America is facing the worst crisis it has had to face in its history. This crisis places us ever closer to the precipice of completely tipping over and losing our country.

Recently I watched a television show that had Mr. Mark Meckler and Dr. Tom Coburn as guests. Not being one to take as gospel everything I see or hear, I verified the following facts. I found it very disturbing as a clear path to ruin was laid out in front of me.

Unless one is deaf they have been hearing of the turmoil in Venezuela. Inflation is running rampant at 300%. I remember when, under the Jimmy Carter administration, our financial world was coping with a 17 to 20 per cent inflation rate. Inflation has a direct effect on every facet of our lives. I can remember when our stock markets had rough times more than once. History can repeat itself.

In 2017 the federal government took in $4,147,000,000,000.00 in revenue from all sources. At the same time our government had expenditures of $4,812,000,000,000.00 resulting in a $665,000,000,000.00 shortfall or deficit to be added to our national debt. Our national debt now exceeds our total GDP which is not a good thing.
Where does all this money go? It goes to many, many places that it should not go, all with the approval of our congress. When we elect Senators and Representatives to serve they take an oath of office. This oath includes the charge, which they swear to uphold, everything that is best for the United States of America. This oath reads as follows, straight from the Constitution, as follows:
All Debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation.
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

Clause three above mentions obeying and supporting the Constitution of the United States. There and nowhere else are federal officials directed to support anything but the United States. The constitution does not authorize congress to support or control the individual states. Therefore sending monies back to the states and control of how it is spent is not authorized nor is the federal control of schools and other facets of life.

The point being, we are financially broke. By the year 2023 our government will receive funds that will not cover interest on the debt, medicare and social security. Where will the funds to support our military, welfare and all programs come from? Unless we change immediately we are headed to the end of this republic.

This while our democrat and liberal comrades preach free, free, free. The bells ringing the death toll for America are waiting to be used.

I don’t know how one can think I’m wrong, but you know I’m right.
