That is the way it was… during Trump’s FIRST administration in November of 2017. What in the Hell has changed? ~ Editor
US President Donald Trump, in partnership with congressional Republicans, is pursuing tax cuts that will blow up the fiscal deficit and add to the public debt, while benefiting the rich at the expense of middle – and working-class Americans. Once again, Trump has not hesitated to betray the people he conned into voting for him.
After multiple failed attempts to “repeal and replace” the 2010 Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), US President Donald Trump’s administration now hopes to achieve its first legislative victory with a massive tax giveaway that it has wrapped in the language of “tax reform.” To that end, Republicans in the US Congress have just unveiled a bill that, if enacted, could vastly widen the deficit and increase the public debt by as much as $4 trillion over the next decade.

Congress recently passed the so-called “supplemental” spending bill, wasting billions of your tax dollars supplementing the already swollen $2.3 trillion 2003 federal budget.

The U.S. economy has been sliding the wrong direction for a very long time, and now our economic momentum in the wrong direction is accelerating.

Millions of Americans who receive Social Security benefits will get a lump-sum amount and see a spike in their monthly payments as part of a new law signed last month, according to the U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA).
We have been robbed! Our wealth has been siphoned away, and malicious thieves have covered their tracks. Many Americans have felt this growing suspicion as news of the Department of Government Expenditures (DOGE) audit emerges.
Gold has been a sought-after prize since the beginning of recorded history. From the days of the ancient Mesopotamians to the 21st century, gold has been used for everything from jewelry to currency. And while gold is still prized for numerous industrial and cosmetic purposes, it’s also valued in the investment world. 
Much attention has been focused on US gold reserves in recent days, especially the stockpile in Fort Knox. While Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent dismissed the possibility of revaluing the stash of gold to market levels, an analyst said that would be bullish for prices, which have already been on a tear. 
Apparently our government cannot explain how 4.7 trillion dollars was spent. Are you kidding me? A stack of 4.7 trillion one dollar bills would reach all the way to the Moon and part of the way back. This is yet another example of why we desperately need the Department of Government Efficiency.
