CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY SEPTEMBER 3, 2025
SORRY TO BRING YOU BAD NEWS, BUT CONGRESS RETURNS THIS WEEK FROM WHAT IT CALLS ITS “AUGUST RECESS.”
AS IF THEY NEEDED REST BECAUSE OF ALL THE HARD WORK THEY DO.
GET READY FOR ANOTHER PHONEY GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN THREATS OVER THE DEBT CEILING. WE’VE SEEN THIS SO MANY TIMES IT’S REVOLTING. THEY WAIT UNTIL LITERALLY THE LAST HOUR BEFORE PASSING A CONTINUING RESOLUTION. THERE HASN’T BEEN A REAL BUDGET PASSED IN YEARS. ONCE MEMBERS ARE SATISFIED THE RESOLUTION CONTAINS ENOUGH OF THEIR PORK, THEY PASS IT. AND THE DEBT GROWS PAST $37 TRILLION WITH INTEREST MORE THAN THE GDP OF SOME NATIONS.
WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE MONEY THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE POURING IN FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP’S TARIFFS? WHAT ABOUT THOSE CUTS THE DEPARTMENT OF GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY – OR DOGE – EXPOSED?
AS I WROTE IN MY BOOK “AMERICA’S EXPIRATION DATE” NO NATION IN HISTORY HAS EVER BEEN ABLE TO SURVIVE WITH THIS HIGH A DEBT. WHAT MAKES US THINK WE CAN?
IT STARTS WITH VOTERS WHO MUST BREAK THEIR ADDICTION TO GOVERNMENT. VOTE OUT THE BIG SPENDERS AND LEARN TO CARE FOR YOURSELF FIRST AND TURN TO GOVERNMENT LAST, IF AT ALL. I’M CAL THOMAS.
