Can’t Afford Them? Don’t Have Them
Joe Biden Socialized Childcare Agenda
Joe Biden continues to promote his socialist agenda every chance he gets and every time he can get a few people in a room to listen.
While visiting Connecticut, he took the opportunity to promote his taxpayer funded childcare program. He thinks that by giving free childcare to parents, these parents will be able to go to work and make a living. Sure Joe!
He is trying to use this as leverage for his $3.5 trillion spending package, the one his own party will not go along with because it will bankrupt a country in already financial stress.
As usual, he uses empty words and gibberish. He says free childcare is necessary in “keeping America competitive in the global economy.”
Really? You must be a producer to be competitive and a viable trading partner, and we are not. Biden killed one of the only industries that was making money while making us energy independent, the oil industry.
He claims parents cannot be part of the workforce because they cannot afford the price of childcare. Seriously? If you have job, you can pay for your own childcare. First, you must look for a job. Mooching unemployment checks is not a job, you are a burden to society.
According to One America News Network, Biden was asking for $200 billion in funding as part of the “Care Economy Policy.” Now, he is pushing for private businesses to build “on-site” childcare centers.
Who is going to pay for this? Are private business owners on the hook for this additional expense? Is Biden going to use this to strip non-compliant business owners of their businesses? This is nothing more than Banana Republic socialism.
Private businesses can barely stay afloat with all the new bloated COVID-19 regulations and know the government wants them to become de facto babysitters.
Biden went on to say, “So, if you go to work with your child and you have a serious facility on-site. Well, studies show that when you have on-site care for children, businesses, the business itself have less employee turnover, less absenteeism, and higher productivity. We can show you all those studies. It’s real.”
Folks, Biden cannot produce those studies because they do not exist. This is all socialist leftwing propaganda. If this were indeed true, the Federal government would have already implemented such a program government wide.
Bottom line, taxpayers are not responsible for your children’s childcare. If you cannot afford childcare, it means you cannot afford to have children.
The government, be Federal or State, is not responsible for your irresponsible decisions.
The Biden Administration vs The Constitution
The Fight Over the Debt Ceiling and the 14th Amendment
The Biden Administration on their never-ending quest to bankrupt the United States with reckless spending, bottomless budgets, uncontrolled illegal immigration, and unlimited unfunded liabilities, is trying to revoke the Constitution on their own.
Specifically, the Biden administration is trying to use Section 4 of the 14th amendment, to justify eliminating the debt ceiling all together.
Section 4 of the 14th amendment reads as follow:
Section 4.
“The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any state shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.”
This would be completely unconstitutional as is the responsibility of the United States Congress to pay the bills via appropriations legislation, and only the Congress has the power to enforce Section 4, as specified on Section 5 of the 14th amendment.
Section 5.
“The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.”
Any attempt by the White House would be a clear usurpation of the Separation of Powers. The White House does not have the authority to unilaterally amend the United States Constitution or appropriate funds to serve its purpose.
As the Secretary of the Treasury, Janet Yellen, stated in a recent interview, “the White House interfering in matters of debt would be a disastrous situation.”
As a mentioned before, the debt ceiling was established to control government spending, not as an open-ended credit card for wasteful spending.
The deadline to raise the debt ceiling, again, is fast approaching and lawmakers need to produce something by December 3rd.
Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell told President Biden not to count on Republicans to help in another debt ceiling bailout, but Democrats know how McConnell operates and they can smell his bluff a mile away.
It is funny to see the Democrats invoking the Constitution when it serves their nefarious purposes. Otherwise, our Constitutional rights mean nothing to these people and the Constitution is an antiquated document.
Joke of the Week
Biden Administration Blames COVID-19 for Lousy Jobs Report
I understand the Biden Administration has made a habit of blaming everyone else for their screw ups but blaming COVID-19 for the latest jobs report is laughable and ridiculous.
On Friday, October 8th press briefing, the current White House Press Secretary, and failed former State Department Press Secretary under the Obama administration, Jen Psaki, told reporters, “We’ve also seen that the pandemic, while it’s been incredibly challenging on many many levels, it’s also prompted many people to think what their careers might look like and what careers they may pursue,”
She went on to say, “In our assessment, one is people are still fearful of COVID and what it will be like in work places and ensuring their own safety. There are still challenges as it relates to childcare, eldercare, the cost of those and being able to afford it, and also the availability which is something we’ve seen a shortage of in many communities.”
