CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MARCH 12, 2021
THE PROGRESSIVE LEFT IS STEAMROLLING THE COUNTRY. THE SO-CALLED “AMERICAN RESCUE” BILL, COSTING $1.9 TRILLION, WHICH WE DON’T HAVE, RESCUES LITTLE EXCEPT POLITICIANS WHO WANT TO ADDICT MORE PEOPLE TO GOVERNMENT AND BAILOUT BLUE STATES AND CITIES THAT HAVE DONE A POOR JOB MANAGING THOSE STATES AND CITIES, AMONG OTHERS. OPENING UP THE ECONOMY WOULD WORK, BUT THAT WOULD MEAN PEOPLE RELYING LESS ON GOVERNMENT, WHICH DEMOCRATS DON’T WANT. THE NEW YORK TIMES SAYS PRESIDENT BIDEN IS PAYING ATTENTION TO THE POOR WITH THIS BILL.
LYNDON JOHNSON PAID ATTENTION TO THE POOR MORE THAN FIFTY YEARS AGO AND THERE ARE ABOUT AS MANY POOR PEOPLE TODAY AS THEN. THE POOR LACK MORE THAN MONEY AND THEIR PROBLEMS CANNOT BE FIXED BY GOVERNMENT. IF THEY COULD, THEY WOULD BY NOW SINCE WE HAVE SPENT TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON ANTI-POVERTY PROGRAMS.
ALL OF THIS IS A DISTRACTION FROM WHAT IMPROVES ANY LIFE.
WE ARE AT THE TIPPING POINT IN OUR COUNTRY, MIRED IN DEBT AND INCREASING SECULARISM. READ MY BOOK “AMERICA’S EXPIRATION DATE” AND SEE WHAT HAPPED TO OTHER EMPIRES AND NATIONS THAT HEADED DOWN THIS ROAD AND WHERE THEY ARE TODAY. I’M CAL THOMAS.
