‘We the People’ Are the New,
Permanent Underclass in America
By John W. Whitehead & Nisha Whitehead
“We are now
speeding down the road of wasteful spending and debt, and unless we can escape
we will be smashed in inflation.”—Herbert Hoover
This is financial tyranny.
The U.S. government—and that includes the current administration—is spending
money it doesn’t have on programs it can’t afford, and “we the taxpayers” are
the ones who must foot the bill for the government’s fiscal insanity.
We’ve been sold a bill of goods by politicians promising to pay down the national
debt, jumpstart the economy, rebuild our infrastructure, secure our borders,
ensure our security, and make us all healthy, wealthy and happy.
None of that has come to pass, and yet we’re still being loaded down with debt
not of our own making.
Let’s talk
numbers, shall we?
The national debt (the amount the federal government has
borrowed over the years and must pay back) is $30 trillion and growing. That translates to
roughly $242,000 per taxpayer.
Now the Biden administration is proposing
a $5.8 trillion spending
budget that notably
includes $813 billion for national defense, $30 billion to “fund the police,”
and a plan to reduce the national deficit by roughly $1 trillion over 10 years
through additional tax hikes.
It’s estimated that the amount this country owes
is now 130% greater than its
gross domestic product (all the products and
services produced in one year by labor and property supplied by the citizens).
The U.S. ranks as the 12th most indebted nation in the world, with much of that debt owed
to the Federal Reserve, large investment funds and foreign governments, namely,
Japan and China.
Essentially, the U.S. government is funding its
very existence with a credit card.
In 2021, we paid more than $562 billion in interest on that public debt, which according to
journalist Rob Garver, “is more than the annual budget of every individual
federal agency except for the Treasury, the Department of Health and Human
Services (which manages the Medicare and Medicaid government health insurance
programs), and the Department of Defense.”
According to the Committee for a Reasonable
Federal Budget, the interest
we’ve paid on this borrowed money is “nearly twice what the federal government
will spend on transportation infrastructure, over four times as much as it will
spend on K-12 education, almost four times what it will spend on housing, and
over eight times what it will spend on science, space, and technology.”
Clearly, the national debt isn’t going
away anytime soon, especially not with
government spending on the rise and interest payments making up such a large
chunk of the budget.
Still, the government remains unrepentant,
unfazed and undeterred in its wanton spending.
Indeed, the national deficit (the difference
between what the government spends and the revenue it takes in) remains at more
than $1.5 trillion.
If Americans managed their personal finances the
way the government mismanages the nation’s finances, we’d all be in debtors’
prison by now.
Despite the government propaganda being peddled by the politicians and news media, however, the government isn’t spending our tax dollars to make our lives better.
We’re being robbed blind so the governmental elite can get richer.
We’re not living the American dream. We’re living a financial nightmare.
In the eyes of the government, “we the people, the voters, the consumers, and the taxpayers” are little more than pocketbooks waiting to be picked.
“We the people” have become the new, permanent underclass in America.
Consider: The government can seize your home and your car (which you’ve bought and paid for) over nonpayment of taxes. Government agents can freeze and seize your bank accounts and other valuables if they merely “suspect” wrongdoing. And the IRS insists on getting the first cut of your salary to pay for government programs over which you have no say.
We have no real say in how the government runs, or how our taxpayer funds are used, but we’re being forced to pay through the nose, anyhow.
We have no real say, but that doesn’t prevent the government from fleecing us at every turn and forcing us to pay for endless wars that do more to fund the military industrial complex than protect us, pork barrel projects that produce little to nothing, and a police state that serves only to imprison us within its walls.
If you have no choice, no voice, and no real options when it comes to the government’s claims on your property and your money, you’re not free.
As Forbes reports, “U.S. foreign aid
dwarfs the federal funds spent by 48 out of 50 state governments annually. Only the state governments of
California and New York spent more federal funds than what the U.S. sent abroad
each year to foreign countries.”

21 Brilliant Uses for Buckets
One of my favorite ways to preserve food is to seal it in Mylar
bags and store them in food-grade buckets. With this method you can store a lot
of food in a small space, your food will have a very long shelf life, and you
can reuse the buckets as many times as you want.
But there's another bonus to using buckets that many people
forget: In a long-term disaster, you can use them for all sorts of other
things. This post describes 21 uses for buckets (especially five-gallon
buckets), and after you read it you'll never throw a bucket away again.
You can always buy buckets online or at a home improvement
store, but there are many cheaper alternatives. I just did a search for buckets
on Craigslist and found several for a couple of dollars each in my area.
Chances are you can find some in your area, too. You may also find them for as
little as a dollar at your local flea market...

Most Common Bug Out Mistakes
Bugging out is one of the basic pillars of disaster
preparedness. While it is usually best to stay at home, there are always those
cases where bugging out is essential to survival. If your home becomes
untenable, then you have to be ready to bug out and go someplace where your
chances of survival are better.
This means you and I have to put the effort into properly
preparing for the bug out. I see a lot of preppers who only do this partway.
They might put a lot of effort into building a bug out bag or their concept of
a perfect bug out vehicle; but they’re not really prepared to bug out.
It’s as if these people are just expecting things to work out;
something that true preppers know is a dangerous way to think. If any of us are
going to survive, it’s through proper planning and preparation...

Despite propaganda from the White House media manipulators, we're seeing many cut back on buying items & continued shortages at our supermarket. At least you tell it like it is!
I don't know how the Fed manages to continually pull a rabbit from its hat to secure our dollar; smoke n mirrors I suspect.
Many of us angry at the current state of America and wonder how Biden has any supporters at all.
Like the gal in your photo-we all need a shot of something in order to cope with Biden!
Perhaps this is the reason we see headlines like this:
A “Robin Hood Mentality” Emerges On The Streets Of America As Gangs Of Thieves Start To Prey Upon The Rich
Each day that I wake up, prices have increased & bozo Biden never accepts any blame; typical democrat fool & liar.
