WHEN WILL OUR GOVERNMENT SERVE OUR NEEDS?
Does anyone wonder why the U.S. Congress and the last four
presidents, including Obama, refuse(d) to enforce America’s immigration laws
and borders?
Answer: the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, manufacturing,
farming, retail, construction, hotels, restaurants and food processing concerns
thrive on 21st century slave labor. You can see the results of their
law-breaking in every fast food joint, construction site, farming operation,
meat processing plant, restaurant and ski resort across the country.
Those powerful interests do not want to hire honest workers,
pay taxes, see an amnesty or any kind of enforcement of law within the United
States. Why? Too much money being made by the elites!
As the author William Lederer said, “We have met the enemy
and he is us.”
When you watch our nation spiral into unimaginable $14
trillion in debt while it languishes for 10 years in two useless and
unwarranted wars"we Americans continue re-electing the same bunch of cronies
that placed us into this mess.
Why in
the name of common sense and rational decision-making did the people of Nevada
re-elect the incompetence and corruption of
U.S. Senator Harry Reid, or Arizona’s John McCain, or Colorado’s Mark
Udall, or New York’s Charles Schumer?
They clearly failed in their work for 10 to 30 years in the
Congress! They put us where we sink
today.
With 15 million Americans unemployed and 43 million
subsisting on food stamps, wouldn’t you think those Congressional leaders would
stop eight to ten million illegal aliens from holding down full time jobs"just by
enforcing our employment laws? Wouldn’t
you expect them to bring manufacturing jobs back to America by instituting Fair
Trade rather than continue with Free Trade?
It’s too simple isn’t it?
How can we stop the illegal invasion of our country? Why don’t we? Answer: a few people in big places make huge
money while the rest of us subsidize the invasion at $346 billion annually.
(Source: www.TheSocialContract.com, Edwin
Rubenstein Report) The rest of America with
a job could care less about the rest of us without a job.
The simplest, most effective avenue for stopping illegal
immigration: mandatory E-Verify for all employers. Arrest, prosecution and hard time for
non-compliers! It’s quick, easy and
works.
It should be a slam dunk!
But our Congress and states dance, juke and avoid implementing it with
their collective power. They vote
against it. They vote for destruction of
America’s middle class.
But we keep electing them!
Are we nuts or what? Are we
stupid? Are we too apathetic? Do we just not care about the future of our
children?
I mean, our Congress and president allow close to $100
billion in drugs to cross over our borders annually. That’s a heck of a cash transfer for the last
40 years of the Drug War. We’ve paid $80
billion a year since 1971 for the War on Drugs.
Result: drugs remain easily available, cheap and in unlimited quantities
in 2011. Forty years later and a
trillion dollars and our tax dollars haven’t stop a single drug and millions of
drug sales within our country.
Heaven only knows what the costs in drug rehab, deaths and
prison sentences cost us!
Ya think we might do something different? Duh! Dumb and dumber!
We suffer a $700 billion a year trade deficit, but do you
think Congress or this president would move toward Fair Trade, i.e., China sells
us a billion dollars in products and we sell China a billion. Voila! Equal trading
partners and Americans enjoy being employed!
Tax coffers filled with working Americans! What a concept!
We maintain 570,000 military personnel on 700 bases around
the world in 120 countries at a cost of trillions. For what?
As our own infrastructure decays into oblivion, why are we
nation-building Iraq and other countries at $12 billion a month?
With 15 million unemployed Americans, why are we importing
225,000 immigrants with green cards every 30 days without end? Are we nuts or just plain crazy?
Will Obama, McCain, Levin, Schumer, Pelosi, Boxer, Udall,
Bennett, Rubio and the rest of that band of public servants give a thought to
serving our citizens in our country?
McCain spent $21 million
just to get reelected for the umpteenth time in his vainglorious forever
senate career.
Will Congress serve us?
No! Those members serve the drug cartels,
the illegal alien employers, the Chinese, the Mexicans, the illegal alien
anchor baby mothers and, well, just about everyone else but us, the American
people!
Will it change? Ha,
ha! You have got to be kidding! I can see a major depression within two to
three years. I can see an enormous
breakdown of our financial system that we will break our country. We will manifest a depression that will make
1929 look like a grade-school picnic.
Can we change course? Will we?
Probably not! Congress and the
elites will ride this country down to its knees and then, drive it into a
grave. Yet, here are ideas to change
course:
·
Moratorium on all immigration
·
Fair Trade instead of Free Trade
·
Pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan
·
Cease the Drug War and try something new
·
Engage massive conservation efforts in energy
·
Engage massive recycling programs in metals,
glass, plastics and resources
·
Elect members of Congress that will serve us
·
Term limits for all of congress maximum of 10
years
·
Recall our current president for gross
incompetence
·
Your idea?
This Republican form of government is not a spectator sport. Get involved!
