Patriot,
Remember when spending hundreds of billions of dollars required
an act of Congress?
What happened to that?
Earlier this week, Joe Biden announced he would "forgive" student
loan debt. But on WHAT legal authority?
Even House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said just last year:
"People think that the President of the United States has the
power for debt forgiveness. He does not. He can postpone. He can
delay. But he does not have that power. That has to be an act of
Congress."
As of now, it's not clear how exactly this forgiveness plan will
work, and it will likely face legal challenges in the months to
come.
The Penn Wharton Model estimates Biden's student loan
"forgiveness" plan would cost $605 billion, under strict "static"
assumptions, and the total plan could end up costing over $1
trillion.
Does anyone honestly think America has that kind of money to
spare?
A more likely possibility is that the "student debt forgiveness"
scheme is nothing more than a talking point, a media hit for
election season, something that will evaporate once the mid-term
election is over.
On the other hand, the billions spent in Ukraine is very real.
Every few weeks for the past six months, the Biden administration
has announced it would simply be shipping a few billion dollars
of "aid" to the government of Ukraine.
So far, it's amounted to over $13 billion in financial aid - your
tax dollars - and $25 billion in military aid, and $9.2 billion
in humanitarian aid.
Almost 50 billion dollars and counting.
For what purpose? As Campaign for Liberty Chairman Ron Paul
points out in his latest column below, it's the same
military-industrial complex that wasted hundreds of billions,
maybe trillions, of dollars enriching itself on the back of
no-win wars that only brought suffering and destruction . . . all
while American society crumbles.
That's the agenda of the Biden administration and the Deep State:
putting America Last.

More Billions to Ukraine as America Falls Apart
There is a video clip making the rounds showing President Biden
speaking at a recent NATO summit about the seven billion dollars
the US government had - at that time - provided to Ukraine.
Attached to that is another clip showing the horrific state of
several US major cities, including in Pennsylvania, California,
and Ohio. The video of American cities is shocking: endless
landscapes of filth, trash, homelessness, open fires on the
street, drug-addicted zombies. It doesn't look like the America
most of us remember.
Watching Biden bragging about sending billions of dollars to
corrupt leaders overseas with American cities looking like
bombed-out Iraq or Libya is US foreign policy in a nutshell. The
Washington elites tell the rest of America that they must
"promote democracy" in some far-off land. Anyone who objects is
considered in league with the appointed enemy of the day. Once it
was Saddam, then Assad and Gaddafi. Now it's Putin. The game is
the same, only the names are changed.
What is seldom asked, is what is in this deal for those Americans
who suffer to pay for our interventionist foreign policy. Do they
really think a working American in Ohio or Pennsylvania is better
off or safer because we are supposedly protecting Ukraine's
borders? I think most Americans would wonder why they aren't
bothering to protect our own borders.
A reported 200,000 illegals crossed the border into the US in
July alone. You can believe they are learning quickly about the
free money provided by the US government to illegals. They'll
probably get a voting card as well.
Last Friday the Pentagon announced that yet another $775 million
would be sent to Ukraine. As Antiwar.com reported, it was the
eighteenth weapons package to Ukraine in six months. Has there
ever been a more idiotic US intervention in history?
Supporters of this proxy war may celebrate more aid to Ukraine,
but the reality is that it is in no way aid to Ukraine. That's
not how the system works. It is money created out of thin air by
the Fed and appropriated by Congress to be spent propping up the
politically-connected military-industrial complex. It is a big
check written by middle America to rich people who run Raytheon
and Lockheed Martin. Americans watch their budget being stretched
to the limit while the Beltway fat-cats loosen their belts to
continue enjoying the gravy train.
Bloomberg reported earlier this summer that inflation is costing
the average American household more than $5,200 this year.
Inflation is a tax on middle class and poor Americans. The
wealthy - like those who run Raytheon and Lockheed Martin -
always get the new money first, before prices go up. The rest of
us watch as the dollar buys less and less.
As Washington salivates over fighting Russia in Ukraine, the rest
of America feels like we're becoming Zimbabwe. How long until it
takes a trillion dollars for a loaf of bread? Will there be a run
on wheelbarrows?
There is a way out. It's called "non-interventionism." The war in
Ukraine was caused by the US regime change in 2014 and the neocon
insistence that Ukraine join NATO. The State Department and CIA
thought it was a great victory to overthrow the elected
government, but meanwhile the rest of us get the bill. No NATO
and not one more penny for Ukraine!
