Why are the decisions of Congress so bad? It's because of the printing press. I was talking to one of my Democrat colleagues and I told him that we have to decide if we want to help the poor in our country or Ukraine. He responded by saying that we shouldn't have to make a choice. But we do have to make a choice. The reason we are $36 trillion in debt is because you think we can do it all. Which comes first, Ukraine or America? We can't do both because we don't have the money. The taxes that come in only cover Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and food stamps. Everything else is borrowed. Maybe able-bodied people need to go back to work. Maybe there needs to be a work requirement and food stamps shouldn't buy junk food.

This is a disgusting situation where Americans are funding the slaughter in Ukraine. Some officials want to send family members to fight there, even though Ukraine isn't in NATO. Putin hasn't threatened Europe.

Politicians need to understand that high inflation is caused by the federal government, not the private sector. Wealthy individuals often lack insight into the struggles of everyday people. Many are suffering, and it's crucial to listen to their concerns. Engaging in endless wars is not sustainable, and there should be a focus on peace. The divisive rhetoric from leaders only exacerbates the anger in the country. Instead of labeling half the population negatively, we should promote unity and the American dream. Politicians must learn economics to grasp the true causes of inflation, which stem from government actions, not private enterprise.

We fund one third of Ukraine's government, which includes salaries for teachers, janitors, and everyone else, not just the military. Meanwhile, people in our country are struggling to afford basic necessities like food and medicine. We need to focus on our own problems instead of paying for their government. Our priority should be to stop the killing and provide American leadership, rather than giving more money without any conditions.

We have an abundance of money for funding war machinery and foreign aid, like $8 billion to Ukraine. We also support Ukrainian businesses and banks with taxpayer funds. Humanitarian aid often ends up in corrupt hands due to lack of oversight.

For the last couple of weeks, Democrats have been attacking those who are exposing wasteful spending instead of focusing on stopping the spending. This underscores the fundamental difference between the left and conservatives. The left thinks bureaucrats are smarter than the American people. I'd rather trust the 77 million people who elected President Trump to identify the dumb things that taxpayer money is going towards. They're attacking the people President Trump put in charge. You can't question the bureaucrats, even though the smartest bureaucrat, Dr. Fauci, was wrong about many things. They even tried to set up a disinformation governance board to tell us what we can and can't say. I'll trust the guy elected by 77 million Americans to focus on stopping the stupid spending. We have a $36 trillion debt. We should pass Mr. Siskamani's bill again this year.

Since Biden took office, the U.S. has spent $100 billion in an undeclared war against Russia, primarily funding Ukraine with $75 billion. Despite claims of Ukrainian victories, many believe Ukraine cannot win against Russia's superior resources. Most Americans oppose further funding, yet Congress continues to push for more aid. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson plans to prioritize a $60 billion aid package for Ukraine, despite a lack of support from Republican voters. Critics argue that this funding diverts attention from pressing domestic issues, like illegal immigration and national debt. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene emphasizes the disconnect between lawmakers and their constituents, urging Americans to hold their government accountable and prioritize domestic needs over foreign wars.

Twitter, at least, was breaking even and passing audits. The federal government, however, is losing trillions annually and failing its audits. Senator Collins mentioned giving the Navy billions for submarines, only to find out the money disappeared without any new submarines. This level of waste is enabled because they're accustomed to operating this way without accountability. As Milton Friedman said, money is most poorly spent when you're spending someone else's money on people you don't know, which perfectly describes the federal government's situation.

It's ironic that those criticizing President Trump's audit of federal spending are the same ones who wanted to hire 80,000 IRS agents to audit Americans under President Biden. The battle lines are drawn: some colleagues support bureaucracy and spending over the American taxpayer. This isn't just Democrats; many in Washington D.C. have circled the wagons to support spending and bureaucrats over taxpayers. They have a right to be foolish, but these are the same people who chose to support illegal immigration over the rule of law.

The government will always spend whatever taxes yield and more. Government is currently too large, with programs that don't work and cause more harm than good. We don't need new government programs. We need to eliminate the ones that aren't effective.

We don't have any extra money to send to Ukraine, considering our massive deficit of over $1.5 trillion. Borrowing money from China to support Ukraine doesn't make sense. We don't have a rainy day fund with trillions of dollars just sitting around. Instead, we would have to borrow the money, which leads to inflation. Since Russia's war in Ukraine began, American taxpayers have already provided $113 billion to Ukraine. We have many issues in our own country that need attention before we borrow more money to fuel a war in another nation.

The reaction to the idea of opening the books on government spending is telling. People are freaking out about the possibility of seeing where our money is going and maybe even rolling back some of it. It's enjoyable to watch them spaz out over it and see what they're reduced to arguing. The US Federal Government spends more money and has more debt than anyone else in history. The moment someone suggests modest cuts or opening the books, everyone loses their mind, claiming it's the end of the world. They act like opening the books or cutting spending is corruption. Think about how backward that is.

Scott and Mike Pence, both Republicans, voted to raise the debt, while Donald Trump added a staggering $8 trillion to our national debt. This is a burden our children will bear. Looking at the 2024 budget, Republicans requested $7.4 billion in earmarks, while Democrats asked for a mere $800 million. It's clear that the Republicans are the big spenders. We need an accountant in the White House to address this issue.

We're being pimped by Zelensky and the US government. Our hard-earned money is being sent to Ukraine, and when Zelensky gets it, he says it's not enough. We can't even afford basic necessities here, yet we're sending billions to Ukraine. Zelensky is having steak dinners with celebrities while our veterans sleep on the streets and children go hungry. It's infuriating and makes no sense. If people want Ukraine to have money, they should send their own. We need to take care of our own problems first.

