(December 22, 2020) Even though the latest military funding bill includes a provision that would require that all military bases named for Confederate leaders must drop the names within three years, only five Republican senators voted against it. Both of the Georgia Republican senators voted for it. In short they have thrown those of us that care about preserving Confederate Heritage under the bus. It is time to show them they cannot take our votes for granted any more. . . that we would rather the Democrats take control of the Federal government than let the GOP continue to presume our loyalty.
Additionally, only six GOP senators voted against the new trillion dollar COVID relief bill notwithstanding its reckless spending. It puts our national debt at more than 100% of annual GNP, which is a level that has not been seen since World War II. Republicans are okay with it because the artificial money keeps the Stock Market going ever higher. It is a Ponzi scheme. Like all Ponzi Schemes it will eventually collapse. If the Democrats get control of the Senate it will just happen sooner, that’s all. Here’s how.
1. The Democrats may grant statehood to Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico thereby gaining four more Democrat senators. 2. The Democrats may stack the the Supreme Court in order to gain control of all three branches of the Federal Government. 3. The Democrats may outlaw filibuster. Given the three above the Democrats will wreck our society with initiatives such as Slavery Reparations and foster even more rapid growth in the national debt.
