The Democrats' Proposal to Destroy Our Republic

April 15, 2020 2:40pm

Democrats are proposing that the U.S. Treasury give $2000 per person per month to every American age 16 or older making less than $130,000/year. If, as census data indicates, this would be approximately 250 million people, so that's $500 billion per month ($6 trillion/year).

For perspective, the entire federal budget before the coronavirus relief bill was $4.7 trillion. With those relief bills, it is now about $7 trillion, of which $3.4 trillion is debt.

There is no way this country can afford to fund the Democrats' proposed giveaway. But how many votes will their proposal buy?

Enough to win the presidency, take the Senate, and increase their majority in the House.

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship."

That quote is usually attributed to 18th century Scottish historian Alexander Tytler or to 18th century French historian Alexis de Tocqueville. But the real author is unknown. Regardless of who said it, it is absolutely correct. And it perfectly describes how Democrats will destroy our country.

The government-mandated coronavirus shutdown, whether foolish or malicious, was the worst possible course of action we could have taken.

The result will be seen in the November 2020 elections when we will usher in the complete destruction of our Republic.