Psaki moved on by saying Biden was leading during a hard time.
First off, the Biden administration created these “hard times” by themselves and then shifted the burden on to the American people. Our economy was in a good place and jobs were plenty before the Biden administration took office.
One does not have to be a genius to understand the low jobs report numbers come in part because of government paying people more money to stay at home, federal government overreach on private businesses, and COVID-19 unconstitutional mandates.
This is a stagnant economy and therefore 194,000 is not an unexpected number. Of course, when economists are expecting 500,000, this is exposing the failure of the Biden administration.
Democrats need to stop blaming a virus and start taking responsibility for the failed economic policies and the government created welfare state for keeping people away from the job market.
Why work when the government is redistributing from the doers to give to the takers? Exactly!
I am sure laughing…
The Republican Party “C’est Fini”
From a Conservative Point of View
One thing I have always admired about the Democrats is the fact they always fight and get what they want, even in the minority. I don’t support their policies, but I always recognize a prize fighter when I see one.
Democrats exercise the power of the office while Republicans enjoy the glamour of being in office. That’s a big difference and now with the Democrats in power, Republicans are nowhere to be found.
Sure, they talk a good game in front of the cameras and in conservative radio talk shows, but when it is time to put their money where their mouth is, they play broke.
Republicans are all about perception over principles while Democrats couldn’t care less about what “we the people” may think or feel. The Democrats will ram anything through the Congress, and they are 100% in it.
The Republicans, even in the majority, rarely get anything done. The Obama administration committed many impeachable acts during their tenure, but Republicans were worried about been labeled “racists” for impeaching the first “Black President.”
From weaponizing the IRS against American citizens, to Benghazi, to Fast and Furious, and the extra judicial droning of American citizens. The Republicans did nothing and the Obama administration lived to tell the tale, their tale.
Democrats? Democrats were impeaching President Trump from the moment he became the Republican Party nominee. Once he became President, the game was on, and the Democrats were all over it and committed to impeach him by any means possible. They did it, not once, but twice.
On the first impeachment trial, they claimed President Trump had abused his power and obstructed the Congress. President Trump was impeached a second time after the January 6, 2021, riots at the Capitol.
On both trials the Senate voted for acquittal despite the fact 10 Republicans joined in with the Democrats to impeach him on the second trial. With Republicans like that who needs Democrats.
Need more evidence of Republican weakness? In the latest Republican caper, Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell, along with 10 Republicans join in with the Democrats to give them a huge victory over the debt ceiling debacle.
The Republicans who joined this exercise on fiscal irresponsibility were, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Alabama Sen. Richard Shelby, Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Maine Sen. Susan Collins, Missouri Sen. Roy Blunt, Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, South Dakota Sen. John Thune, South Dakota Sen. Mike Rounds, Texas Sen. John Cornyn, West Virginia Sen. Shelly Moore Capito and Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso.
Mitch McConnell and the Republicans didn’t need to do this. They had the upper hand, and they should have forced the Democrats to raise the ceiling via the budget reconciliation process. After the fact, Senate Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer took a victory lap while humiliating the Republicans in the process.
Chuck Schumer went on to say, “We have reached an agreement to extend the debt ceiling through early December, and it’s our hope that we can get this done as soon as today,”
An agreement? Excuse me, but this was nothing more than a capitulation by the Republicans. As they always do, talk a good game and at the end they always fold.
The Republican Party is weak and is ran by old foolish leadership. If you think they will step up to the plate and get anything done in the event they retake the House and the Senate in 2022, think again. Not with career politicians like Mitch McConnell or Lindsay Graham at the helm.
The Republicans don’t have it in them to fight, the Democrats are political MMA fighters. Consider this, when Democrats are the minority at the Federal level, they take all their energy and money and concentrate on local elections.
Democrats are always two steps ahead while Republicans are trying to figure out which foot to move first.
The Republican Party is dead. The road toward socialism has never been brighter.
