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.
Speaker 0: Why are the decisions of this body so awful? Because there's a printing press. I had a conversation with my one of my Democrat colleagues, and he said I said, we have to make a choice. You gotta decide whether you wanna help the poor in our country or you wanna help the poor in Ukraine or help whoever you're paying in Ukraine. He says, we shouldn't have to make a choice.
I was like, you do have to make a choice. The fact that you think you don't have to make a choice is why we're 36,000,000,000,000 in the hole. You have to make choices. Which comes first? Ukraine or America?
You can't do both because we don't have enough money. We only have enough taxes coming in to pay for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and food stamps. Everything else is borrowed. So maybe able-bodied people need to go back to work. Maybe there needs to be a work requirement.
Maybe for goodness sakes, food stamps shouldn't buy sugar drinks, chips, ding dongs, and Twinkies.
