CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY APRIL 6, 2021
IN LUKE 14:28, JESUS ASKS: “SUPPOSE ONE OF YOU WANTS TO BUILD A TOWER. WON’T YOU FIRST SIT DOWN AND ESTIMATE THE COST TO SEE IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO COMPLETE IT?”
MOST PEOPLE WOULD ASK THEMSELVES THE QUESTION, BUT NOT GOVERNMENT.
THE MASSIVE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE POURING OVER OUR SOUTHERN BORDER WILL ADD SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE COSTS THE U.S. GOVERNMENT IS ALREADY INCURRING WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN’S MASSIVE SPENDING PLANS. THIS USED TO BE A CONCERN FOR REPUBLICANS BUT THEY’VE JOINED THE SPENDING SPREE WHILE GIVING LIP SERVICE TO BALANCED BUDGETS.
IF ILLEGAL ALIENS RECEIVE AMNESTY, AS MANY LIBERAL DEMOCRATS WANT – BECAUSE IT GIVES THEM NEW VOTERS – IT WILL COST EVEN MORE IN SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE BENEFITS. U.S. CITIZENS HAVE TO PAY INTO THOSE PROGRAMS FOR AT LEAST TEN YEARS BEFORE WE ARE ELIGIBLE TO BENEFIT FROM THEM.
MASSIVE DEBT HAS CHARACTERIZED THE FALL OF NATIONS IN THE PAST, AS I WRITE IN MY LATEST BOOK “AMERICA’S EXPIRSATION DATE.” HOW DO WE EXPECT TO ESCAPE A SIMILAR FATE IF WE DON’T FIRST COUNT THE COST? I’M CAL THOMAS.
