CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MAY 21,2018
PERHAPS YOU’VE HEARD THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS ONCE AGAIN TAKEN IN A RECORD AMOUNT OF MONEY LAST MONTH. IT’S BEEN THAT WAY FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THE MONEY, OF COURSE, COMES FROM INDIVIDUAL TAXPAYERS, CORPORATIONS, FEES, HIDDEN TAXES, ETC. IN OTHER WORDS IT COMES FROM US.
PRESIDENT TRUMP WANTS TO CUT $15 BILLION FROM VARIOUS FEDERAL PROGRAMS THAT ARE EITHER NOT WORKING, OR UNNECESSARY. $15 BILLION IS POCKET CHANGE TO CONGRESS. BUT REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS ARE REFUSING TO GO ALONG, FEARING DEMOCRAT CAMPAIGN COMMERCIALS ACCUSING THEM OF THE FAMILIAR THINGS – STARVING CHILDREN AND EVICTING GRANDMA FROM HER HOME. AND SO YOU CAN BET NO PROGRAMS WILL BE CUT, AND POSSIBLY NEVER CUT IF FEAR OF LOSING THE NEXT ELECTION IS ALL THAT MATTERS TO THE GOP. FREPUBLICANS SHOULD STOP PLAYING DEFENSE AND GO ON OFFENSE, DEMONSTRATING THE FAILURE OF LIBERAL PROGRAMS AND PROPSING ALTERNATIVES THAT WORK.
IF REPUBLICANS WON’T CUT SPENDING, WHO WILL? IF REPUBLICANS CARE ONLY ABOUT GETTING RE-ELECTED, WHY DO WE NEED THEM AT ALL? JUST ASKING. I’M CAL THOMAS
