Covid or having your house devastated by Katrina. And now the national response to those fiscally innocents wailing about their wallets has to be another vote buying dip into the public purse to forgive their debts. And, oh yes, Trump is guilty for not having done it last year. And here’s the solution sent by a reader.
Biden’s spending spree is definitely designed to swing the nation’s double dummies into believing that he is the one who is reviving an already revived and ready-to-roar economy. Again, the purpose is to buy some near-term votes for the 2022 election with a handful of good quarterly bumps to the GDP. What the lightly reads neither understand nor pay attention to is what this massive near-term spending portends. Even liberal economists agree that these initial spurts will guarantee that the rest of the 20s will be mired in ‘a future of secular stagnation’. The next 8 to 10 years will then see GPD growth under 2%, hearkening back to the Jimmy Carter years. The anti-American Dems are all for that because it will mean that the US will not have the money to properly fund its military against China and Russia, and to complete securing our southern border against all who will cross it illegally to a waiting basket of welfare benefits not available to American citizens. The policy is designed to keep America divided with an increasing cohort of Democrat voters who will guarantee that we will become a socialist-bound one-party state, you know, sorta like California.

[8jun21 update] The Dems and their constituents – both lightly read and dismally educated – are in terminal denial that America’s Left has put the country on the road to Marxism. This strong belief is repeated continuously on their lamestream media, even though evidence ignored pours in daily. The latest can be seen in their grassroots being convinced to pine for new and stronger measures of censorship to established for national media. In the 8jun21 Union (here), local leftwinger Linda Schuyler Horning (“Fox News was established to launch its assault on American democracy.”) calls for re-establishment of the Fairness Doctrine and formation of a new federal Truth Commission to specify and filter what you and I can consume from the news and entertainment media. In Dangerous Ideas: A Brief History of Censorship in the West, from the Ancients to Fake News, Eric Berkowitz writes, “What emerges from Dangerous Ideas is that ideological terms like blasphemy, subversion and hate speech are impossible to define. Thus there are never clear guidelines for censorship, which is inevitably inconsistent and often absurd.” (more here) As I said, the evidence abounds for our current march to authoritarian Marxism, and maybe worse.
