CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY APRIL 15, 2024
HAPPY TAXPAYER DAY AMERICA. WE ARE SENDING MORE OF THE MONEY WE EARN TO WASHINGTON WHERE IT WILL BE WASTED ON THINGS THAT DO NOT WORK, NEED REFORM OR ELIMINATION AND IN MANY CASES WILL BE DOLED OUT TO CONSTITUTENTS IN HOPE THAT MEMBERS OF CONGRESS CAN GET THEMSELVES RE-ELECTED.
AS I HAVE MENTIONDED MANY TIMES IN THESE COMMENTARIES, THE FEDS TAKE IN RECORD AMOUNTS OF REVENUE, BUT THEY SPEND FAR MORE THAN WE SEND THEM, PILING UP MORE THAN $34 TRILLION IN DEBT WITH THE INTEREST COSTING US $1 TRILLION EVERY 90 DAYS.
THIS CANNOT AND MUST NOT CONTINUE. NO INDIVIDUAL CAN SURVIVE ON MASSIVE DEBT AND NEITHER CAN A COUNTRY. THERE ARE TWO ANSWERS TO THIS. ONE IS TO ELECT PEOPLE WHO WILL AUDIT THE GOVERNMENT AND RID US OF PROGRAMS AND AGENCIES THAT DON’T WORK OR ARE OUTMODED. THE SECOND AND BETTER WAY IS TO SUPPOST THE CONVENTION OF STATES THAT WOULD CALL A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION AND REQUIRE A BALANCED BUDGET, REDUCING THE POWER WASHINGTON HAS OVER US.
WE HAD BETTER DO IT SOON. THERE IS NO TIME TO WASTE BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT CONTINUES TO WASTE MUCH OF THE MONEY WE EARN AND SEND TO PEOPLE WHO MISSPEND IT. I’M CAL THOMAS.
