Just one day after the government shutdown came to a close,
totally removing the cap on national debt until February 7th, the
government added a record $328 billion in spending to the national debt. The approved spending included tons of
pork.
COMMENTS:
Those guys show great fiscal restraint, don’t they? By the way, that’s $1,000 in spending for
every man, woman and child in the United States… in one day.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. More and more people are calling for the formation of a
third political party. Can such a party
succeed? (Patsy ~ Kellogg, ID)
A. Stats show that 58% to 60% of the Americans are not happy
with government. If you can find some political platform upon which those
people agree, you can form a viable third party. You need to pull from Independents, Libertarians,
Democrats and Republicans in order to pull it off. My only concern is that it would only split
the Republican vote and give the Obamacrats control of both houses of Congress
again in 2014.
Q. The Libertarian Party is asserting that the Republican
Party and Democrat Party are no longer two separate parties. Do you agree?
(Olivia ~ Santa Barbara, CA)
A. If you will check
back into my blogging history, you’ll see that I have been saying that for a
long period of time. You could split off
the “moderate” Republicans and fold them into the Democrat Party without a
glitch. There are a lot of Republicans
these days, like Mitch McConnell and John McCain, who are “closet”
Democrats. Very few people in Washington
are willing to stand up for what is right these days, if you’ll pardon the play
on words.
Q. What do you think the chances are that Russia will emerge
as being more powerful militarily and politically than the U.S.? (Lyle ~ Albuquerque, NM)
A. The Russian government just approved a 50% increase in
military spending on nuclear weapons; Obama wants to unilaterally decrease the
number of our nukes. Putin’s
international stature grew immensely over Obama’s during the recent Syrian crisis. Does that all answer your question?
