…and they want everything they don't have, and they want everyone else to pay for it! Sounds kinda like overgrown spoiled brats, huh?!!
The recent shocking Democratic Primary victory of the so-called "Democratic Socialist" over the long-serving Democratic Congressman, whom many believed was in line to replace Nancy Pelosi as the leader of the Democrats, is a perfect case in point. Upon being surprised by her own unexpected victory, she proceeded to spout her "platform", which amounted to free everything for everybody, and let the government pay for it all! (Sounds kinda like a 28-year-old, overgrown spoiled brat, huh?!!) Of course we all know that the government has an infinite supply of money, and nobody really has to pay for all this,...it's all free!!! Whoopee!!! Free money for everyone! And nobody knew about this until this brilliant Socialist came along to tell us!!!
I'm reminded of the old adage, "If it seems too good to be true,... it is!" Wake up Socialists of the world! There is no free ride, you can steal from the rich with taxes, for awhile. But eventually those taxes will be paid for by you, and if you can't pay, your greedy politicians will simply inflate you into another deep depression, like in the 1930's, or worse! Then who will you tell about what you want, and can't have???
PART B--
I was thinking about the illegal immigration problem, and reflecting on what Vice President Pence told the Latin American nations he visited lately, where most of these immigrants come from. He told them that they had to stop allowing the mass exodus from their countries to the U.S., and I imagined that I could almost hear the collective yawn from his listeners! They seem to feel they have no incentive to do so!
Nicaragua receives nearly $28 million dollars in foreign aid, annually from us; Honduras receives nearly $88 million dollars from us; and Guatemala receives almost $100 million dollars annually!!! Purportedly, these State Department funds are intended to buy influence into the relations we have with those countries. But the State Department handles these funds as if they are automatic payments that these countries deserve, simply because they exist, regardless of their behavior to their own people, and to us, as well. It's time we let them know there is a responsibility that comes with the money! If they want to persecute their own people, either with their own police, or military, or if they are taking bribes from drug dealers to allow brutal criminality to run rampant, causing the immigrants to desperately turn to our country for relief, then why are we paying them money to do it??? Stop the foreign aid, until they correct whatever problem is causing these people to want out of their homelands!
Then we will be left with only El Salvador to deal with. I don't believe we are giving them any aid, but we can try Theodore Roosevelt's idea of the big stick approach. Offer them aid if they will stop whatever they are doing to drive their citizens to flee, and let them know that if they don't, we will stop them ourselves, militarily!!! We have a vested interest in the peace and stability of our neighbors, and if they belligerently refuse to cooperate, lets take them out!!!