I wear a debt badge synced to the treasury to highlight the urgency of our national debt. It's hard to grasp trillions, but seeing the numbers climb rapidly makes it real. We're essentially launching cyber trucks of debt into the ocean every second. Lawmakers are apathetic, but we can't keep ignoring it. We're taxing the world by printing money as the reserve currency, but that won't last. We're weaponizing the dollar with sanctions and seizing assets, discouraging other countries from using or buying our debt. Some colleagues understand the problem, but vote for it anyway because it's popular. Our military-industrial complex drives endless spending, creating ill will and creating enemies. I try to make people realize there are consequences to their actions on the floor of the House, but I still am against sending our money overseas for these purposes.

Joe Biden has wasted a trillion dollars in less than three years, causing inflation that hurts working families. To stop inflation and save the economy, we need to cut spending, but not at the expense of American families and seniors. The president should have the power to refuse unnecessary spending, as Thomas Jefferson did. The Impoundment Control Act of 1974, which curtailed this power, is unconstitutional and needs to be challenged. When I return to the White House, I will fight to overturn this act and use impoundment to save money. This will not affect national defense, Medicare, or Social Security. The funds saved can even be used to strengthen Medicare and Social Security. Impoundment will also help control spending and eliminate the deep state and globalists from our government. It's a pro-growth, pro-American, and pro-freedom policy that only I can accomplish.

America is going bankrupt quickly, but nobody seems to notice. The Defense Department budget is a trillion dollars a year. Interest payments on the national debt have exceeded the Defense Department budget and are over a trillion dollars a year and rising. The U.S. is adding a trillion dollars to the debt every three months, soon to be every two months, then every month. Eventually, the only thing the U.S. will be able to pay is interest. This situation is like a person with too much credit card debt and does not have a good ending. Spending must be reduced.

I'm wearing this debt badge that syncs to the treasury, showing the debt to the penny and how fast it's growing. It's a hundred thousand dollars a second, like launching cyber trucks into the ocean continuously. Lawmakers are apathetic, but I'm trying to make them realize the consequences. We're able to finance this because we're the world's reserve currency, effectively taxing the world through inflation. But this won't last. Ironically, sanctions are pushing countries away from using the dollar. Seizing other countries' assets is immoral and shortsighted, discouraging them from buying our debt. Some colleagues understand this, but vote for things anyway because it's popular. I keep dissenting, voting against foreign aid and proxy wars. It's not about right versus left, but honesty versus falsehood.

I am a baby boomer who has saved money to pass down to my family. Politicians get countries in debt by overspending and wasting money. Countries are broke because politicians spend more than they can raise in taxes, borrow excessively, and print money. This irresponsible behavior is immoral, and taxpayers should not have to pay for it. It's time to acknowledge that these countries are bankrupt due to failed leadership.

Jerome Powell, the Fed chair, criticized federal spending, stating that the current path is unsustainable. This is significant because Powell has been supportive of Congress's spending habits. The US is facing massive deficits and increasing debt, which is draining the economy and posing a threat to the financial system. The Fed's role is not to manage the economy but to print money and deliver it to Wall Street and Congress through cheap debt. Powell's criticism is noteworthy as it shows concern about excessive printing. However, Congress continues its spending spree without any checks or balances. The media fails to address this issue, leaving most Americans unaware of the impending crisis.

We spent $8 trillion on the war in Iraq and got nothing in return. We killed more Iraqis than Saddam Hussein, created ISIS, and caused millions of refugees. Then we spent $16 trillion on the pandemic with no results. Now we're doing bank bailouts regularly. The government cut Medicare for 15 million Americans while sending extra money to Ukraine. A friend had his food stamps cut by 90%, leaving him with only $25 a month. 30 million Americans are starving, which is unacceptable. We're failing to take care of those who played by the rules and promised to be taken care of in old age.

Twitter, at least, was breaking even and passing audits. The federal government, however, loses $2 trillion a year and fails its audits. For example, Senator Collins mentioned giving the Navy $12 billion for submarines, but they got no extra submarines, and the Navy couldn't account for the money. It's like, only the federal government could get away with this level of waste because they've been doing it for so long and have become accustomed to it. As Milton Friedman said, money is most poorly spent when you're spending someone else's money on people you don't know, which is exactly what the federal government does.

We neglect our farmers, while the homeless, sick, and other problems persist in our major cities. Yet, we spend billions defending countries that are wealthier than us. Instead of raising taxes, we should lower them. Our payments to NATO are disproportionate and absurd. Our country is in financial ruin because we engage in unnecessary actions. If we focused on our own interests, we could generate profits and use them to support our homeless, poor, sick, and farmers. We should prioritize spending on those who truly care about us, rather than giving money to countries that don't.

Putin was dealing with Biden, and he knew Ukraine was stealing money we sent. Under Trump, that stops, ending the fighting and our wasted money in a war we shouldn't be in. Ukraine's president admitted not knowing where half the money went, which has been widely reported. The money sent to Ukraine is paying off "war pimps" at the Pentagon, prolonging the war for profit while young men die. We were on both sides at the start of the war with gas contracts with Russia and giving money to Ukraine. Missile defense systems went to Ukraine and members of Congress had stock in the missile defense company. Putin is responsible, but why isn't there outrage about China? Because everything is made there and it's all about the dollars.

The American people are sick of the lies, cheating, and spending. We're seeing the climax of living beyond our means, fueled by the dollar's reserve currency status. The country is bankrupt, morally and financially, with moral bankruptcy leading to abuse of power. Some in Congress want to cut back spending, but there are loopholes. Congress is not doing its job by passing appropriation bills. Trump is asking Republicans to vote for a bill that largely maintains current spending levels, with an additional $8 billion for military spending. They are always trying to kick the can down the road, they are not cutting spending. The whole system is massive, abused, and immoral. It's going to take some time to fix this issue.
