BIDEN’S $7.3 TRILLION NIGHTMARE

BIDEN’S $7.3 Trillion Nightmare

Joe Biden’s budget proposal is a campaign pitch that would be disastrous in practice.

by Nate Jackson   March 12, 2024

Our first thought when seeing Joe Biden’s $7.3 trillion budget proposal was that he must have transposed the numbers and meant $3.7 trillion. But then we remembered reality and our own warnings from four years ago — that “emergency” COVID spending would create a new floor for federal spending, and there would be no looking back.

When Biden took office, the national debt was $27.7 trillion, but here we are, $34.5 trillion in debt and counting, and all President Fiscal Responsibility wants to do is tax more and spend even more than that.

His budget represents an 18% increase over two years, and he’s proposing massive deficits as far as the eye can see. He wants spending to reach nearly 25% of GDP on federal outlays, which is a major increase over the 21% average of his 50 years in Washington. It’s also a lot more than tax revenue will provide — even at roughly 20% of GDP, which is far higher than the 50-year average of 17.3%.

Biden wants almost $5 trillion in tax hikes, yet that won’t even begin to fund his spending plans. This is the same guy who doubled the deficit last year and then boasted five times in his State of the Union address last week that he had “cut the deficit.” Heck, he’s got the gall to claim this budget proposal cuts the deficit by $3 trillion in 10 years. From what alternate reality?

GINGRICH – $1.9 TRILLION IN MISSING ASSETS – PENTAGON ASSETS

Friday, November 24th, 2023

 

 

Pentagon Audit Showing $1.9 Trillion in Missing Assets Signals Urgent Need Not for More Money but for Reform

By Newt Gingrich     November 23, 2023

NEWT GINGRICH

Mr. Gingrich, the Speaker of the House between 1995 and 1999, is the author of 42 books and chairman of Gingrich 360. For more commentary from Mr. Gingrich, visit Gingrich360.com

The accounting disaster is a reflection of layers of bureaucratic incompetence which are undermining and crippling American national security.

The new audit report about the Department of Defense is another signal that the Pentagon needs reform a lot more than it needs extra money. As the Hill reports, “1,600 auditors combed through DOD’s $3.8 trillion in assets and $4 trillion in liabilities, conducting some 700 site visits.”

Defense, like all government agencies, has to submit to mandatory audits, thanks to reforms passed in the early 1990s. The auditors “found that half of DOD’s assets can’t be accounted for,” the Hill adds.

Think of that statement for a minute. An estimated $1.9 trillion in defense assets can’t be accounted for. How much confidence can we have in a Department of Defense which can’t keep track of trillions of dollars’ worth of equipment and other assets?

 

The breadth of the Defense Department failure is astounding. There are 29 separate audits in the department. Comptroller Mike McCord says only seven passed. Four were conditional, and 18 audits completely failed.

OVERSEAS MILITARY MEMBERS GET PAY CUT WHILE ILLEGALS CASH IN

Saturday, October 21st, 2023

 

Can you believe this ?  Giving all this free  assistance to illegals while cutting benefits to our military.  Feel the burn yet ?   Nancy
October 20, 2023

Overseas US military members to get pay cut…again?

Some members of the U.S. military, especially those serving at some of the most expensive duty assignments, are set to receive a cut in monthly allowance designed to offset the high costs of living.  According to a report from Military.com, the Defense Department will make a second round of cuts to troops’ overseas cost-of-living allowances (OCOLA) next month, with the final cut coming on Nov. 15 and affecting members’ Dec. 1 paychecks.

It seems a bit odd — unfair, even — that those who are already sacrificing to protect their country are being asked to take multiple cuts in pay by the very nation that they are serving.  All the more so since, despite Bidenflation, so many others are getting freebies.  Students are having their government loans forgiven, addicts are receiving free crack pipes and other accoutrements…and illegal aliens are getting cash and services thrown at them as if out of an industrial-strength Pez dispenser run amok.

The state of Illinois, for example, is providing up to $9,000 in rental assistance over a six-month period, including assistance with moving in and a starter kit to furnish the apartment.  The Prairie State is funding temporary housing for “migrants,” including rented apartments and homes.  Moreover, the city of Chicago has allocated an additional $4 million to assist migrants in obtaining temporary housing, to add to the $38 million contributed by the state.

Perhaps if our military members serving overseas who’ve had their pay cut went AWOL and came across our southern border in the guise of illegal aliens, the Biden administration might fly them to the Land of Lincoln and set them up in a nice abode, partially furnished.

Semper Fi?

I guess that goes only one way.

STOP THE MARXIST TAKEOVER OF OUR MILITARY

Monday, October 9th, 2023
With the  extremely alarming events that  took place in Afghanistan and are now  taking place in the Middle East and the Ukraine, it is time to evaluate our military’s readiness.  The following video is intended as a wake up call to address the damage that  Marxism is having on our defenses.  Marxism can take many forms but it is troubling to hear our generals speak about white privilege and how the military needs to be more Woke.  Listen to the following speakers and come to your own conclusions.     One of the speakers in the video is Sam Faddis, a retired CIA operations officer.  I have recently sent out one  his articles – The War To End Israel.  If you haven’t read it, now might be a good time to catch up with him.  Also, if you agree with the speakers, please do contact your senators with your concerns about the numerous woke military officers that will be coming before the senate for confirmation.   Nancy

THREE ARTICLES RE THE BORDER

Monday, August 21st, 2023

 

The stupidity  and  deceptiveness of Biden and his administration is truly breathtaking !  Nancy
Biden Makes Truly Sneaky and Petty Move on Border Wall to Thwart GOP
Things at the border have just been getting worse. As my colleague Mike Miller reported, there’s an 800 percent increase of Chinese illegal aliens crossing the border. But Joe Biden doesn’t seem to care about it. What problem could there possibly be from such an influx of so many military-aged men from a country hostile to our interests?
On top of that, there’s been an increase of 33 percent in illegal alien encounters between June and July. In June, there were 99,539 encounters, and July had 132,652 encounters, according to the CBP data.
Now there’s more to the story of his continuing pettiness. The Democrat-led Senate passed a Republican bill agreeing to continue the wall — the “Finish It Act” as part of the defense appropriations past package in July. The Act says that the material Biden has left lying around to rust should be used to complete the wall or given to states like Texas to finish the wall. The fact that this provision made it through a Democrat-controlled Senate tells you how bad the border crisis is.
So what Biden is doing in response is truly despicable. He’s rushing to sell all the material now, at a loss, before the House can pass the Act and he would be forced to use it or give it to the states.
They’re selling them for peanuts on the down low through GovPlanet, an online auction house.
